Creating a Viewpoint Variant

You can create viewpoint variants to show what the product looks like from different angles with different shading and camera parameters. You can also reuse viewpoint parameters in another viewpoint variant.

This task shows you how to:

Before you begin: Insert a product in the experience. For more information, see Inserting a Product in the Experience.

Create a Viewpoint Variant on an Empty Viewpoint Line

When a viewpoint line is empty, you use the plus button to create the first viewpoint variant.

  1. Set the 3D viewpoint to the position and orientation you want as an option for your variant.
  2. Optional: You can fine tune the viewpoint parameters to capture in the viewpoint variant. To do so, on the Perception Experience section of the action bar:
  3. In the Variant panel, in the Viewpoint line area, click the plus button to create the first variant thumbnail.



  4. Optional: Rename the variant thumbnail if needed.

Your first viewpoint variant is created.

Add a Viewpoint Variant to a Viewpoint Line

You can add a viewpoint variant to a viewpoint line that already contains variants.

  1. Set the 3D viewpoint to the position and orientation you want as another option for your variant.
  2. Optional: Define viewpoint parameters as explained previously.
  3. In the Variant panel, at the upper right of the Viewpoint line area, click the plus sign .



  4. Optional: Rename the variant thumbnail if needed.
  5. Repeat the previous steps as many times as necessary.

Your other viewpoint variant is added to the product line.

You can showcase these and other variants in a stage variant. For more information, see Creating a Stage.

Reuse Viewpoint Parameters

You can copy and paste the viewpoint parameters captured in a viewpoint variant (such as focal length, depth of field, focus distance, etc.) to reuse them in a single viewpoint variant, or in all viewpoint variants of a viewpoint line.

Note: The position and the orientation of the 3D viewpoint are not considered as viewpoint parameters, and are not concerned by this operation.

  1. Click the menu on the variant thumbnail of the viewpoint whose parameters you want to reuse.
  2. In the context menu, select Copy parameters.
  3. Proceed as follows:
    • To reuse the viewpoint parameters in a single viewpoint variant: right-click the concerned viewpoint variant thumbnail. In the context menu, select Paste parameters.
    • To reuse the viewpoint parameters in all viewpoint variants of a viewpoint line: click the menu of the concerned variant line. In the context menu, select Paste parameters.

Existing viewpoint parameters are replaced with the ones you copied.
