¶ Welcome Window
When launching Volinga Suite, the Welcome Window provides quick access to your workflow. It includes a list of recently opened scenes and three primary options:
- New Project: Creates a fresh project with the appropriate folder structure.
- New Scene: Adds an empty scene to an existing project.
- New Asset: Initiates the creation of a new 3D Gaussian Splatting asset from source data.
¶ Creating a New Project
To start a new project, specify a destination folder and project name. Once confirmed, the system automatically initializes a default empty scene called "main.vscene," providing a blank canvas for your work.
¶ Creating a New Scene
The Blank Scene workflow allows you to create a new scene within an existing project. If no project is selected, a new one can be created. After naming the scene, Volinga Suite saves it as a .vscene file within your project structure.
¶ Creating a New Asset
Assets serve as the fundamental building blocks of Volinga Suite. Creating a new asset involves generating an NVOL file, either by training a 3DGS model from media or converting existing 3DGS PLY files into NVOL format. The following section provides a detailed explanation of the asset creation process.
