Working with Scenes
A Scene is the foundation of your PlayCanvas application. It defines the 3D world that users will experience, containing all the entities, components and settings that make up your game or interactive experience.
What's in a Scene?
Every scene contains:
- Entities - The objects in your scene, organized in a hierarchy. Entities can represent characters, props, lights, cameras or any other element.
- Components - The building blocks that give entities their behavior and appearance. Components handle rendering, physics, audio, user interface and more.
- Scene Settings - Global properties that affect the entire scene, such as physics gravity, ambient lighting, fog and skybox.
