The Content Browser window is Renderpeople Studio’s main area. Within this area you will be able to search, filter, purchase and most importantly import 3D People models into your scene. The Content Browser window consists of several different areas, each of them explained below:

1. Content Area
   This Content Area is showing 3D People. You can browse through and select specific items and interact with them. Which models are being shown is depending on the selected section(#4), your active filters(#2) and your current display settings(#6).
2. Product Filters
   All Renderpeople 3D People have been tagged and categorized to allow a quick and easy workflow when you need to find a particular model out of hundreds. In the Product Filters area you can apply filters for given categories or enter individual search terms to look for specific keywords (e.g. ‘bag’, ‘phone’, ‘suit’, ‘family’). All set filters and search terms will apply on the results that you see in the Content Area.

   The Product Filters area can be folded in and out by klicking on the vertical bar tagged with ‘PRODUCT FILTER’.

3. Product Details
