Structure

The Media Folder structure is important as it keeps track of assets relating to your Projects.

Projects are the top-level folders, e.g. the default Project is at media/default/.

.

Adding media

To add media to a Project, place an asset into a corresponding folder using your system's file browser.

For example, you can drag and drop an image into the image folder, or a Module into the module folder.

Using an image

1. Add an image into the image folder of a Project
2. Add the Texture 2D Module to a Group and click the Module in the Group to focus it
3. In the Module Inspector, set the texture property to image to show a dropdown of available images
4. Select the image you added into the image folder

Using a video

1. Add a video into the video folder of a Project
2. Add the Texture 2D Module to a Group and click the Module in the Group to focus it
3. In the Module Inspector, set the texture property to video to show a dropdown of available videos
4. Select the video you added into the video folder
