What file formats are supported?
Where can I find the library of 3D items?
Uploading on LearnBrite Storage
Treating 3D items as Scenery (aka dropping items onto other items)
We recommend using the files included in the LearnBrite library as they are already optimized, but if others need to be imported the preferred format is glTF (.glb/.gltf).
If that is not possible, the platform supports a variety of standard formats, including:
The platform includes a library of 3D items, which can be accessed from the edit menu - by clicking on Add content. The content browser allows to search in the highly optimized LearnBrite library or to use 3rd party models from Sketchfab and Google Poly archive.
Note 3D items from Sketchfab and Google Poly archive are created by various authors and items will have varying levels of compatibility but may also lack optimization. Sketchfab does not include its entire library or paid items, it is limited to freely downloadable models under 100k polygons. It is possible using just one Sketchfab item in scene a warned about scene complexity could occur. Use the Status Monitor to check for complex items that might be impacting performance.
There are a number of guides available in the Academy to interface with different 3D model providers:
Each Hyperspace Metaverse account includes hosting space.
You may upload 3D models, images, audio and mp4 files for use in your spaces.
To do so, you can follow this guide: https://hyperspace.mv/academy/storage-files/
Important: When uploading 3D models in GTLF, OBJ, FBX, DAE (Collada) format be sure to also upload the files & folders exported by your 3D tool, such as the .bin file for GTLF and all textures (.jpg / .png).
3D assets can be added to a ChatMapper project so they will be uploaded to the server with a scenario using ChatMapper Package export, which effectively creates a zip file.
There is a limit of upload size of 100MB for a ChatMapper Package |
You might get an error when exporting the package. This will mostly happen in two cases:

If you need a URL for the file, a couple additional steps are required:
You can now add the item in edit mode using this URL.
Dropbox only supports 3D items in a single file. We recommend using the .glb format, as it includes all geometry and textures in one file. glTF files that reference a .bin or texture files will not work, though you can use a service such as https://glb-packer.glitch.me/ to bundle glTF files into a single GLB.

3D items set to Static Scenery are automatically optimized for improved 3D performance as a consequence they do not support On Click interactions.
Setting 3D items as Static Scenery allows

Include one or more animations in gltf or glb files.
The first animation will play automatically when the space loads.
Animations can also be controlled by playing and pausing or switching to alternative animations included in the 3d model file. Contact support to learn more about animation control actions.
