# The Scene

The scene is somewhat like the stage on which all the meshes, cameras, and lights are placed so they can be viewed. Of course, a good scene includes more than meshes, cameras, and lights; for example, it may also include a user interface. There are also special effects that can make the environment more realistic. If you want to overlap two or more scenes, that is possible as well. 

If you want to build a scene with a minimum of code, fast build is for you. 

What else might you expect of your scene? You might expect to be able to

* have the scene react to clicks and touches;
* have your own design displayed when your scene is loading;
* optimise your scene to maintain a good speed;
* output images of particular views of your scene.
