+Have a look at this folder. This folder should hold several text files as well as an index.txt file and a subfolder. Opening this subfolder leads to more subfolders, with the single assets at the end. These assets are used later to create a rendering.
+==== Output ====
+After terminating the IG.GFX.PhotoCreator process a bundle of files is provided.
+Usually the structure looks similar to this:
+<code>
+-Photos
+    -Domain
+        -Subdomain
+            + TexturesFolder.tex
+            + AssetFolder.geo
+    -test01-scene.json
+    -test01-env.json
+    -test02-scene.json
+    -test02-env.json
+</code>
+Domain, Subdomain, TexturesFolder.tex and AssetFolder.geo hold the downloaded assets. All scene descriptions lay inside the Photos folder.
+  * __test01-scene.json__ holds the scene description that is needed for renderings
+  * __test01-env.json__ is holding additional rendersettings that were processed from the input.
+Make sure the scene and the environment file have the same prefix. E.g. test01.
