Kodisein was written and designed for one purpose mainly: to be a VJ (VideoJockey) tool. That means: it should be used in discotheques to supplement the music with matching visuals.
This intention had some influence on the kind of visuals you can produce with the program.
Because it's designed to be used live and interactively, there is no timeline or a similar concept integrated, which makes it difficult to tell a story.
But you can design and display abstract scenes (collections of objects in 3d space) and interactively animate them to match the rhythm of the music. You can change in real-time almost every attribute (color, texture, transformation, lighting, etc. ) of the objects in your pre-designed scenes.
Your computer's keyboard serves as the equivalent to the DJ's mixer. Using the mouse enables you to do the visual equivalent to 'scratching'.
