Combine 3DEXCITE Marketing Experience Artist and 3DEXCITE Marketing Experience Scripter roles to create flexible experiences for 3DEXCITE Marketing Experience Reviewer that will evolve in a generative environment.

The abilities offered by the Actor Templates are multiple:

1) Facilitate Experience Design

• Marketing Experience Artist will be able to centralize creation and modification of numerous identical actors

• Marketing Experience Artist will be able to share smart actors between experiences

2) Allow Creation of Modular Experiences

• Marketing Experience Scripter will be able to imagine evolutionary experiences at runtime, by scripting generative scene composed of numerous actors, or according to Marketing Experience Reviewer actions.

Preamble
