Sharing a scene in the 3D Demo with SSH

It is possible to save and load a whole scene from the 3D Demo with the help of SSH. It is mainly meant to help developers who work far from each other to easily show content to another, and this page will help you use it.

Configuring the demo

To be able to use ssh, some information must be provided in the preferences of the demo. In this tutorial, it is expected that you already know ssh and we will only focus on the demo part :

• Open the Preferences

• Go to Network Settings

• Enter your ssh information and validate.

ATTENTION: the ssh2 format is not supported. More specifically, for windows users, Puttygen exports keys to the SSH2 format for OpenSSH, which is not supported by libssh (at least for version 0.9.5).

Saving a scene to a server

Once your scene is ready, to save it with ssh, do as follows:

• Go to the File menu and click on Save the Scene as a Script File...
