# Scene Settings Click the **Pencil icon** on the top-right of the screen. This opens a series of scene-level properties to edit. ![](https://45449780-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FoPnXBby9S6MrsW83Y9qZ%2Fuploads%2Fgit-blob-d2147688ebde75948ba26a9fbe1261f9abdc66c7%2Fpencil-icon.png?alt=media) Here you can configure multiple properties including title and thumbnail, scene size, scene category and age rating, player spawn locations, and feature toggles. See [Scene Metadata](https://docs.decentraland.org/creator/scenes-sdk7/kinds-of-projects/scene-metadata). ## Scene details The **Details** tab lets you configure several fields about your scene. These fields are shown to players that might visit your scene, for example when expanding the location on the map, when being prompted to teleport, or when sharing a link to the scene on social media. Make sure you make the information here attractive and accurate to drive more traffic to your scene! ![](https://45449780-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FoPnXBby9S6MrsW83Y9qZ%2Fuploads%2Fgit-blob-ce1891d01c48a1142117a2d2a4576dfa1d11796c%2Fthumbnail-image.png?alt=media) The following fields are available: * **Name** * **Description** * **Thumbnail** {% hint style="info" %} **πŸ’‘ Tip**: If no thumbnail is provided, it uses the automatic capture you see on the scene's card. We recommend uploading a more attractive image {% endhint %} * **Age rating** * **Categories** * **Author** * **Email** The thumbnail should be a .png image of a recommended size of 228x160 pixels. The minimum supported size is 196x143 pixels. The image may be stretched if the width-to-height proportions don’t match 228x160. See [scene metadata](https://docs.decentraland.org/creator/scenes-sdk7/kinds-of-projects/scene-metadata) for more details on these fields. ### Tipping You can receive tips from players who visit your scene. To enable tipping, got to the **Details** tab on the scene settings and provide an Ethereum address under **Creator wallet address**. When a player visits your scene, they will see a piggy bank icon on the top-left of the screen. Clicking on it opens a modal where they can send you a tip. This menu can also be accessed by opening your scene's info on the map. The tip modal allows the player to select the amount of MANA they want to send. The player must own MANA in their wallet to send a tip. If the address you provided is linked to a Decentraland NAME, this modal will show the name of the wallet owner besides the Ethereum address. You will receive a notification on the Decentraland notifications tab whenever a player sends you a tip. ## Layout You can edit the size of your scene by clicking the *pencil icon* and then changing the number or rows and columns. Scenes in Decentraland occupy one or several adjacent LAND parcels. Each LAND parcel measures 16x16 meters. Set the number of parcels for the rows and columns and click **Apply layout** for it to affect how your scene looks on the Scene Editor canvas. ![](https://45449780-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FoPnXBby9S6MrsW83Y9qZ%2Fuploads%2Fgit-blob-94cf215f598e4253e8beab82c43b7b8ac9534255%2Fscene-layout.png?alt=media) To build something to deploy to LAND parcels you own, make sure the shape of the scene matches the shape of where you want it deployed. {% hint style="info" %} **πŸ’‘ Tip**: You can toggle each tile on the grid off by clicking on it. This allows you to draw non-rectangular shapes for your scene layout.  {% endhint %} If you own a Decentraland NAME, you can also deploy your scene to a [Decentraland World](https://docs.decentraland.org/creator/worlds/about). In that case, you'll have an unlimited number of parcels, but you will have a size limit in MB. See [Kinds of project](https://docs.decentraland.org/creator/scenes-sdk7/kinds-of-projects/kinds-of-project) to better understand the different options. ### Advanced view You can also click the **Set Coordinates (Advanced)** button to manually list the coordinates of your scene. ![](https://45449780-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FoPnXBby9S6MrsW83Y9qZ%2Fuploads%2Fgit-blob-0d27e4ab5d46d16c4a28bd6a5d0f7663ffc8f50c%2Fadvanced-coordinates.png?alt=media) In **Custom Coordinates**, write the coordinates of each of the parcels where you wish to publish. Separate the x and y coordinate with a comma, and each set of coordinates separated by spaces. Remember that these coordinates must all be adjacent to be valid. For example: `78,-2 79,-2 78,-3 79,-3` In the **Origin Point** field, define which of the coordinates in the scene should be treated as the point of origin. This has to be one of the coordinates you listed in the **Custom Coordinates** field. It's recommended to set the parcel on the bottom-left of the scene. ## Scene restrictions You can disable certain functionalities on your scene if you chose, in case they might be abused or clash with the kind of experience you want to create. ![](https://45449780-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FoPnXBby9S6MrsW83Y9qZ%2Fuploads%2Fgit-blob-256dd7099b9a9089211e7ce443211d5abfb61de5%2Fscene-restrictions.png?alt=media) * **Silence voice chat**: Prevent players on your scene from using voice chat. * **Disable portable experiences**: Prevent players from using [Smart Wearables](https://docs.decentraland.org/creator/scenes-sdk7/kinds-of-projects/smart-wearables) or [Portable Experiences](https://docs.decentraland.org/creator/scenes-sdk7/kinds-of-projects/portable-experiences). ## Spawn points The **Spawn Area** Entities in the scene define where players spawn when they access your scene directly, either by directly typing in the coordinates into the browser or teleporting. ![](https://45449780-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FoPnXBby9S6MrsW83Y9qZ%2Fuploads%2Fgit-blob-7795398a2f7ea8b1adcbb202a31edb1e1f932569%2Fdefault-spawn-point-component.png?alt=media) Your scene might have objects that can block players from moving if they happen to spawn right over them, like trees or stairs, or your scene might have an elevated terrain. It would be a bad experience for players if they spawned over something that doesn't let them move. That's why you have the option to set multiple spawn positions in ad-hoc locations. The position is comprised of coordinates inside the scene. These numbers refer to a position within the parcel, similar to what you'd use in a Transform component. {% hint style="warning" %} πŸ“” Note: All spawn points must be within the parcels that make up the scene. You can't spawn a player outside the space of these parcels. {% endhint %} Uncheck the **Don't Randomize** box to randomly offset the spawning players around the spawn point, with a maximum value in meters. This prevents all players from appearing overlapping each other when they spawn, which looks especially bad in crowded scenes. The Max Offset value is the maximum possible distance from the original spawn point, in both the X or Z axis. Set the Camera Target to set the direction in which players start looking when they jump into your scene. This allows you to have better control over their first impression. Click **+ Add Spawn Area** to include as many spawn points as you want. Players will randomly appear in one of those. {% hint style="info" %} **πŸ“” Note**: For more information about Spawn Areas, go to the [Spawn Area](https://docs.decentraland.org/creator/scene-editor/build/spawn-areas) docs. {% endhint %} ## Skybox Control You can control the skybox time of day in the **Settings** tab. You can set a fixed time of day for your scene. All players will see the scene with this time of day, and the skybox will not follow the day/night cycle. In the Creator Hub, open the scene settings and click on the **Settings** tab to find the **Skybox** section. Uncheck the **Auto** option to avoid using the day/night cycle and set the time of day you want. ![](https://45449780-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FoPnXBby9S6MrsW83Y9qZ%2Fuploads%2Fgit-blob-85bd070c455c7e5852eba1e78902edb88dbfd17b%2Ffixed-time-of-day.png?alt=media)
