If a scene is being rendered and you drag-n-drop a .vrmesh or .vrscene file you can choose to Merge the new asset with the currently opened scene or Open the new file.

This example merges a few .vrscene files and adds a .vrmesh file and assigns a material from the scene to the .vrmesh.

In addition, you can rotate, scale and move each object around. First enter the Selection mode by pressing the selection () button (or hotkey Q). Select the object and press W for moving, E for rotation and R for scale. Press the Q key to go back to selection.

You can also hide/unhide any object from the Objects tab.

The Materials tab can be used to assign any material to the selected object using the Assign to Selection button.

Once you make changes to your scene, you can save them as a configuration .vrdx file for later use.

Go to File > Save scene config file and save the .vrdx file.

In this example, we show two interior light configurations - one for daylight and one for night/dusk light, that we save and then compare.

We use LUT files to enhance the lighting and tweak the lights' intensity and color to match a day or night feel for the scene.

Save scene config file option saves a .vrdx file with the name of the scene by default. This configuration file is always loaded with the scene.

The Save scene config file as... option allows you to save a .vrdx file with a different name and load it when needed.

You can render a high quality snapshot from the current view. Go to Tools > Render a High Quality Snapshot. In the pop-up window you can select the resolution and the Samples for the render. The more Samples you use, the better the quality of the render, but at the cost of render time.

You can also enable the Save as defaults option to set the current output settings as your default.

Choose the output directory, name and format.

When the render is in progress you can Stop and save the frame the quality is sufficient, or Pause, or Abort the render.
