Fields

Target Camera Position

Fields

Curator ID

Fields

Min Distance

Add the Quest Counter Clickable component to counters the user must click on to collect.

Counter ID

Enter an ID of your own creation to the Counter ID field and add the same ID to the Counter ID field of the Counter quest step or the Startable Timed Counter component.

This allows you to rez and and derez items in your scene during specified quest steps.

Configurable parameters:

• QuestID

• MinStep

This is a sub component for Slider Vehicle.

For further info, check .

This will require the user to play a specific gesture before the quest moves on.

ItemID

The item ID for a specific gesture you need played for it to succeed. You can get this from the virtual goods component attached to the gesture once it has been submitted, or from the item list in your account at curator.sine.space

Any

Tick this if you want playing any gesture to complete the quest step.

Min Participants

Defines the minimum number of gesture participants required to complete the step. So, for instance, you can set to 2 and tick Any to require the user to do any two person gesture with another user.

This requires the user to have a specific item in their inventory before the quest continues.

They do not need to use the item; they just need to have it in their inventory.

Item ID

Put the ID of the item here. You can identify the ID from the virtual goods component attached to the gesture once it has been submitted, or from the item list in your account at curator.sine.space

This requires the user to visit a specific region for the quest to continue.

Background ID

Put the region ID in this field to specify where the user needs to go.

This requires the user to sit on a specific furniture item.

Target Object

Add the SeatImproved component to any game object in your scene and then drag that game object into the Target Object field. Remember this item can also be animated so you could for instance use this step to fly someone from one part of your region to another.

The step will complete as soon as the user sits so you may want to make the next step not initiate automatically but require the user to click another Quest NPC object to continue, if sitting initiates a sequence that you want to play out before the next step launches.

Using this component(with Slider Physics), you can create a silder-type vehicle(for example, a sledge).

The core parts is same as the Module vehicle so you can check here for thouse value settings.

The slider physics decide how the vehicle moves exactly.

This is an empty function, please remove or hide the page.

This is the component which uses for respawn a vehicle, as you use your vehicle item in inventory.

VehicleTemplateArray can spawn some random cars(need test!).

If you want to spawn a specfied car, fill its item ID(get it from the Crutor page) in Unique ID slot.

You can also add some sound effect for denied noise and spawn noise.

To set up your scene in Unity for the audio reactive components, you need to first either drag an audio file from your PC into the project window, and then into the hierarchy, or for music streams, you need to (info).

Contents

Audio Reactive Transform

This component can be attached to the 3D object you want to react to the music and then used to transform the 3D object in time to the audio.

You can transform the object within the component, so you can set the object to scale, rotate or move in certain directions.

To add this component to your object, select the object in your hierarchy and under the Inspector window on the right, click on 'Add component'. Search for audio reactive and choose 'Audio Reactive Transform'.

Band Min and Band Max

There are different types of bands for the different frequencies in audio. For example, if you want the object to move to only the bass of the audio, you will need to set the band min slider to 0, and the band max to 1. You can play around with the different values until it matches the audio band you want the object to move to.

BPM Window

The BPM Window Limit defines how many seconds to analyse for determining the BPM. So, for example, if you set this to 3, it will listen to the last 3 seconds, if you set it to 10, it will listen to the last 10 seconds.

Limit Increase/Decrease

The limit increase/decrease determines how quickly the values can change. If you have fast paced music and want the object you have to react faster to the audio, you can change the limit increase/decrease to 10,000+ to make the object move very quickly in time to the audio.

Min Value/Max Value

These determine how quick the reactions are, so you might want to set these values to your liking.

Mode

This sets the mode to BPM or Band.

Position

This will change the objects position when checked. You can set how far the object will move and in which direction on the Z,Y and X axis in time to the audio.

Rotation

This will change the direction in which the object is rotated when checked. Again, this will set which way the object will rotate on the Z,Y and X axis in time to the audio.

Scale

This will change the size/scale of the object when checked. The object can be scaled in any direction on the Z,Y and x axis separately, or you can set the same value in all of the axis's to make the object scale uniformly.

Audio Reactive Lighting

Audio reactive lighting will enable lighting to react to the audio you choose. Audio reactive lighting will work with lights which don't need to be baked, such as spot lights, directional lights and point lights.

To add the audio reactive lighting to your light, click on the light you want to use in your hierarchy, and under the Inspector window, click on 'Add Component'. Search for audio reactive and choose 'Audio Reactive Light'.

