Libraries Panel at the lower part of the application interface, provides access to following elements in VR Studio

Assets Library
Material Library
Animation Time Line
Sequences Library
Scene States Library

Both Asset Libraries and Material Library are mainly used to access assets and materials provided from SimLab Soft. The user can still add her/his own assets to the asset libraries.

Animation, Sequences and Scene States tabs provide access to user created elements in the scene and to add more elements to the current scene.

 

Animation Time Line

Provides the user with a tool to visualize and edit animation key frames, as well as to set the animation duration, by setting the end key frame value.

The current frame is marked on the time line by a red vertical line. The names of the animated objects appear on the left part of the time line, clicking on the name of any object automatically selects it in the 3D area.

The user can play animation by clicking the Play Animation button in the animation time line, or by hitting the Space Bar. The tool bar also
includes the tool buttons Go to First Frame (Shortcut Home) and Go to Last Frame (Shortcut End).

The following tutorial shows how to use Animation Time Line to create animations and to convert them into sequences.

Sequence Library

 

Scene State Library

Scene States enable the user to capture different configurations for the selected 3D model(s), or for the whole scene.
