Top level of a scene. Typically created design time from a component from the GLScene palette in the Delphi IDE. At design time its is possible to add objects such as spheres, lights and cameras. A camera defined on a
TGLScene can be used by a
TGLSceneViewer to display a scene.
The following is a more format description:
The scene contains the scene description (lights, geometry...), which is basicly a hierarchical scene graph made of
TGLBaseSceneObject. It will usually contain one or more
TGLCamera object, which can be referred by a Viewer component for rendering purposes.
The scene's objects can be accessed directly from Delphi code (as regular components), but those are edited with a specific editor (double-click on the
TGLScene component at design-time to invoke it). To add objects at runtime, use the AddNewChild method of
TGLBaseSceneObject.
Important properties and methods:
findsceneobject TGLBaseSceneObject: Searches the scene for an object of a specific name.
For example: FSkydome:=TGLSkydome(glscene.findsceneobject('skydome'));
addsceneobject: Adds an object and runtime to a scene.
For example: TGLSprite(glscene.AddNewChild(TGLSprite));
Unit:

Descends from
