A **3D Scene** is the product a [3D Proof](/docs/concepts/3d-proofs) shows the customer's artwork on. Scenes live in **Library → 3D Scenes**, and a Workflow uses one on its Soft-proofing step. The 3D Scenes library listing flat sheets, booklets and leaflets, each with a thumbnail, its print areas and a Store or Customized badge ## Start from a Store scene The library comes with ready-made scenes marked **Store**: | Kind | Store scenes | | - | - | | **Folded leaflet** | Half fold, Tri-fold, Z-fold, Gate fold | | **Booklet** | Booklet, Wall calendar | | **Flat sheet** | Flyer, Postcard, Business card, Square card | Use them as they are, or open one and change it. Saving an edited Store scene gives you your own copy, marked **Customized**, and your workflows use it from then on. A 3D product always starts from your own model. ## Create a scene Go to **Library → 3D Scenes** and click **New 3D Scene**. Pick **3D product**, **Folded leaflet**, **Booklet** or **Flat sheet**, and give the scene a **Title**. The Scene Studio asking What are you setting up?, with 3D product, Folded leaflet, Booklet and Flat sheet options Fill in the cards on the right. They depend on the kind, as described below. The preview on the left updates as you go. The preview starts with a numbered test pattern, so you can see which page lands where and which way is up. Use the buttons under the preview to try real artwork, and **Test pattern** to go back. Click **Save**. The library thumbnail is taken from the start view. ## 3D product The Scene Studio showing a mug with a numbered test pattern, and the Model and Parts in this model cards Drop a **GLB** or **OBJ** file on the preview, or choose one. GLB works best: one file with its materials. For OBJ, add its `.mtl` file too. Convert FBX files to GLB first. Models can be up to 60 MB. In the **Model** card, set: * **Real size (largest side, mm)**, so the print lands at its true size. * **Up axis**: **Y up** for glTF and most tools, **Z up** for CAD tools such as Fusion or SketchUp. * **Front view faces**: the centre of a print area, or the model's own front. **Parts in this model** lists the model's meshes and materials. Set each one to **Print area**, **Colour part** or leave it at **—**. Materials are usually the cleanest choice. Each print area has these settings: * **Width mm**, **Height mm** and **Bleed mm**: the printed size. When the surface measures differently, the studio offers **Surface measures … use** to take the model's size. * **Mapping**: how the art is laid on the surface. **Auto** picks for you; **Wrap (cylinder)** goes round mugs and bottles; **Flat** projects straight on; **Model's own UVs** keeps the model's mapping. * **Finish**: Gloss, Silk, Matte or Uncoated. * **Proof page**: which page of the customer's file this area shows. * **Mirror**, **Upside down** and a rotation, for when the art comes out the wrong way. Under **Colour parts**, give each part its colour and its **Shine**. The Print areas card with width, height, bleed, mapping, finish and proof page, and the Colour parts card with a colour and a shine slider ## Folded leaflet The Scene Studio showing a tri-fold leaflet standing open, with the Fold style, Flat sheet and Panels and creases cards * **Fold style**: Half fold, Tri-fold, Z-fold, Gate fold or Custom. **Opens** sets whether it opens from the side (upright creases) or from the top (level creases). * **Flat sheet**: the unfolded size, from a list (A4, A3, A5, US Letter, US Legal, Tabloid) or typed in. It is for the preview only: proofs use the size of the customer's artwork, unless you turn on **This product only comes in this size**. * **Panels & creases**: * **Custom** lets you set each panel's width. * Tri-folds and gate folds have a **Tuck-in allowance**, the amount the inner panels are narrower so they fold inside. * **How open** sets every crease at once (**Almost flat**, **Half open**, **Standing**, **Just opened**), and a slider per crease fine-tunes it. * **Lies on the table** picks the panel that stays still. * **Inside (page 2) printed** sets whether the inside is **Turned left to right** or **Tumbled top to bottom**. * **Paper**: see [Paper](#paper). The leaflet's Paper card also has [Edges](#painted-edges). Page 1 of the customer's file is the outside and page 2 the inside, unless you [supply a side](#sides-and-covers-you-supply). Panels count from the left of page 1, or from the top when the leaflet opens from the top. ## Booklet The Scene Studio showing an open booklet on pages 2 and 3, with the Binding, Page size and Opening and turning cards * **Binding**: **Left edge** for most books, **Right edge** for right-to-left reading, or **Top edge** for calendars and notepads. **Shown** sets whether it lies open on a table or stands up. * **Page size**: one page's size, from a list (A4, A5, A6, US Letter, Half Letter, Square 210) or typed in, and **Pages in the preview**. Both are for the preview only: proofs use the