6. Assign the visual source to an element in the 3D Scene by clicking '+ Add' in the top-left corner to open the Element Browser.

8. Click the '+' icon in the Texture box of the Inspector on the right-hand side and select your second Webcam or Image from the dropdown.
💡 On other elements, "Texture" can have another name such as "Visual Source", "Channel" or "Base"
9. Position the Surface element using the X, Y, and Z properties in the Move section. Adjust by typing the desired number, dragging on the “X”, “Y,” or “Z,” or by dragging the element directly on the 3D view.
