#01 - UI Overview

[Music] In this tutorial, I'll show you the basic user interface of Word Creator. We won't go into detailed explanations just yet. Instead, we'll focus on the basic UI elements so you can get a clear overview of how the interface is laid out. Let's start with the main panel, which is always fully visible. At the top of the main panel, you'll find the toolbar, which contains the following elements. The home button closes the current project and takes you back to the main menu. The new button starts a new project. The load button allows you to load existing projects. The save button saves your current project. The incremental save button creates an incremental save of the current project. The save as button lets you save the project under a different name. The sync button saves everything required to transfer your project into other applications such as Blender, Unity, or Unreal using one of our World Creator Bridge tools that you can download in the customer portal. The screenshot button allows you to create a render. And finally, the about us button provides additional information about the developers behind World Creator. Directly below the main toolbar, the main panel is divided into two sections. On the left side, you'll find the hierarchy panel. This panel displays the complete structure of your terrain, the scene, and more. Here you can add new elements such as objects, materials, filters, and other components that influence and modify the appearance of your landscape. There's also a search field that lets you search for a specific element in the hierarchy. You can think of the hierarchy as being very similar to the hierarchy panels you may already know from applications like Unity or Blender. On the right side, you'll find the properties panel. This panel shows the settings of the element that is currently selected in the hierarchy. Depending on what you have selected, you can adjust the corresponding properties here. For example, if you select a material, this is where you would change its color or other attributes. In the top right corner of this panel, you'll notice a small icon that links to the corresponding documentation page, displaying the documentation for the selected elements properties. just in case you want to dive deeper into the documentation. Both sections can be adjusted in size using either of the two resizing handles. At the bottom of the main panel, you'll find the generator bar.
