We've been quite busy here at Yooba HQ, working hard on a great new feature for Yooba Studio: the Scene Box. A scene box is an object you place on the scene, much like any other object. It can be seen as a container which holds additional scenes. These scenes works just like regular scenes: they can contain objects, animations and transitions.
So, what's the use of these scenes? A scene box can be used to create dynamic "surfaces" on a scene, where different objects and content can act and animate independantly of the rest of the projects. This makes it much easier to create and manage more complex projects, with a lot of different parts.
As a project grows in complexity, you need more control over what parts are loaded and when they're loaded. We've added some functionality for that as well. You are now able to control whether a scene should load (i.e. load it's content) together with the project, or wait until it's being viewed for the first time. This behavior also applies to scene boxes. The design of what's shown during loading is totally up to you: keep it simple with just a plain loading bar, or go for something more with images, animations!
Below is an example of how the scene box can be used to create an image gallery.
Keep your eyes open for more info on these two new features in the short future, with tutorials on how to use them.
