The Many Faces of SceneCaster

You know: when this app. was originally created by pre-historic cavemen rearranging stones on a dirt floor, it was intended to help people plan their spaces better. When we released SceneCaster on an unsuspecting facebook community late last year, we suspected we'd get a lot of users who would focus on interior design & layout. It's really pleasantly surprising however, to find that some of our most popular and highly-rated scenes have been anything but! They're more like this:

Digital Art - These are the SC's who are creating an assembly of objects just for the sake of creating a visually appealing vignette. I'm really impressed by these people, because they're treating SC just like any other creative tool, like a paintbrush.



Storytelling - They say every picture tells a story, but these SC's are taking it to a new level by creating scenes that are either linked together to tell a story, or represent a pivotal moment in a narrative.



Personal Expression - These SC's are using our app. almost as a scrapbook of their lives & experiences. They're re-creating the things that are relevant or important to them at this moment and giving us a glimpse inside.



3D Greetings Hallmark may be interested to find their sales are slipping because resourceful SC's are creating personalized greetings for family and friends.



Dreamscapes & Fantasy Where we've left the realm of space planning entirely and are creating fantastical flights of fancy where there are no such things as scale or gravity. These are completely original worlds.



Fun & Games The SC's who are creating their own games or visual jokes.



Design - the tried and true. They're still out there and they're doing some amazing stuff. SC is a great way of working out layout and color schemes - I've even planned the entire construction of a house on it.



So there it is - one tool, dozens of uses!