Band Min and Band Max

There are different types of bands for the different frequencies in audio. For example, if you want the object to move to only the bass of the audio, you will need to set the band min slider to 0, and the band max to 1. You can play around with the different values until it matches the audio band you want the object to move to.

BPM Window

The BPM Window Limit defines how many seconds to analyse for determining the BPM. So, for example, if you set this to 3, it will listen to the last 3 seconds, if you set it to 10, it will listen to the last 10 seconds.

Limit Increase/Decrease

The limit increase/decrease determines how quickly the values can change. If you have fast paced music and want the object you have to react faster to the audio, you can change the limit increase/decrease to 10,000+ to make the object move very quickly in time to the audio.

Min Value/Max Value

These determine how quick the reactions are, so you might want to set these values to your liking. When working with lighting, you might want to lower these values so the lighting colors blend quickly together.

For example, setting the min value to 0, and the max value to 0.1, will mean that lights react quickly to the audio and they also blend and change colors faster.

Mode

This sets the mode to BPM or Band.

Range

When range is checked, this will change the distance range of the light. For example, set the min range to 1 and max to 5 for a small circle of light.

Animate Color

When this is checked, this will enable the light to blend the min color and max color you have chosen.

Intensity

This will change the intensity of the light. The lower the values, the dimmer the light will be, and the higher the values are, the brighter the light will be.

Audio Reactive Animation

Audio reactive animation will enable a 3d object of your choice to move to audio.

This component has a bit more to it than the other audio reactive components, but it is still a simple process to set up.

Click on your object in the hierarchy, and under the Inspector window, click on ‘Add Component’ and search for ‘Audio’ then choose ‘Audio Reactive Animation’.

When this is done, click on ‘Window’ at the top of Unity. On the drop-down menu, choose ‘Animation’. This will add an Animation tab at the bottom of the screen.

Click on ‘Create’ in the animation tab, and when the Explorer opens, save the animation anywhere you want to save it.

Now in the Animations tab, click on ‘Add property’. This will open up a menu with three options; Transform, Mesh Renderer and Box Collider. For audio reactive objects, the best option to choose are Transform and Mesh renderer.

Transform

Transform has more options on the drop down menu. To expand Transform, click on the arrow next to Transform. You will see three more options.

Position

This will allow you to change the position of the object along the X,Y and Z axis.

Scale

This will scale the object along the X,Y or Z axis, but also let you scale uniformly.

Rotation

This will rotate the object.

Mesh Renderer

Mesh renderer is used for changing the object’s color or material. When you click on the arrow next to mesh renderer, this will show a lot of options, but they are all related to materials and color.

Choose from either one of the transform options or mesh renderer options, and then click on the ‘+’ sign next to the option.

You can add more than one transform option or mesh renderer option to make the animation more complex.

I have chosen to scale to my object, so I clicked on the plus sign, and two diamond shapes will now show in the animations tab on the timeline. These diamonds are key frames for the animation. The timeline is measured in frames and in seconds.

Click on the key frame at the beginning of the timeline, and you will that it highlights blue. To make sure that the scale values you put in show up in your animations, put the scrubber (red line) over the key frame.

There is another key frame at the end of the timeline. Drag the scrubber to this key frame, and then change the values of scale again. I am changing mine to 2,2,2.

If you want to add more keys, move the scrubber to the position on the timeline where you want to add it, and right click near the scrubber and choose ‘Add Key’.

The more keys you add, the more precise the movements will be.

Here is my finished timeline.

I have just made a very simple scale transition from 1,1,1 at the beginning to 2,2,2 at the end.

Making the Animation work with Audio

To make the animation work with the audio, you now need to click on ‘Window’ at the top of Unity and choose ‘Animator’.

When the Animator window is open, it will look like this, with the name of your object and the animation type in an orange box.

Click on your animation in the orange box. On the left hand side, you will see ‘Layers’ and ‘Parameters’.

Click on Parameters if it isn’t already selected, and then click on the ‘+’ sign underneath.

When menu appears, choose ‘Float’. This will show a ‘New Float’ directly underneath the plus sign.

Rename this float ‘Audio’, exactly as it is shown here, with a capital A.

Now, click on the orange box again, and in the Inspector window, you will see these settings.

You can change the speed of the animation if you want it to be faster or slower, but for this example I am keeping mine on the default of 1.

In the Multiplier setting, click on Parameter next to it, and this should automatically choose ‘Audio’.

The animation is set up to work with the Audio!

Go back down to your Animation tab, and un-check the record button, then click on your Scene tab.

