Launch Experience to your LAND in The Sandbox metaverse via the Experience Manager. Create a free Experience Page, locate it on your LAND on the Map, and track analytics. βFAQs: Experience Publishing
Don't own LAND?
You can still create a free Experience Page to share about your project and build your community with the page link!
IMPORTANT NOTE Your asset creations do NOT need to be minted as NFTs for use in your own Experiences:
Share Experiences to the free Game Maker Gallery
You do NOT need LAND to make a free Experience Page to promote your Experience
Publish Experiences to your metaverse LANDs using our integrated tools
A standard scale is used for the sizing of content in most Experiences, with a few exceptions for narrative purposes.
One LAND is 96x96x128 blocks in size.
One Block is 32x32x32 voxels and converts to 1 cubic metre in the real world. A medium human is about 2 blocks, or metres, tall.
One Voxel is the smallest unit of measurement in The Sandbox Game. Voxels are like the atoms that make up everything, giving colour and shape to assets that populate the virtual world.
For scaling and design considerations for specific asset types, explore the Asset Guide.
NO BUILT-IN SCALING
VoxEdit does NOT have a tool to precisely resize an entity before it's exported. There is only a simple tool to double or halve a model's size and detail in all dimensions.
Game Maker does NOT have a tool to change asset size since they are a unified scale.
LOCKED EXPERIENCE SIZE
The size of an Experience can NOT be changed once you've created it. Plan carefully.
Virtual LANDs are valuable limited resources in The Sandbox allowing you to monetise Experiences and reach a larger audience, with potential for famous virtual neighbors. By carefully planning how you'll use your LAND, you may have extra LAND available to launch another Experience.
FORGET REAL-WORLD LIMITATIONS
Focus on what you want to emphasise most.
