The Render Window is the main way we'll be interfacing with the game for this tutorial. Right now it is an empty pane, but once we load a cell, this is where the 3D visuals of the space will appear and can be worked with. | The Render Window is the main way we'll be interfacing with the game for this tutorial.

{{Template:InDepth|'''Base Object vs Reference''' It's important for users to understand the difference between a base object and a reference. Whenever you place an object in the world, you are creating an instance - or reference - to that base object. For example, if we drag a "TrollFrost" into the world and modify that reference, or "ref", our changes will only affect this specific Troll. If we make changes directly to the TrollFrost base object, however, all Trolls will be affected, including those already created. For this reason, modders will usually want to avoid modifying pre-existing base objects that other mods may rely upon.}} | |||
