1. Create Your First Projectโ€‹

When starting a new project in XR Creator Studio, you can either:

  2. Click โ€œCreateโ€ to enter the editor.

2. Upload 2D Elements and 3D Modelsโ€‹

You can add 3D objects and other elements to your project using:

  • Your Own 3D Models (.GLB, .GLTF, .OBJ files), videos, images, and .mp3 files.

  • A Ground Plane element.
