 I have have to credit my friend and colleague, Vypac Voeur for bringing the topic of Scene Assembly to my attention during our time on Albert (short TV special). Vypac has been the inspiration of many tools and techniques in my 3D art journey. b. Assembly References II. Working with Scene Assembly

This scene is only for examples of load time, instancing would be the better choice for something like the above when it comes to rendering. ← Previous a. Assembly Definitions

From Autodesks documentation, "a scene built with Scene Assembly lets you swap multiple representations of a production asset. When your task requires fast loading and optimal playback, use a Cache representation of an asset. When a scene requires high-resolution geometry for rendering, use a Scene representation. This workflow is extendable to large hierarchies of production assets containing massive data sets, such as a complete city layouts. When working with complex assemblies, you still have quick access to all the representations of individual objects."

In the TV series, Adventures in Wonderpark we were dealing with a full-scale theme park. Scene Assembly made it possible that the entire theme park could load into viewport in approximately 2 minutes utilizing the Gpu Cache representations.

This tutorial will cover the basics of how to use Scene Assembly. Maya Scene Assembly Tutorial Preface:
