Edit project settings

Select File > Settings > Project Settings to view and edit the following in the Property Editor.

Project Name

The name of your main project directory.

Created with Stingray

(Read only.) Lists the Stingray data format version of the project.

Project description

(Optional) Text description of the project content.

Data directory

The directory containing your project's compiled data. This is by default stored as projectname_data if you don't specify a custom data folder when creating your project.

You can update the path to use either a custom folder with compiled data for the project, or a new folder. After you specify a new folder, the editor recompiles to store the compiled data to the new data folder.

Source art directory

(Optional.) Lets you specify the location of your original art source files such as Maya or 3ds Max scenes.

This can help Stingray to resolve relative paths when you right-click in the Asset Browser and select Open Source Asset.

Default Startup Level Template
