Getting Started with ESEER 3D Live Wallpapers

Choose the editor that matches the source artwork

Annotated Create & Manage screen showing Import, Extended Wallpaper, Start with 1 image, 3D Scene, Simple and Advanced, and Recent Projects. — Create & Manage is the starting point for choosing an editor, importing a project, or reopening recent work.

Starting material / goal	Best starting editor	Why
One finished JPG/PNG/WebP that already contains the composition	Extended Wallpaper	Keeps one base image and adds motion, visual effects, touch behavior, overlays/elements and intro effects
Separate background / subject / foreground images	3D Scene	Builds an ordered layer stack with depth separation and camera motion
Several layer images already prepared	3D Scene	Import picture can add several selected images in one ordered batch
Need a styled text asset first	Asset Creator / Asset Studio	Creates an editable text design that can then be inserted into 3D Scene or Extended Wallpaper
Already have an ESEER package	Import .es	Imports the packaged wallpaper through the ESEER validation/import workflow

Projects, editable sources and wallpaper output

An ESEER creator project is the editable version of your wallpaper. Creating or updating a wallpaper saves the version used in the gallery and as the live wallpaper. Exporting a .es file creates a portable package you can share or import later. Keep the editable project if you want to come back and change individual controls.

The 3D Scene starter scene

A new or reset 3D Scene starts from ESEER’s current six-layer starter scene. It includes the bundled artwork plus preset scene, camera and intro settings. Simple and Advanced edit the same scene; switching modes does not replace or reset your saved work.

Add several 3D Scene images at once

For a new layer, Add layer → Import picture opens Android’s ordered multi-image picker. ESEER preserves the selection order. Replacing an existing layer remains a single-image operation.

When you select two or more images while the original six-layer starter scene is still untouched, ESEER asks how to use them instead of silently replacing starter layers.

Situation	Behavior
Untouched starter + 2 or more selected images	Shows “How should these images be added?” with Add to current scene or Use selected images only
Add to current scene	Keeps the six starter layers and appends the selected images in picker order
Use selected images only	Removes the untouched starter layers and builds the layer list from the selected images only
Starter already edited	Selected images are added to the current scene; the option to replace the untouched starter is no longer shown
One selected image	Adds it to the current scene
One or more selected images exceed the safe layer size	ESEER offers Import & resize; only oversized images are resized
Some files fail while a batch is prepared	Successfully prepared images can still be added; failed images are skipped and reported
Replace Image on an existing layer	Uses the single-image picker so only that layer is replaced

Clear all layers and Reset Scene

The Creator overflow menu includes two different reset actions. Clear all layers removes every layer while keeping scene and camera settings. Reset Scene restores the complete six-layer starter scene.

Action	What is kept / restored
Clear all layers	Removes all visible layers and their layer-specific intro/effect settings; keeps scene and camera settings
After Clear all layers	The blank scene can be saved as project state, but at least one real layer must be added before creating the wallpaper
Reset Scene	Restores the six bundled starter layers plus the starter scene, camera and intro configuration

The common editing workflow

Short walkthrough from Create & Manage into both Extended Wallpaper and 3D Scene, keeping the full live preview visible.

Stage	Reference question to ask
Source	Is this one finished image, multiple depth layers, or an editable Asset Studio element?
Composition	Are layer order, framing and transparent edges correct before motion/effects?
Motion	Which input mode is active, and are edge safety/depth values safe on-device?
Layer behavior	Does a layer need Pinned behavior, a mask, an Action, local Effects, a shadow or delayed unlock visibility?
Intro	Should a layer animate From Start, On Unlock, or only exist during its intro?
Output	Do you need the installed wallpaper, a portable .es file, or both?
