# Design mode

## Overview

Design mode is the primary mode in Studio, where the core project development happens. In this mode, scenes are assembled by creating or importing 3D assets, adjusting materials, and adding interactive elements. Lighting, cameras, backgrounds, and effects can also be fine-tuned to enhance the final composition.
