Scene

This module provides functions for interacting with scene nodes and components. It allows you to create, read, delete, and modify nodes and components within the scene.

Nodes serve as the fundamental building blocks of the scene, organizing its hierarchy and storing the position, rotation, and scale of objects. Components, on the other hand, are attached to nodes and define their behavior. For instance, a mesh component defines the geometry of a node, a camera component specifies camera properties, and a light component defines light properties.

The node hierarchy forms a tree structure where each node can have one parent and multiple children. The root node is the top-level node in the hierarchy and has no parent.

Note

Child nodes inherit their parent node’s transformation, meaning that moving the parent node will also move its child nodes.

The scene consists of nodes and components that collectively define the 3D environment. It accommodates multiple nodes and components, with nodes capable of hosting multiple attached components. The scene is used for rendering, physics simulation updates, and input event handling.

To work with the scene, you must create a new scene, add nodes and components to it, and update the scene continuously.

Note

The scene will not be rendered until a camera node is added to it.

Let’s build a simple scene with a cube rotating around the origin:

require engine.core

var parentNode : NodeId

[export]
def on_initialize() {
    // add render settings with shadows and tonemapping
    let renderSettings = create_render_settings()
    get_component(renderSettings) $(var tonemap : Tonemap?) {
        tonemap.active = true
    }

    // create fixed camera
    add_component(create_node(NodeData(name="camera", position=float3(0, 0, -7))), new Camera())

    // create light
    add_component(create_node(NodeData(name="sun")), new DirectionLight())

    // create the parent node for the cube at the origin
    parentNode = create_node(NodeData(name="parent", position=float3(0)))

    // create the cube
    let cubeNode = create_node(NodeData(name="child", position=float3(-1, 0, 0), parent=parentNode))
    add_component(cubeNode, new Mesh(meshId=CUBE_MESH_ID))
}


[export]
def on_update() {
    // rotate the parent node. The cube is a child of the parent node,
    // so it will rotate around the parent node
    let dt = get_delta_time()
    parentNode.localRotation *= quat4(0, 0.5 * dt, 0)
}

You can find more examples in the sample projects.

To use this module, include the following line in your project file:

require engine.scene_core // or require engine.core

Enumerations

ChildrenPolicy

The policy to include children nodes in the bounding box calculation.

Values:

  • Exclude = 0 - Exclude children nodes from the bounding box calculation.

  • IncludeActive = 1 - Include only active children nodes in the bounding box calculation.

  • IncludeAll = 2 - Include all children nodes in the bounding box calculation.

MeshStaticStatus

Result of checking isStatic flag on Mesh and LodSelector components across a node hierarchy.

Values:

  • AllStatic = 0 - All Mesh and LodSelector components in the hierarchy have isStatic = true

  • NoneStatic = 1 - All Mesh and LodSelector components in the hierarchy have isStatic = false

  • Mixed = 2 - Some Mesh/LodSelector components have isStatic = true and some have isStatic = false

AddChildStrategy

Enumeration for strategies to add a child node.

Values:

  • KeepWorldTransform = 0 - Keeps the world transform unchanged. Suitable for 3D objects. Default strategy if not specified.

  • KeepLocalTransform = 1 - Keeps the local transform unchanged. Suitable for 2D/UI objects.

BlendingMethod

Blending Methods for Animation Layers used in sample_animation_and_overlay()

Animation layers can be combined in two ways, depending on the blending method:

  • Overlay – The layer replaces subsequent layers (order matters).

  • BlendSublayer – Multiple sublayers are combined into a single layer by normalizing and scaling their weights (order within a layer does not matter).

    • The last sublayer should be with Overlay method, and its weight should be the weight of the whole layer, not the sublayer (for technical reasons).

See overlay methods descriptions for further details.

For example, consider this layer stack:

  • Top Layer (weight 50%)

  • Middle Layer (weight 80%)

    • Sublayer 1 (weight 20%)

    • Sublayer 2 (weight 30%)

    • Sublayer 3 (weight 50%)

  • Bottom Layer (weight 100%)

This is represented as:

BlendingMethod.Overlay, weight 0.5 // Top Layer

BlendingMethod.BlendSublayer, weight 0.2 // Middle Layer, Sublayer 1
BlendingMethod.BlendSublayer, weight 0.3 // Middle Layer, Sublayer 2
BlendingMethod.Overlay, weight 0.8 // Middle Layer, Sublayer 3, Last Sublayer

BlendingMethod.Overlay, weight 1.0 // Bottom Layer

which in the end will result in that weights:

Top Layer = 50%
Middle Layer, Sublayer 1 = 20% * 80% * (100 - 50%) = 8%
Middle Layer, Sublayer 2 = 30% * 80% * (100 - 50%) = 12%
Middle Layer, Sublayer 3 = 50% * 80% * (100 - 50%) = 20%
Bottom Layer = (100 - 50%) * (100 - 80%) = 10%
Total = 100% (always normalized).
Values:

  • Overlay = 0 - result = layerA * weight + layerB * (1 - weight) . With 100% weight, the layer completely replaces all subsequent layers.

  • BlendSublayer = 1 - result = (Σ sublayer_i * weight_i) * layer_weight . Sublayers are combined into one layer. The last sublayer must be with Overlay method, with its weight set to the weight of the whole group (not just that sublayer). This ensures the total weight is preserved.

AttachmentMode

The attachment mode of a scene node.

Values:

  • Parent = 0x0 - The scene node is attached to the parent node as a child.

  • World = 0x1 - The scene node is still a child of the parent node, but is attached to the world. The local transformation of the parent node is ignored.

Structures

NodeData

A structure for initialization of a scene instance (single scene node or prefab).

Fields:

  • name : string - The name of the node

Handled types

NodeId

A reference (uint64) to the real scene node. It is used to uniquely identify a specific node in the scene.

NodeId is considered invalid if its initialized with NodeId(). Consider these examples:

// invalid
let node2 = NodeId()

// valid, constructed via create_node()
let node2 = create_node(NodeData(name="node2"))

So, if you want to check NodeId for validity, you can do it like this:

if (node == NodeId()) {
    print("Node is invalid!")
}
