How To Create

How to create in Somnium Space

There is many ways to Create in Somnium Space, from beginner to advanced creator.

Avatars:

  • Ownership is not a prerequisite for creation.
  • Craft stunning avatars with features like animations, dynamic bones, and custom shaders.
  • Utilize the game editor “Unity 3D” for avatar creation.

PC/VR Parcel:

  • To embark on this creative journey, owning a “Parcel” is essential.
  • Showcase 3D assets, videos, images, and even 360-degree photographs.
  • For browsing, a 3D web-browser is at your disposal, delivering most standard browser capabilities.
  • Two creation tools are available: the built-in builder for simplicity and “Unity 3D” for more advanced creations.

Web Parcel:

  • Parcel ownership is again mandatory.
  • A Web Parcel is derived from your PC/VR parcel, and the majority of your content will be mirrored.
  • Note: Unity 3D assets aren’t compatible with the web. However, importing GLTF assets is feasible.

Web World (beta):

  • Only a “Parcel” is required (PC/VR World ownership isn’t necessary).
  • This platform enables dynamic content creation optimized for web browsers.
  • “Play Canvas” is the game editor of choice for Web World.

PC/VR World:

  • Ownership of both a “Parcel” and a “PC/VR World” is necessary.
  • Envision these worlds as fully customizable games, minus concerns over avatars, interactions, UI, and multiplayer features.
  • Stick to the approved Unity add-ons.
  • Dive into dynamic content creation in a high-performance setting, ranging from videos, 3D assets, animations, to games.
  • Again, “Unity 3D” is your singular creation tool for this venture.