Now you can click on ‘Play’ and see if the Animation is working with the Audio.

You will need to select the band you want the object to react to in the Audio Reactive Animation component in the Inspector window.

You can adjust the settings in the Audio Reactive Animation component until you are happy with the result.

Audio Reactive Material

Note: Audio Reactive Material is working in the experimental editor pack

Fields

Trigger Time

Sets the trigger time.

Usage

It will call the snapshot function at the trigger time you set here after start the effect.

The snapshot window is the one as usual, where you can make the snapshot as your profile photo, or upload it to your library or other supported site.

This can be used to open/close doors, lights and all the things you need to activate with a click.

Click the add sign then drag the item want to activate into the slot, then choose an action you need.

The Network options define whether the action will be synchronized with other users in the region.

If you want to control an object which has already got a network ID(for example, defines in Room Floor component), you should use that ID and pick "Override Network ID" to avoid conflicts.

Here is an example to create an object with Open/Close animations:

The component supports play 2 animation like this, to realize a door open/close by clicking it.

Note: you should untick the Loop Time checkbox for each animation or it will cause problems.

Fields

This step will teleport the user to a specific location in the same region as the quest.

Target

Drag any game object in your scene into the target field to teleport the user to that location.

To ensure they do not arrive on top of a tree or similar, it usually makes sense to create an empty game object exactly where you want them to arrive.

Delay

Allows you to add a time delay before the teleportation. A small delay (1 second) is recommended to ensure all actions as part of the prior step have time to complete. A longer delay might for instance be used in conjunction with a specific gesture playing in the prior step.

Shuffle Loading

Check to randomize the list.

This allows you to stream music in your region from URLs.

Create an empty object in your scene which will be in your region.

Click on the object in the hierarchy and then click on Add Component under the Inspector window. Search for Streaming Background Music.

This will add the component to your object. You will see the component has settings called URLS and Shuffle loading.

If you click on the drop down arrow next to URLS, you will see it has a Size option. If you have 3 URLs of songs you want to add to you region, you would enter the number 3 in this size option, press Enter, and three element boxes will appear. You then add the URLs into these boxes. If you have ten, you would add the number 10 and so on.

Shuffle loading unchecked will play the songs in the order you have added the URLs in the URLs settings, and checking it will shuffle the tracks.

Usage

Fill the Target time in seconds if you want the timer to stop by certain time. It is necessary if you choose "count down" type.

Now there are 3 format: HHMMSS is stand for hours:minutes:seconds, MMSS means minutes:seconds, and the last is only display seconds.

If you need to display the fraction after seconds, pick "Show fraction" option.

You can add Events here, and trigger them when:

1. Pick the option "Call Event When Timer End", the events will be fired when the timer reaches the Target time(or decrease to 0 from the Target time if count down);

2. Fire the events once in a delay after the timer start if the value here is above zero;

3. Fire the events every certain time by the value set if it is above zero;

All these method can be used together, which means you can trigger the event after a short while for the first time, then repeat it periodically, and trigger it last time when the timer reaches the preset end.

The component offer a default output method, so you can directly drag a game object with Text Component into the slot, the timer will display in that Text Label. But if you want to construct your own way for output, call the function OutputByFormat(), which returns the string of current value of timer.

To start/pause the timer by event, change the bool value of timeRunning, where true start the timer and false pause it.

To stop and reset the timer, call the function of ResetTimer(), it will set the timer back to the initial state you set.

Fields

Rigid Body The rigid body of the vehicle.

Meter The UI text element.

Use Imperial Units What it says.

Animator Use a custom animator( for example an animation moving a speed dials arm)

Animator Float Variable Name A float variable will be fed in, in meters per second.

Usage

create a UI Text Component under your vehicle object, and another empty game object with this speedometer component.

Attach the rigidbody of the vehicle and the UI Text component to the slots of the speedometer, you can leave the rest option as it was, or fill it on your own request. Change the position and style of the UI Text as a normal UI element as you wish. And, remember, disabled the Canvas object at the beginning, and activate it by the events function as I present above.

A simple example here, is a meter with blue text in the right-bottom corner:

Fields

Location

the location the target transform will be moved to.

Rotation

the rotation the target transform will be moved to.

Target

the transform you want to move.

Usage

This component needs to be triggered by another components event, “MoveObject.Fire”.

For example, the image below uses a proximity activator to trigger the event.

Sample

Place the sample in the scene and walk into the proximity activator to trigger the move object component.

