Overview

The Fade Scene Resource allows the author to fade the scene Scene in or out. Fading in will slowly reveal the scene Scene to the userlearner, whereas fading out will cause the scene Scene to go completely dark. Fading in is an excellent way to introduce a new scene Scene or area to the userlearner, whereas fading out is great at concluding eventsEvents.
