# Scene
The Scene module is the basic module of ArkGraphics 3D and provides common data types such as **SceneResourceParamters** and **SceneNodeParamters**. It also provides basic methods such as glTF model loading, scene creation, and resource creation.

> **NOTE**
>
> The initial APIs of this module are supported since API version 12. Newly added APIs will be marked with a superscript to indicate their earliest API version.

## Modules to Import
```ts
import { SceneResourceParameters, SceneNodeParameters, SceneResourceFactory, Scene } from '@kit.ArkGraphics3D';
```

## SceneResourceParameters
Describes the scene resource parameters, which are **name** and **uri**. The parameters describe the name of the scene resource and the path of the resource file required in the 3D scene.

**System capability**: SystemCapability.ArkUi.Graphics3D
| Name| Type| Read Only| Optional| Description|
| ---- | ---- | ---- | ---- | ---- |
| name | string | No| No| Name of the scene resource. It is customizable.|
| uri | [Resource](../apis-arkui/arkui-ts/ts-types.md#resource) | No| Yes| Path of the resource file required in the 3D scene. The default value is undefined.|

**Example**
```ts
import { Image, Shader, MaterialType, Material, ShaderMaterial, Animation, Environment, Container, SceneNodeParameters,
  LightType, Light, Camera, SceneResourceParameters, SceneResourceFactory, Scene, Node } from '@kit.ArkGraphics3D';

function createShaderPromise() : Promise<Shader> {
  return new Promise(() => {
    let scene: Promise<Scene> = Scene.load($rawfile("gltf/CubeWithFloor/glTF/AnimatedCube.gltf"));
    scene.then(async (result: Scene) => {
      let sceneFactory: SceneResourceFactory = result.getResourceFactory();

      // Create a variable of the SceneResourceParameters type and use it to create a shader.
      let sceneResourceParameter: SceneResourceParameters = { name: "shaderResource",
        uri: $rawfile("shaders/custom_shader/custom_material_sample.shader") };
      let shader: Promise<Shader> = sceneFactory.createShader(sceneResourceParameter);
      return shader;
    });
  });
}
```

## SceneNodeParameters
Describes the scene node parameters, which are used to provide the name and path in the scene node tree.

**System capability**: SystemCapability.ArkUi.Graphics3D
| Name| Type| Read Only| Optional| Description|
| ---- | ---- | ---- | ---- | ---- |
| name | string | No| No| Name of the scene node. It is customizable. |
| path | string | No| Yes| Path in the scene node tree. It specifies the position of the created camera, light, or node in the scene node tree. Each layer is separated by a slash (/). If no path is provided, the node is set as a child node of the root node. The default value is undefined.|

```ts
import { Image, Shader, MaterialType, Material, ShaderMaterial, Animation, Environment, Container, SceneNodeParameters,
  LightType, Light, Camera, SceneResourceParameters, SceneResourceFactory, Scene, Node } from '@kit.ArkGraphics3D';