Fields

Density

represents the density of the object that is being simulated, which is used to calculate the volume and mass of the object. This parameter is important for the buoyancy simulation because it determines how much the object will displace the water around it.

SlicesPerAxis

represents the number of slices that the object will be divided into along each of its three axes to create a grid of voxels. This grid is used to simulate the buoyancy of the object by calculating the displacement of the voxels in response to the physics simulation. A higher number of slices will result in a more detailed and accurate simulation, but it will also require more computational resources to run.

IsConcave

(mesh colliders only) determines whether or not the generated voxels will be allowed to create concave shapes. Concave shapes can complicate the buoyancy simulation and may require more computational resources to simulate accurately. If IsConcave is set to true, the buoyancy simulation will be more accurate but may be slower to compute.

VoxelsLimit

sets a maximum for the number of voxels used in buoyancy simulation. If the number of voxels in the object exceeds this limit, the script will stop generating additional voxels and will instead use the existing voxels to simulate buoyancy. This is done to prevent the simulation from becoming too computationally expensive and to ensure that it runs smoothly in real-time.

In general, adjusting these parameters requires a trade-off between accuracy and performance, and the optimal values will depend on the specific requirements of the buoyancy simulation and the available computational resources.

Gravity

defines effective gravity.

Fields

Start Position

set the custom starting position of the NPC

Target Position

Sets the target positon of the NPC

Wander

sets the NPC to wander in random direction

Max Wander Distance

Sets the maximum wandering distance

Rotation SpeedRotation Speed

sets the rotation speed of the NPC

Move Speed

Sets the movement speed of the NPC

Usage

Refer to see how to create NPC, once created attach wandering NPCs component to move them from one location to another.

Start and Target position: Use this to set NPC to move to a custom location.

Wander: Check this to set the NPC to a wander randomly on are set by max distance.

Move Speed sets the movement speed of the NPC.

Fields

Triggers

Owner Only

If checked this script will ignore owner. i.e not will happen if owner is within the range.

Exclude owner

if checked the effect will only trigger on client side. i.e triggered effect won't be shown to all avatars present in the regions. (better performance in certain cases.)

The Scripting Resourse components allow you to attach resources to an object without having the full Scripting Runtime. This can be useful when objects are created dynamically at runtime or meant to be interchangeable. Together with the Scripting Resources and Scripting Events components, you can effectively emulate the ability to create custom Unity components on an object with unique behaviors, properties, and resources attached to them.

Fields

Fields

Fields

Network Name Networks that share a name will communicate with each other. Minimum of 20 characters network name. You should make this something unique unless you want cross/talk to happen.

A common networking name is to use a DNS format, such as space.sine.mycoolwidget where you have a unique prefix just for you, followed by an application name.

Loopback Does this networking component react to events it sends.

Instanced If enabled, appends this object’s global unique ID to the network name, so that multiple copies of the same object will not cross-talk on the network.

Fields

Component Name See networking.

Bindings

Auto Bind To UI If enabled, state machine will automatically attach to Toggles, Buttons,Sliders, and Dropdowns on the same object at runtime.

If you have a slider with a range of like 1 to 10, you can create 10 states called 1, 2, 3, 4, etc and it'll switch between them automatically as you move the slider around.

You can skip numbers too.

If you have 1, 3, 7, 10, then basically 1,2 will use the '1' state, 3,4,5,6 will use the '3' state, 7,8,9 will use the '7' state, and 10 will be itself.

If there's no exact state match, and you are in between numbers, it rounds down to the nearest available state.

You can also call StateMachine.BindUI(object) to bind it to UI elements on some other object, 'auto bind' only works if there's something on the same object.

Networking

NetworkedState If enabled, state machine will network its state to all other users in the scene persistently that have the same component name.

NetworkedUnique If enabled, state machines on different objects will not work together even if they have the same component name.

State Settings

Start State 0 or 1 will be the first state in the list as default. States are 1-based, so 1 is the first state in the list.

Wrap States When reaching the last state, does it wrap back around to first state again (and vice versa).

Exit State On Start Automatically run the Exit Event on all states except the start state when component starts.

Redo States If told to switch to the state it is already in, redo the events anyway.

State Events

StateChangeEvent Event that happens every time the state changes, no matter what state it is coming to or from.

Machine States A simple state machine typically consists of a set of states, events that trigger state transitions, and actions that are performed upon entering or leaving a state.

Fields

Public Exposed Variables These are variables you want to be exposed to edit in edit room.

