Scenes

Basic Scenes

This scene type is characterized by a simple background and lighting. Examples include Warm Kitchen and Office Space.

Presentation Scenes

This scene type is characterized by a background that becomes part of the environment. Examples are Wood Floor Room and Courtyard Background.

Studio Scenes combine elements from the previous two types. Examples are Reflective Floor Checkered and Grill Lighting.

Studio Scenes also includes an ambient occlusion lighting scheme.
