Entities
Universal Settings
- Position
The position of an entity refers to where its center point is located. Positional data is calculated based on a cylinder that encompasses the camera. The radius of this cylinder can be changed and the cylinder has an infinite height.
- \({\alpha}\) (deg)
The horizontal position in the fov, calculated as an offset from the center point
1 degree represents 1 degree of clockwise rotation away from the fixed camera center on the cylinder
Moving an entity horizontally will rotate it to face the camera
- y (m)
The vertical position in the fov
This axis is in terms of world units where 1 world unit is equal to 1 meter in 3D space
- z (m)
The distance from the camera
This axis is in terms of world units where 1 world unit is equal to 1 meter in 3D space
- Rotation (deg)
The axis of rotation is located at the position coordinate of the entity and faces the camera
- Color
The primary color of the entity
Advanced Universal Settings
Advanced mode offers more freedom with position and rotation than standard mode. Entities no longer move around a cylindrical plane, but instead move in 3D space.
- Position
The position of an entity refers to where its center point is located. The location of the camera is noted as \((0,0,0)\)
- x (m)
The horizontal position in the fov
This axis is in terms of world units where 1 world unit is equal to 1 meter in 3D space
Moving an entity horizontally will no longer rotate it to face the camera
- y (m)
The vertical position in the fov
This axis is in terms of world units where 1 world unit is equal to 1 meter in 3D space
- z (m)
The distance from the camera
This axis is in terms of world units where 1 world unit is equal to 1 meter in 3D space
- Rotation
The axis of rotation is located at the position coordinate of the entity and faces the camera
- x (deg)
rotation about the x axis
- y (deg)
rotation about the y axis
- z (deg)
rotation about the z axis
- Color
The primary color of the entity

Using Textures
There are some textures built into the site. They can be found here.
Textures can also be uploaded as JPGs, PNGs or TIFFs and added to the list of available textures.
Applying a texture will automatically scale the plane to fit the aspect ratio.
