The workflow in the Polyte Editor is very similar to what you know from other 3D programs.
What is different, however, is that the user experience starts with the Project Dashboard.

Projects Dashboard

When you have selected a project, you can create and upload new Assemblies in the Assets column.

You can also manage your assemblies with folders and labels.

In Polyte, an assembly refers to a collection of objects, materials, textures, cameras & variants

Data Structure

Company > Project > Assembly > Object & Material & Cameras & Variants

The menu bar

The Polyte Editor seperates the workflow into different layouts, which are referred to as workbenches.
This simplifies the creation of 3d experiences within the application because it provides you with exactly the tools you need for the respective task.

Still in development

Polyte Editor is still in beta.

Therefore, some features are still in active development.

WIP:

  • Undo is not yet available. Please manipulate things carefully!
  • 3D geometries should temporarily be exported from Blender in order to be displayed correctly.
