2.1) Overview
The engine provides an integrated 3D development environment focused on real-time editing and iteration. The GUI is designed to centralize scene creation, asset management, scripting, rendering, and debugging within a single workflow.
Its main goal is to allow developers and designers to build, modify, and test scenes interactively, reducing iteration time while maintaining full control over rendering, logic, and performance.
If the installation was successful, running Brakeza3D will start it with an empty scene using the default settings:
Docking system
Brakeza3D integrates ImGui’s docking system to provide full customization of the workspace. You can personalize the editor’s layout and appearance, although we recommend first becoming familiar with the default configuration, which will be used throughout this documentation.

With few exceptions, all windows in Brakeza3D are dockable, allowing you to drag and place them anywhere you like using the mouse.

Toolbar
The quick access bar provides shortcuts to the most frequently used options, which are also accessible through the menus.
Hover the mouse over each button to see a brief description of its function.
Render view
The window itself represents the main rendering area. The GUI is always displayed on top of it. Press F4 to hide or show the GUI.

Moving around the scene
You can navigate the scene using the keyboard arrows: ← → ↑ ↓. Hold Shift while using the arrows to move aligned with the main axes.
Hold down the Right Mouse Button while moving the mouse to rotate the camera as if in a first-person game. You can click on objects in the scene to select them using the Left Mouse Button.
