MiniMuses Studio Mode Guide: Scene Layering and Prop Alignment

To prevent character models from floating, clipping, or misaligning in MiniMuses studio mode, arrange your background environment before scaling characters, positioning props, and setting layer ordering. Because spatial depth is not calculated automatically in the current release, manual adjustment of coordinates and layer visibility is required to maintain depth accuracy.

Spatial Alignment Workflow

When building a new scene, set up environmental elements before placing character models to maintain accurate scale and placement.

Place background and floor props: Build the room geometry or backdrop first. This establishes the horizon line and floor plane for the scene.
Import and scale character models: Bring in your character assets and adjust their overall scale to match the surrounding environmental props before altering poses.
Adjust positioning coordinates: Use the manual coordinate adjustments to nudge character models downward until their feet rest directly on the floor plane.
Set depth layers: Assign characters and props to distinct front-to-back layers so objects render in the correct visual order.

Managing Prop Interactions and Scaling

Interactive props such as chairs, benches, and handheld objects require precise sizing to prevent models from hovering or sinking into surfaces.

Establish baseline scale: Set your character to its target height before moving it near interactive furniture. Scaling furniture around a finished character pose prevents repeated adjustments.
Orient interaction points: Select the target prop and use the rotation tool to turn its interactive side toward the camera view.
Use snap settings: Enable the "snap to object" feature when available to automatically bind the character model base to a prop surface.
Adjust camera angles: If clothing items or poses slightly clip through prop surfaces, rotate the camera view to obscure the misaligned geometry rather than disrupting character posing.

Layer Organization and Performance Management

Managing layer count and asset complexity keeps scene controls responsive and prevents selection errors.

Task	Studio Mode Action	Operational Goal
Prevent accidental selections	Toggle layer hide/show switches	Locks background props while editing detailed facial features or limb poses.
Bypass active layer limits	Group related assets into shared layers	Consolidates all furniture on one layer and all characters on another.
Maintain mobile performance	Use lower-resolution drafts during testing	Reduces memory overhead before adding high-resolution PNG assets to the final render.
Protect project progress	Save scene files frequently	Prevents progress loss from memory issues when working with high prop counts.
