	== Overview ==		== Overview ==
	In ACT 3 AI, Sets refer to the ~~virtual environments~~ where your scenes take place.		In [[ACT3AI\|ACT 3 AI]], a '''Set''' is the environment or location where your [[Scenes\|scenes]] and [[Shots\|shots]] take place.
	~~These sets~~ can be AI-generated, ~~custom-designed in~~ 3D ~~software~~, or ~~imported from external sources like Blender or VFX asset libraries~~.		Sets can be AI-generated, imported from 3D design tools, or customized in the [[Editor\|Editor workspace]] using the [[Set_Design\|Set Design]] system.
	They ~~form~~ the ~~visual backbone of your story by establishing the setting~~, ~~mood~~, and ~~style for each scene~~.		They provide the backdrop for [[Digital_Actors\|Digital Actors]], props, and action, ensuring continuity across your project.

	== ~~Key Benefits~~ ==		== Types of Sets ==
	1. Create ~~unlimited virtual locations without physical construction costs or location permits~~.		* '''AI-Generated Sets:''' Create immersive environments using text prompts (e.g., “Ancient temple at sunset”).
	2. ~~Customize every detail — architecture, props, colors~~, ~~and textures — to match your story~~.		* '''Template Sets:''' Pre-built environments such as office, street, forest, sci-fi lab.
	~~3. Iterate quickly with AI~~-~~assisted design~~, ~~saving time compared to traditional set building.~~		* '''Imported Sets:''' Import USD, FBX, or Blender assets for advanced worldbuilding.
	~~4. Integrate seamlessly with AI-generated cinematography~~, ~~lighting~~, ~~and camera movement~~.		* '''Custom Sets:''' Build from scratch using [[Top_Down_View\|Top-Down View]] and props.
	5. Import ~~or export sets for use in Blender~~, ~~Unreal Engine~~, or ~~other industry~~-~~standard tools~~.

	== Workflow ~~for Creating Sets~~ ==		== How Sets Fit Into Workflow ==
	1. Access the Sets Tool		* [[AI_Wizard\|AI Wizard]] → Suggests set types based on story beats.
	~~Open the~~ [[~~Sets~~\|~~Sets~~]] ~~tab within the~~ [[~~Editor~~\|~~Editor~~]] ~~to manage scene environments~~.		* [[Script_Editor\|Script Editor]] → Associates sets with scene descriptions.
			* [[Set_Design\|Set Design]] → Allows detailed customization.
			* [[Top_Down_View\|Top-Down View]] → Place cameras, props, and actors.
			* [[Storyboard_Panels\|Storyboards & Panels]] → Visualize how sets appear in shots.
			* [[Rendering_System\|Rendering System]] → Generates the final set visuals for previews and renders.

	2. ~~Choose a~~ Set ~~Creation Method~~		== Working with Sets ==
	* AI-generated set ~~from text prompt (e.g~~., ~~“futuristic city at sunset”)~~.		# From the [[Editor\|Editor workspace]], go to Set Management.
	* Import a custom 3D model from Blender or FBX/GLB format.		# Create or load a set.
	* Use a pre-built set ~~from~~ the ~~ACT 3 AI library~~.		# Add props, furniture, and background details.
			# Place [[Digital_Actors\|actors]], [[Lighting\|lighting]], and [[Cameras\|cameras]].
			# Save the set to the [[Asset_Library\|Asset Library]] for reuse across projects.

	3. ~~Customize the Environment~~		== Example Use Cases ==
	~~Adjust parameters such as:~~		* A consistent office environment across multiple corporate [[Marketing_Videos\|marketing videos]].
	* ~~Layout and architecture~~.		* Fantasy landscapes for a film or animation project.
	* ~~Prop placement~~.		* Reusable streets, parks, or interiors for episodic series.
	* ~~Color palette and texture styles~~.		* Minimalist studio sets for product explainers.

	4. Configure Cinematography Settings		== Best Practices ==
	~~Pair your set with camera positions, dolly/crane shots, and lens choices for desired framing~~.		* Use consistent sets across related scenes for continuity.
			* Save sets to the [[Asset_Library\|Asset Library]] for quick reuse.
			* Test camera paths in [[Top_Down_View\|Top-Down View]] before final renders.
			* Apply [[Lighting\|lighting presets]] to unify tone across different sets.

	5. Apply Lighting Design		== Troubleshooting ==
	~~Add~~ or ~~adjust lights, time-of-day settings, and environmental effects like fog or reflections~~.		* '''Set not loading''' → Recheck asset compatibility or clear cache.
			* '''Actors not visible in set''' → Verify placement in [[Top_Down_View\|Top-Down View]].
			* '''Render too complex''' → Simplify set elements or reduce resolution in [[Render_Queue\|Render Queue]].
			* '''Inconsistent visuals''' → Apply a global [[Color_Grading\|LUT or color grading]] profile.

	6. ~~Preview in Pre~~-~~Visualization~~		== See Also ==
	~~Render a low-res preview to verify set design works with your scene’s blocking and actor placement.~~		* [[Set_Design\|Set Design]]
			* [[Editor\|Editor Workspace]]
			* [[Top_Down_View\|Top-Down View]]
			* [[Storyboard_Panels\|Storyboards & Panels]]
			* [[Digital_Actors\|Digital Actors]]
			* [[Rendering_System\|Rendering System]]
			* [[Scenes]] · [[Shots]]

	7. Save & Reuse		[[Category:ACT 3 AI Features]]
	~~Store the set in your personal or organizational library for use in future projects.~~		[[Category:Guides]]

	~~== Integration with AI Workflow ==~~
	~~1. Scene-Graph Continuity – Keep props, wardrobe, and color schemes consistent across multiple scenes.~~
	~~2. MoCap Compatibility – Align virtual set space with motion capture performance for accurate scale and positioning.~~
	~~3. Style Variations – Quickly switch between visual themes (e.g., cyberpunk, noir, anime) using style sliders.~~

	~~== Export & Import Options ==~~
	~~1. Export Formats: FBX, GLB, USD for use in external 3D tools.~~
	~~2. Import Formats~~: FBX, GLB, Blender project files, and ACT 3 AI ~~preset formats.~~
	~~3. Marketplace Access~~: Buy or sell sets via the ACT 3 AI asset marketplace (future feature).

	~~== Best Practices ==~~
	~~1. Start with a base template from the library and customize instead of building from scratch for faster results.~~
	~~2. Keep asset complexity balanced to optimize render times.~~
	~~3. Use consistent lighting across related scenes to maintain visual continuity.~~
	~~4. Organize sets by project and scene for easy retrieval.~~
