Supported File Types:

3D Asset File Types: FBX, OBJ, & GLTF

Performance Guidelines

Recommended World File Size: Under 70mb
- Why? → the download time will increase as the file size increases, meaning longer load times for your users
- Given that, we support up to 1gb but be aware the download time increases as the file size increases
Recommended Library Asset File Size: Under 50mb
- Why? → the download time will increase as the file size increases, meaning longer load times for your users
- Given that, we support up to 1gb but be aware the download time increases as the file size increases
Recommended Scene or Asset Poly count: Under 1 million vertices or triangles
- Why? → GPU can only handle so much processing, too high of a poly count will result in low / inconsistent framerate, lag, and a poor user experience

How to Upload 3D Assets directly to the Agora World App:

Step By Step: How to Upload 3D Assets:

Open the Agora World application in your web browser (ALPHA) or download it here and sign in to your account or sign up if you don’t yet have one.
Upload 3D Assets from the Home Page
1. In the top right corner of the home page, you will see an Upload button. Click it and a dropdown menu will appear. Select “2D/3D Art Assets”.
2. Once selected, a window will pop up for you to upload your 2D or 3D content. Click the box and it will open up your file window to select from and upload.
  
  <aside> 📌 NOTE: When selecting 3D assets, we currently support:
  1. 3D File Formats: FBX, OBJ, GLTF (we recommend uploading these as a .ZIP) </aside>
  <aside> 📌 NOTE 2: File size is vital to remember. The bigger the file you download and use, the more your user has to download in order to access your experience, meaning longer download times! If you need help optimizing files, we have multiple partners that can help. Pretty soon, they'll be offered right inside of our editor!

3. Select your file, you’ll see a thumbnail pop up of your asset, and click “Upload” to add it to your library
4. That’s it! You will now be able to use that while creating or editing an experience
Upload 3D Assets from Inside an Experience (’Edit in World’)

3. Select the plugin package "Agora World Core".
4. For 3D content and media, choose the "3D Slot" asset and place it where you want it to go! These slots are interchangeable, meaning once you put 3D content here, you can replace it with other media very easily.
5. Once you put the 3D Slot down (aka unselect it), select it again by clicking on it so the Asset Menu opens on the right side of your screen. Just like all other assets, you can add a name, title (public facing) and description (public facing) as well as move, duplicate, go to, change color, and delete it from this menu.
6. So how do you upload or select your 3D assets from your library? Click on "Select Media".
  1. You will see a new window pop up of your 3D Library - any and all assets you’ve already uploaded to Agora World. In the top left, you will see an “Upload Files” button to upload additional 3D content to your library.
7. Once you select Upload Files, a window will pop up for you to upload your 3D content. Click the box and it will open up your file window to select from and upload.

9. Once a 3D asset is chosen, you can do all of the things you could for other assets to these! Move, scale, rotate, change its color, duplicate, and more.
