Import Scene Settings ​

iJewel Playground allows you to import scene settings files to quickly apply preconfigured environments, lighting, post-processing, and more. This is especially useful when you want to reuse a look you've already perfected or share setups between projects.

Supported Formats ​

FormatDescription
.vjsonComplete scene configuration — contains all settings: HDR maps, background, ground, post-processing, tonemapping, camera, and more
.jsonPartial settings — contains only specific settings, for example only ground or only tonemapping

Settings file formats

What's inside a .vjson file?

A .vjson file is a full snapshot of your scene configuration. It includes everything: environment HDR maps, background color/gradient, ground settings, light positions, post-processing effects (bloom, SSAO, SSR, etc.), tonemapping, anti-aliasing, and camera parameters. Importing one instantly recreates the entire look of a scene.

Two Ways to Import Settings ​

There are two ways to use settings files: apply directly to the current scene or save to the preset library for reuse.

Method 1 — Apply Directly to the Current Scene ​

Use this method when you want to quickly load settings into your active scene.

  1. Open your project in Playground
  2. Drag and drop your .vjson or .json file onto the 3D canvas
  3. The settings are applied immediately — you will see the scene update in real-time

TIP

This is the fastest way to switch between different scene looks. Just drag a different .vjson file to instantly change the entire atmosphere of your scene.

Method 2 — Save to Scene Presets Library ​

Use this method when you want to save a .vjson file for reuse across multiple projects. Once added, the preset stays in your library and is available anytime.

  1. Open the left panel and go to the Scene Presets tab:
    Scene PresetsScene Presets
  2. Click the square with a plus icon at the beginning of the preset list
  3. Select the .vjson file you want to upload
  4. The preset will be added to the library with an automatically generated preview of the scene settings
  5. To apply the preset, simply click on its icon
  6. To remove a preset from the library, click the cross icon at the top-right corner of its thumbnail

Premium & Advance

Saving presets to the library requires a paid plan. Premium allows up to 5 saved presets, and Advance allows up to 100. See pricing details for more information.

.vjson vs .json — When to Use Which ​

.vjson.json
ScopeAll scene settings at onceOnly specific settings
Use caseRecreate an entire scene lookAdjust one aspect (e.g., ground only)
ExampleFull studio setup with HDR, lighting, ground, post-processingJust the tonemapping or just the ground shadow
LibraryCan be saved to Scene PresetsGround .json can be saved to Ground tab; other .json — drag & drop only

Ground Presets

A .json file with ground settings can also be saved to the library — use the GroundGround tab on the left panel and click the plus icon, just like with Scene Presets. Other partial .json files (tonemapping, etc.) can only be applied via drag & drop.
