Welcome to the documentation for Wonder Studio's "Blender Scene" feature. Here, you'll find textures for free characters that are provided on the Wonder Studio platform, as well as an overview and tutorials on how to use the Blender Scene that you downloaded from the platform.
⚠️ Blender files downloaded from the Wonder Studio platform will not contain any character texture files. Texture files will have to be reloaded manually. For more information on how to reload textures in Blender, see Reload Textures in Blender section.

Download a texture set for a character and unzip it.
In Blender, go to File > External Data > Find Missing Files and navigate to the folder that contains the extracted textures.
Click Find Missing Files and wait for the Blender to load images.
Due to how the Find Missing Files feature works, Blender may display warning messages related to various missing links and/or paths. Please double-check if the textures loaded successfully by rendering a test shot. If textures did load successfully please ignore these warning messages.
Please ensure your Viewport Render mode is not set to Material Preview or Render while using the Find Missing Files feature. These modes can prolong the process since they will immediately start rendering the character with newly added textures.

To add the clean plate that you downloaded from the platform locate the CleanPlate node in the Compositor.
Under the Node tab on the right side find the Properties section, expand it, and click the Open button.
Navigate to the Clean Plate download location, select all images in the folder, and click on Open Image.
Under Properties section make sure that the Start Frame value is set to the start frame of the scene (usually 0).
You can find the Start Frame value of the scene in the timeline or under the Frame Range section in the Output Properties tab.

In Compositor, you'll be able to locate a group of nodes to handle your own personalized roto pass for each individual character.
In the example provided, there are two characters in the scene. On the left side, you can see two Image nodes that require roto passes for each character. Alternatively, these nodes can be left empty.
FusedRoto pass is used to fix potential problems with Cryptomatting. Fused roto needs to be a mask that consists of all of the individual roto masks combined (if they exist).
Please note that these nodes are not required and can be left blank.