page size and page count of the customer's file. **This product only comes in this page size** fixes the size; the page count still comes from the file. * **Opening & turning**: * **How wide it opens**, and the **Page curve at the spine**. * **Opens at**: the front cover or the first spread. * The **Page turn** speed. * **Customers turn pages by** clicking, dragging or the arrow keys. Turn each one on or off. * **Paper**: the inside pages' stock, weight and **Page thickness**. Turn on **Heavier cover** to give the cover its own stock and weight. ## Flat sheet The Scene Studio showing a business card with rounded corners lying on a table, with the Size, Shape and display and Paper cards * **Size**: from a list (business cards, A6 and 6 × 4 in postcards, DL, A5, A4, US Letter, Square 148) or typed in. It is for the preview only, unless you turn on **This product only comes in this size**. * **Shape & display**: * **Rounded corners** in mm, with 0 for square corners. * **Shown**: lying on a table or standing up. * **Back (page 2) printed**: turned left to right or tumbled top to bottom. * **Edges**: see [Painted edges](#painted-edges). * **Paper**: see [Paper](#paper). Page 1 of the customer's file is the front and page 2 the back, unless you [supply a side](#sides-and-covers-you-supply). A one-page file shows plain paper on the back. Customers click the sheet to turn it over. ## Sides and covers you supply Some products have a side the customer doesn't design: a single-sided business card with a green back, a leaflet with a printed order form inside, or a booklet whose back cover is always the same. Set those sides in the **Sides you supply** card (**Covers you supply** for booklets), and the customer only uploads the rest. Each side is one of: * **Customer's file**: the default. The side shows a page of the customer's file. * **A colour**: the whole side in one colour. * **An image**: a PNG, JPEG or WebP up to 4 MB. **Fills the side** covers it edge to edge, cropping what doesn't fit. **Fits on a colour** shows the whole image on a background colour you choose. The customer's pages fill the sides you don't supply, in order: | Product | You supply | The customer's page 1 goes on | | - | - | - | | **Flat sheet** | The back | The front | | **Flat sheet** | The front | The back | | **Folded leaflet** | The outside | The inside | | **Folded leaflet** | The inside | The outside | A flat sheet or leaflet always keeps one side for the customer's file, so once one side is supplied the studio won't let you supply the other. ### Booklet covers The Covers you supply card: the front, inside back and back covers use the customer's file, and the inside front cover is set to a colour A booklet can supply any of its four covers: the **front cover**, the **inside front cover**, the **inside back cover** and the **back cover**. They stay in their places, and the customer's pages fill the pages between them in order. For example, with a supplied front and back cover, a 6-page file becomes an 8-page booklet: your front cover, the customer's pages 1 to 6, then your back cover. A back cover (or an inside back cover) always lands on the back of the last sheet. When the page count would be odd, a blank page is added before it. Sides you supply appear in the 3D Proof only. The flat **Pages** view and the print file are the customer's pages as uploaded. ## Paper Leaflets, booklets and sheets have a **Paper** card: * **Stock**: Uncoated, Matte, Silk or Gloss. It sets how much the paper shines. * **Weight (gsm)**. * **Thickness (mm)**: leave it empty to work it out from the weight, or type the caliper of your stock. ## Painted edges Flat sheets and folded leaflets can show painted edges, like edge-painted business cards. Set **Edges** to **Painted (a colour)** and pick the colour, or leave it on **Paper**. On a flat sheet the whole edge is painted, rounded corners included. On a leaflet only the outer edges of the sheet are painted, and the creases stay paper. The edge is as thick as the paper, so a colour on ordinary card is a hairline. Set **Thickness (mm)** to your stock's real caliper, for example 1.2 mm for a thick painted-edge card, and the edge shows as it will look in the hand. ## Camera views Each scene comes with camera views, shown as buttons above the preview. To add your own, turn the preview to the angle you want and press **+**. In the **Camera views** card, choose the **start view**, which is what customers see first and what the library thumbnail shows. You can rename or delete the views you added. ## Use a scene in a workflow Open the workflow, turn on **Soft-proofing**, and under **Show a preview to customer?** choose the scene. Scenes are listed by kind and name, for example *Sheet · Business card*. **Flat pages** keeps the flat proof, and **+ New scene…** opens the Scene Studio. A workflow's Soft-proofing step turned on, with Sheet · Business card chosen under Show a preview to customer?
