Embedded Player

Overview

The Embedded Player is a runtime environment for validating solutions created or in progress in Scene Composer. The Embedded Player operates as a panel in Scene Composer, allowing you to view the Scene Editor and Embedded Player side by side, and instantly view updates to your Scene Composer solution in the Embedded Player panel.

The Embedded Player consists of two panels: "Player Panel" and "CGI Panel".

The Player Panel is used to display the solution being created in Scene Composer. It allows you to view the nodes created in Scene Composer and their associated actions, such as 2D/3D nodes, animations, behavior effects, and scene transitions using transitions.

The CGI Panel is used to control the display of the Player Panel. The Player Panel UI allows you to easily switch displayed scenes, play animations, zoom in/out, and rotate the display. You can also run simulations of node values, transitions, state machines, and more.

 Value Generator You can simulate view elements changing their values without implementing any logic.
Controls Displays all controls for the selected scene. Selecting a control opens a table with all properties and their values. Changing the value will change it in the application.
Transitions You can trigger transitions.
Data Bindings You can load predefined data binding files to customize the layout and perform simulations with Value Generator.
Statistics Memory consumption statistics are displayed.
State Machine The states of all State Machines are displayed.
Configration Information about the features enabled in the Embedded Player is displayed. 
Snapshots You can create snapshots on the host. The last snapshot created is displayed.
Logging You can also enable or disable logging and set the log level for the main area.
Layout Monitor The relevant areas calculated by the layouter are displayed as an overlay on top of the application rendering.

The Embedded Player has basically the same functions as the Player, so for some explanations in the documentation, please refer to the link to the Player page.

Basic Operation

Embedded Player Playback
  • First, click the [ Player/EmbeddedPlayer ] icon on the toolbar after selecting "Embedded Player".
    • Once the Player Panel and CGI Panel are launched, Embedded Player playback is complete.

    • The Embedded player will stop and the Player panel and CGI Panel will close.

      Using Embedded Player Update allows you to immediately see updates to your solution in the Embedded Player. Also, unlike playback using the Player, there is no need to save your solution before playback.
