	In ACT 3 AI, 2D & 3D Sets are virtual environments where your story unfolds.		The '''2D & 3D Sets''' feature in [[ACT3AI\|ACT 3 AI]] provides a flexible environment to design, manage, and visualize production sets.
	~~They~~ can ~~be AI-generated, built in external design tools, or imported from~~ 3D ~~asset libraries~~.		Creators can switch between simple 2D layouts for fast planning and immersive 3D environments for cinematic accuracy.
	~~2D sets are primarily static background plates or illustrated environments~~, ~~while 3D sets are fully navigable spaces with depth, perspective~~, and ~~interactive lighting~~.

	* ~~Ideal~~ for ~~stylized animations~~, ~~storyboards~~, ~~or cost-effective production~~.		# Click Switch to 3D for real-time perspective view.
	* Faster to ~~render and suitable for social media or quick marketing videos~~.		# Adjust [[Lighting\|lighting]], camera angles, and actor placement.
			# Save your configuration or export to the [[Render_Queue\|Render Queue]].

	2. 3D Sets:		== Collaboration ==
	* Fully modeled, textured, and lit environments.		* Share [[Shared_Session\|sessions]] with teammates for real-time co-editing.

== Overview ==
In ACT 3 AI, **2D & 3D Sets** are virtual environments where your story unfolds.
They can be AI-generated, built in external design tools, or imported from 3D asset libraries.
2D sets are primarily static background plates or illustrated environments, while 3D sets are fully navigable spaces with depth, perspective, and interactive lighting.

== Key Benefits ==
1. Create immersive scenes without physical location scouting or set construction.
2. Choose between 2D or 3D formats depending on project needs and production time.
3. Integrate sets seamlessly with [[Digital_Actor|Digital Actors]], AI cinematography, and visual effects.
4. Reuse and modify sets across multiple projects to save time and maintain continuity.
5. Combine AI generation with imported assets for a hybrid design workflow.

== 2D vs 3D Sets ==
1. **2D Sets:**
* Flat backgrounds or illustrated scenes.
* Ideal for stylized animations, storyboards, or cost-effective production.
* Faster to render and suitable for social media or quick marketing videos.

2. **3D Sets:**
* Fully modeled, textured, and lit environments.
* Allow for dynamic camera movement, depth of field, and real-time lighting changes.
* Suitable for cinematic productions, VR experiences, and high-end marketing content.

== Workflow for Creating 2D & 3D Sets ==

Open the [[Sets|Sets]] section within the [[Editor|Editor]].

2. **Choose Set Type**
Select either:
* AI-Generated 2D Illustration or Photo Background.
* AI-Generated 3D Environment.
* Imported Asset (FBX, GLB, Blender file, or PNG/JPEG for 2D).

3. **Customize Set Design**
* For 2D Sets: Adjust style, color grading, and composition.
* For 3D Sets: Modify geometry, materials, props, and environmental details.

4. **Apply Lighting & Atmosphere**
