Combine objects

Overview

All objects in DISE can be combined together. A combined object will display one object inside the other by using one of the objects as a mask for the other. This allows you to for instance create a text with a video showing inside. By default, some properties will not be applied to merged objects, such as shadow and transparency - selecting the object, these features are grayed out in the Object Properties.
