All scene assets get serialized in a json string which then gets stored on the scene atomsNode.
In all 3D applications, a tcAtomsNode node will be created on scene initialization. This node has one attribute containing the data for your agent variations and one attribute containing the data for your scene (Agent Types, Animation Clips, etc.). The data is stored on those attributes as json strings.
We provide tools for editing this json data, but you are allowed to create or edit it manually or with a script. Please be careful when doing this as you might break your scene.
You can find tools for exporting and importing your scene and variation data under the Atoms Menu:
- Atoms > Scene > Import Scene Json
- Atoms > Scene > Export Scene Json
- Atoms > Variations > Import Variation Json
- Atoms > Variations > Export Variation Json
Alternatively, you can use the Partial Scene Exporter to export selected content from your scene: Atoms > Scene > Partial Scene Exporter.
From the UI you can select all assets you want to export. Press on the arrow button to move them to the export list on the right of the UI and then click import.
When the "Export dependencies" option is activated, the export process will also store all dependencies. For instance:
- when exporting a state machine, all animation clips used by its states will be saved as well
- when exporting an animation clip, the compatible agent type will be saved as well.
