Scene Forge Collections

Scene Forge Collection is simply the parent of a group of prototype objects. For example you can have a collection called Cliffs, Houses, Trees, etc. The collection object lets you modify its objects/children more easily, like changing the color of all your Cliff prototype boxes to gray.

Properties

You can add and modify collections in your scenes by pressing the M key or navigating to Tools/Scene Forge/Prototyping.

Adding a new collection properties:

  • Name (Name of the collection)
  • Color (Color of the prototype objects inside the collection)
  • Secondary Color (Used for placeholder objects with two materials, like trees, houses, etc.)

Edit collections properties:

  • Add Collection (Created a new collection)
  • Delete Collection (Deletes collection together with all of its children)
  • Name (Change the name of chosen collection)
  • Color (Change the color of chosen collection)

You can assign prototype objects to a collection by:

  1. Selecting object/objects.
  2. Pressing M and choosing one of the available collections in the scene.
