Quick Start

To help you learn VRED, click the cards below for video tutorials specific to the chosen topic. Choose from:

Introduction

This video series is designed to give new VRED users a successful start up experience. Let's get started with a tour of the VRED interface.

Onboarding

Learn about the Home dialog, which contains an assortment of useful links for new and returning users and the various ways to access it.

Opening and Manipulating a Model

Learn about how to open, optimize, and manipulate a model in VRED.

User Interface

Learn how to dock modules, customize your workspace, navigate, select and transform objects, view isolated content, and reduce display quality while working.

Data Preparation

Learn how to customize settings and open, save, export, and reimport files. For geometry data prep, find videos on flushing transforms, correcting surface normals, and separating, merging, and splitting geometry.

Interactions

Learn to run sequences for presentations, load Python commands, annotate content, use clipping planes and measurement tools, and analyze surfaces. See how to activate your own internal webserver to communicate with VRED.

Materials and Environments

Get started with an overview of the editor, the various material types, and settings, as well as how to assign materials, color correct, transform, and change environments.

Materials

Get a high-level overview of the Material Editor and working with materials in VRED.

Environments, Ambient Occlusion, and Rendering

Learn about environments, ambient occlusion, and rendering in VRED.

Cameras

Get an introduction to the camera settings, viewpoints, camera rotation, as well as using the fog and image processing effects, such as vignette, glow, and glare, in a scene.

Lighting

Learn about the Light Editor, its standard lights, as well as area and object lights, and using HDR Light Studio when raytracing in VRED.

Animation

Get animation basics, like copying and pasting animation, keyframes, using the timeline, importing joints, working with clips and the Clip Maker, the Curve Editor, and more.

Rendering

Find information on rendering, the visualization modes, stereoscoptic rendering modes, lens flares, and raytracing.

Variant Sets and Switches Overview

Get the basics on touch sensors, geometry, viewpoints, animation, and material variants, variant sets, and switches.

Collaboration
