On this page you will learn how to write and use Annotations in an effective manner.
Annotations are a great way to document your scene, you can leave notes either attached to Ventuz nodes or put them directly into the Hierarchy Editor. It is also possible to link to certain bookmarks, websites and so on.
To edit a Annotation double click the created yellow text box. Annotations can be used differently depending on where you put them. In the Hierarchy Editor for example it is possible to have Annotations not only attached to nodes but also have them floating freely on the position you choose. To add a Annotation click here:
Or hold the on any node in either the Hierarchy Editor or Content Editor and click here:
In the Content Editor those can only be attached to nodes. The text inside the Annotations is HTML based which means you can use a certain syntax with some tags we enabled. This enables things like color changes of the text or linking to certain points in the scene via bookmarks as well as many other things which you will learn in the following part.
1. Free floating Annotations
2. Annotations linked to a node
