🧰Upload Assets to Workspaces

Upload assets from VoxEdit to your Workspace so you can prepare them for the Marketplace or discover them in your Game Maker library to build an Experience.

What is Workspaces?

Workspace is a location in your account on The Sandbox website that allows you to manage your assets. You can upload or replace your creations made in VoxEdit and find them in your Game Maker library for building Experiences using this workflow.

Manage Assets

Assets are uploaded by default as "not published." Once an asset is uploaded, from its page you can publish, hide, transfer ownership, or delete it using the dropdown menu beneath the asset image. You can also edit all of the custom information you created, which is noted in the step-by-step instructions below.

1. Upload from VoxEdit

Before you begin, log in to your into VoxEdit using the same login credentials for your account. With the asset you want to upload open:

1. Open the File menu and click Upload to Workspace. For an animated asset, you can choose an animation to display and move the arrowhead to the right time for a pose you want displayed in your asset's thumbnail. Multiple thumbnail options from different directions will be available to choose from. Select the thumbnail you want to display on your asset's page, select the default animation from the dropdown menu, and click Export. This will open a tab in your browser directly on The Sandbox website.

   

2. New or Replace

2. Select New Asset or Replace Existing Asset.

   

   If you choose Replace Existing Asset: A list of assets you have already uploaded to your Workspace will appear. This list is filtered by default to display unpublished assets. Select an asset to replace by clicking the radio button on the left of its thumbnail, which becomes green. Then click Replace.

   

3. Create Search Criteria
