Starting From Scratch Instructions - Main Camera not found

When starting a totally blank project, I guess the Main Camera is missing some special bindings for Needle - since the browser preview shows “No Camera Found” while the instructions don’t mention that

You need to add a camera to your GltfObject hierarchy. Adding the “MainCamera” tag is optional but recommened since it’s otherwise undefined which camera will be used if you have multiple cameras in a gltf

A gltf is marked in the scene hierarchy with the green icon

great!

ok thanks - i’ll check out the example projects from now on. Maybe the github instructions need to mention this tho since as a newb that skipped over everything and followed the step by step that info would be nice to have

Yes you’re right ! Thanks for bringing it up :slightly_smiling_face:

I too find myself just copying the sample scenes (for better or worse) as they just work out the box without any instructions to setup from scratch as there are a lot of components. This has the other issue of me needing to delete all the stuff from the sample scenes we don’t need like networking etc

  1. File > New Scene has a bunch of templates, including one for an empty project
  2. There’s a “Setup Scene” button that I use a lot

or this (the mentioned scene template)

haha options options options

Would be curious @ROBYER1 if there would be a different place / workflow that you would like to use, or how we can explain the existing ones better!

I’ll make a note to document this next time I set a fresh project up
