Assets

To get started, simply head to the "Assets" section, there click the "+" button to initiate the upload process.

Upload the asset of your choice and provide a name and description to easily identify it later. Once completed, your media will be saved within the metaverse, accessible from your dashboard, editor, or any other Onland instance.

Furthermore, you can incorporate your uploaded media into any scene by selecting the asset you've created.

Artwork

If you have artist permissions on our dashboard, you will have the opportunity to save your artwork to your Onland account.

When uploading artworks, you can follow the same process for storing assets and select the 'It's an artwork' checkbox.

The sole distinction lies in the requirement to provide additional details about the artwork for the artwork label. The title and author name are the only mandatory fields, while all other fields are elective.

External Assets​

The External Assets tab provides you with the capability to browse through a selection of public domain artworks within your current metaverse instance.

Public Domain Art

In the Public Domain Art section, you can find fine art prints from the Public Domain Museum Art pieces around the world.

To integrate an artwork into your scene simply click the chosen artwork and it will appear in the scene. You can do different things with this artwork, such as see it as it is in AR by scanning the QR code or customize and edit it to make it uniquely yours.

Adding frames and mediums

By incorporating frames and mediums into the artworks, you can personalize them and then witness their transformation by scanning the QR codes.

To achieve this, simply hover over the artworks and use the right-click of your mouse.

In the 2D view, click on the edit option, and a selection of frames and mediums will appear on the right side of the screen. From there, you can choose and visualize the added frames and mediums in the artwork.

QR Code

Each time you make changes to the artwork, a new QR code will be generated to show the changes you make in AR.

After scanning the provided QR code, you will be redirected to Onland's AR editor, where you can view the artwork. Simply click the position icon on your phone to initiate an augmented reality viewing experience on the real world.
