Online Assets
The Online Asset Library contains three categories: Model, Material, and Particle. All Assets are stored in the cloud and need to be downloaded before they can be used in a project.
The Cloud Assets are updated from time to time.
Model
Plants
Plants used as a single model into the scene, or you can use the plant tool to draw in bulk in the scene. Most of the models follow the wind movement system to simulate the dynamic effect of plants, and a few are 2D models that always face the camera screen.
Characters and Vehicles
Most of them are 3D dynamic models, which show their movements when the picture quality is switched to real time, or when they are in video mode and given key frames. A few are 2D models, always facing the camera screen, to meet the needs of the basic map.
Decals
Decal assets are added, including road signs, damaged walls, water stains, graffiti and other types. Download decals from "Assets Library" - "Model" - "Decals", and they can be placed on any model surface in a scene. The decal supports modifying the size, including the plane size of the decal itself and the influence range of the projection. The projection direction of the decal defaults to the positive X-axis direction. Objects within the bounding box of the decal will be affected by its projection. The material of the decal can be edited: after placing the decal assets in the scene, edit the decal material on the right sidebar.
Material
D5 Render's material library provides excellent quality PBR material presets that can be used after clicking on them to download.
Materials are categorized according to common usage, click on a preset material under a different category, wait for the download to complete, select the material, mouse over the material you need to replace in the scene, and click the mouse again to replace it.
For the preset materials in the material library, custom editing are supported. In the "Other" category of the material library, there are some commonly used basic materials that can be used as base templates for some special materials for quick editing.
Particles
The particles are dynamic models, including flames, fountains, falling leaves, etc. and are used in exactly the same way as the model Assets.
