Editing Scenes

The Creator Hub includes a powerful Scene Editor that combines a simple no-code interface with the ability to write code to customize your scenes further.

See Creator Hub Installation to get started.

Create a scene #

To create a new scene, open the Creator Hub and press the Create scene button.

You can then select what template to use as a starting point. You can pick a blank scene or a project with some initial content.

Then you’ll be asked to name your scene, and choose a location to save it.

See Manage scenes for more details.

Moving around #

To find your way around the Scene Editor:

• Use A and W to move close or far. You can also use the mouse scroll wheel, or + and - keys
• Use S and D to move sideways.
• Use Q and E to move up and down.
• Click the Right Mouse Button and drag to rotate the camera.
• Press Space bar to reset the camera back to the default position
• Use Left Mouse Button to click and select items and to move them around.

Add items #

Navigate the themed asset pack categories on the menu on the bottom to find different items that you can place on your scene.

To place an item, click and drag it in from the asset pack menu into a location on your scene in the canvas.

Click and drag a selected item to move it freely around the scene at ground level. See Scene editor essentials for more details.

💡 Tip: Some items are Smart items, these come with built-in interactive behaviors. See Smart items for more details.

Preview #

To test your scene and experience it like a player, click the Preview button on the top-right corner. This will open a new window with the Decentraland Desktop Explorer, running just your scene. There you can move around the scene and interact with interactive items.

📔 Note: If you don’t have it installed on your machine, download the Decentraland Launcher from Decentraland.org .