Component Name The reference name of your script

First you will need a directional light to which to attach the script component. A directional light was included when you created a new scene. If one isn't in the hierarchy panel (maybe you deleted it), you'll need to add one. Go to the menus at the top of the editor window and click Game Object - Light - Directional Light.

You'll need to add the Day Night Circle component (script) to your directional light. You can create a new empty object to attach with this component.

Contents

Component Settings

Preview

Preview is where you can toggle on and off 'Preview Enabled' to be able to see the lighting for different times of day in your Unity scene. You can drag the Preview Time of Day along to see what different times of day look like. The slider is set to 0 to begin with, this is midnight. 0.5 is midday. You should disable the preview before uploading the region.

Clock Set-up

By default, the light will be particularly harsh, the cycle will be set to 1440 minutes (a full 24 hr day), and start from mid night. You can modify the duration as you wish. Toggle the "Use local System Clock" on will use your local timestamp instead of using server time.

If you pick "Use Fixed", the time will be locked, you can set the time you want fixed by modify the slider bar of "Fixed Time of Day", the value is from 0 to 1, corresponding the color bar of sun.

Sun Light

Next drag the "Sun light" object into the Sun Light slot. If you create the region by using quick start, then it's the object called "Directional Light" that controls the sun light. You can find the Quick-start region by going to Assets>Sample Art>Quickstart in the Project window.

If white light is too harsh for you, you can change the color of this by changing the 'Sun Light' color on the Day /Night cycle component, not on the directional light.

You will need to change the 'Flare' setting on the Directional Light so that the flare is set to Sun. You can do this by clicking on the circle next to the Flare box, and choose Sun.

Environmental Cubemaps

This is to update the reflection probes in the region. The 'Update Cubemap Frequency' number is in seconds, so if you want to update the cubemap frequency every 30 seconds, leave it as it is. This basically changes the amount of light reflection on objects in the region, e.g. at night time you don't want reflective surfaces to reflect too much light.

Sun Light

This is where you drag in the directional light for the 'Sun'. You can set the color of the sunlight here, and also set the Sun Offset Rotation and Sun Rotation Axis. The Sun Offset Rotation and Sun Rotation Axis control the value of the movement of the sun during the day time. If you don't need a custom trail of movement for the sun, just leave it as default.

Sun Shafts

The Sun Shafts image effect simulates the radial light scattering (also known as the “god ray” effect) that arises when a very bright light source is partly obscured. Here you can change the colors of the sun shafts. You can check the 'Update Sun Shafts' to keep the sun shafts updated when objects are placed in the region.

Ambient Light

This will change the ambient light in the region. You can change the sky color, Equator color (This is the horizon area) and ground color.

Fog

You can change the colors for fog here and change the fog minimum curve and maximum curve. The fog curves set the minimum distance and maximum distance of fog, which in turn changes the amount of fog at certain times of day. You can click on the fog bar to change the curve between the values of 0 and 1.

Water Set-up

If you have water-like things in your scene, you can attach its material to the water material slot, which can make the light affect to the water too. You can change the colors for the water here if you wish.

Events

You can add events like playing music and animations. The events trigger is set to Dawn, Midday, Dusk, and Midnight. You can set this up to notify specific animators as well.

Shader Parameters

Toggling the 'Use local System Clock' and 'Shader send time of day' together will align your day/night cycle with your real-world local time. The Shader Send Color option will send the colors under the shader bar to the Lighting, meaning the lighting will change to these colors at certain times of day.

The virtual goods component is added to any item you upload; both for items that you are marking for sale, which will appear in the store, and items you are only uploading for your own use, including your own regions.

The virtual good component has been broken down into sub-categories, making it easier for you to fill in the necessary information.

Contents

Examples include using a music video URL for a club, and a training video streaming for business purposes.

The browser surface script can only be used for streaming from URLs in the desktop client.

Contents

Browser Surface Script

For making a media surface, first make the 3D object you want to use as a screen.

In the inspector window, add the browser surface component to the item you are using for the screen.

This will bring up the browser surface script in the inspector window.

Script Settings

Width

Use to set the width of the screen.

Height

Use to set the height of the screen.

Aspect ratios for width and height:

• 1920x1080

• 1024x720

• 3840x2160 (4K)

Zoom

This sets how far the zoom is on the screen.

URL

Place the URL here for the video you want to stream.

Background Color

This is the background color of the screen, which is defaulted to black.

YouTube Videos

You can set YouTube videos to play in two different ways, depending on how you want them to be viewed.

You will need to use specific URL addresses for these two different functions.

