+### 🚀 Advanced Usage: Building Complex Scenes & Animations
+
+For more complex projects, you can combine multiple meshes and create camera animations. The `ph_renderformer_advanced_01.json` workflow demonstrates this by building a scene with several objects and animating the camera.

+1.  **Compose Your Scene**: Instead of using one large model, you can load multiple `RenderFormer Mesh Loader` nodes for different parts of your scene (e.g., characters, props, background elements).
+2.  **Combine Meshes**: Use one or more `RenderFormer Mesh Combine` nodes to merge all your individual meshes into a single `MESH` output. This creates a clean, organized workflow and makes it easy to manage complex scenes.
+3.  **Animate the Camera**:
+    *   Define the starting view with a `RenderFormer Camera` node.
+    *   Connect its `CAMERA` output to the `start_camera` input of a `RenderFormer Camera Target` node.
+    *   In the `Camera Target` node, define the end position, look-at point, and FOV for your animation, along with the total number of frames. This generates a `CAMERA_SEQUENCE`.
+4.  **Build the Scene Sequence**: Connect your combined `MESH`, the `CAMERA_SEQUENCE`, and your `LIGHTING` to the `RenderFormer Scene Builder`. It will automatically create a sequence of scenes, one for each frame of the animation.
+5.  **Render and Save**:
+    *   The `RenderFormer Sampler` will receive the `SCENE_SEQUENCE` and render all frames, outputting them as an `IMAGES` batch.
+    *   Connect this batch to a `Create Video` node (or another video-handling node) and then to a `Save Video` node to get your final animation file.
