Combine and align captures

One capture can show the wider setting while another shows a room or close-up in more detail. Twinbly's Scene splats tools let you place supported captures together, align them, adjust their appearance and publish an explorable scene.

Scene composition is a beta workflow. Availability depends on the scene and supported editor controls; not every capture or survey view supports the same composition tools.

When combining captures helps

• Place a detailed interior inside an exterior view of a building.
• Add a closer capture of an artwork or object to a larger room.
• Bring a separate capture of an upstairs area into a property overview.
• Let someone explore the setting first, then enter a more detailed part.

Adding a capture does not automatically make it align. Start with finished captures in your library and identify clear features that both captures show.

Add and place a capture

Open the main scene in the editor. Where available, use Add splat to scene in the Stage controls to choose another library capture. Wait for it to load and review its position.

The main capture and inserted captures are separate layers. Keep track of which one you are changing, especially when adjusting placement, color or clipping. Save after applying the intended changes.

Align by matching points

Use Align by matching points for a supported inserted capture. Pick the same recognizable feature in both views, then set the point. Choose features spread across the overlap instead of several almost-identical points close together.

Three well-spaced matches are the normal starting point. Two matches can be useful when both captures are already upright. Preview the fit, orbit around the overlap and replace a poor match if needed. Apply alignment keeps the proposed placement; Cancel restores it. Save the scene afterward.

Good matches might be window corners, a doorway or a distinct structural detail. Avoid moving objects or a vague patch of wall. Levelling a tilted capture first can help, but levelling alone does not align two captures.

Match appearance and focus

Per-layer exposure and color controls can reduce an obvious brightness or color difference. They do not correct a bad geometric alignment, so inspect the fit before trying to hide a seam with grading.

Zones can focus or clip supported layers. Use them deliberately and check the result from several angles. An attractive view from one position does not guarantee that the overlap looks right everywhere.

Reveal an interior when visitors enter

For supported inserted scenes, Reveal on enter allows a detail or interior to remain hidden until a visitor enters its configured volume. The visitor can encounter a Step inside control as they approach.

This is useful when an aerial overview and an interior would otherwise compete visually. Define the entry region carefully, then check both entry and exit in the published viewer. It requires the inserted capture and its configuration; it does not generate a missing interior.

Check before publishing

Review every layer, the initial view, visitor movement and any reveal behavior. Larger compositions can require more memory, so inspect the result on the devices your audience will use. Some views or capture types have different limits.

Publishing the composition creates a viewing experience. It is not a promise that every layer has been merged into one downloadable file. Gifting a combined scene is also a separate workflow with additional capacity and handoff checks.