Default to Full-screen

You can choose to set the video to play defaulted at full screen. To do this, choose the YouTube video you want, and copy the video ID.

The video ID is the last component of the URL.

Then, to make the video default to full-screen, you have to use this URL: , and replace the VIDEOID part with the actual video ID.

Autoplay

You can choose to set the video to autoplay. To do this, first choose the YouTube video you want to stream,then set the autoplay button to autoplay then copy its' URL by righting clicking on the video.

Copy this URL into the browser script URL space, and then add '?rel=0&autoplay=1' at the end of the URL.

Screen Sharing

The media surface works well with screen-sharing applications that stream to the browser.

If you want to use screen sharing, you can use or to screen share.

Recommended Shader

The recommended shader for the screen is a custom shader made by Sine Wave.

Download the file above and drag it into any folder in your Unity project.

Create a new material in your project window by right-clicking and choosing Create>Material in the pop-up menu.

When the new material is in your project window, click on it, and you will see its properties in the inspector window.

On the shader drop-down menu, choose Sine Wave>Emissive Screen.

For the best results, turn the smoothness and metallic sliders down to 0.

Viewing the Screen

When you use media surfaces, you are using them so you and other users can view the streaming content. You will need to set up a couple of things to make viewing the content easier.

Focus Camera Script

The focus camera script is used to create a focus camera. This script needs a target to focus on, and this is where an empty object comes in.

You will need to create a 3D object with a collider attached to it and add the focus camera component to it by choosing the object and clicking on Add Component in the inspector window.

You need to place this 3D object close to your screen but not too close.

Search for focus camera, and add it.

Once it's added, you will see these settings in the focus camera script.

Target Camera Position

The target camera position is where you want the camera to focus on.

Depth of Field

If you check this, depth of field will be used.

Aligning the focus camera

To align the camera, first, you need to add a camera to your scene (delete the main camera and add a new one). To do this, right-click in the hierarchy and choose 'Camera'.

Now you want to move and rotate this camera so the screen is shown fully in the preview window. The easiest way to move the camera is to use the transform tool and set the position to 0,0,0, then move it until you are satisified with the view.

Here is an example:

As you can see in the preview, the whole screen is in the camera's view.

With the camera selected, in the inspector window, you will see the transform information. The transform information has a small settings button resembling a cog.

Click on this, and it will open up a menu.

In the menu, choose 'Copy Component'. This will copy the transform values of the camera.

Create an empty game object by right-clicking in the hierarchy and choose 'Create Empty'.

Click on the empty game object in the hierarchy, and go to the transform information in the inspector window.

As before, click on the cog, and in the menu, choose 'Paste Component Values'. This will paste the transform values of the camera to the empty game object.

Doing this will ensure that the same view from the camera is now on the empty game object.

Choosing the focus camera position

Now that the empty game object has the correct view of the screen, you will need to set that empty game object to be the focal point of the focus camera.

To do this, click on the 3D object with the focus camera script attached. In the inspector window, you will see the focus camera script settings.

Where it says 'Target Camera Position, drag the empty game object from your hierarchy into this box.

It should look like this.

You can choose whether or not to use depth of field.

Choosing to turn on depth of field will blur the areas of the surface which the camera is not immediately focused on.

After you have finished with these settings, you can either add the surface into Space as a virtual good or use it in a region and upload the region.

Fields

Unique Name

Gives Unique name to the item

The clothing item setting component is split into different subcategories. Each sub-category has different settings for the clothing and the uploading of the item.

When you have imported your clothing item into Unity, make sure it is selected, go to the Inspector window, click on ‘Add Component’ and search for Clothing to add the Clothing Item Settings component to your clothing item.

As you can see in the above image, there are four main categories: Item, Customisation, Submission and Review; Under each of these main categories are sub-categories.

Contents

Item

Item is where you can change the skeleton of the avatar to match the clothing you are uploading, and you will also see a list of categories to choose from. The list of categories is:

• Clothing

• Costumes

• Skin Material

• Tattoos and Makeup

Underneath is an explanation for all of these categories and their sub-categories.

Clothing

There are six sub-categories of clothing settings under the clothing category. These categories are:

• Fitting and Slots

• Skin and Cloth Deletion

• Materials and Patterns

• Level of Detail

At the top of the clothing settings, you can change the type of clothing you are uploading. The types are Rigged Clothing and Attachments.

Clothing Type

This is where you choose if your clothing item is a Rigged Clothing or an Attachment.

• Rigged clothing -

• Attachment - Tick if your item is an attachement. Then select the appropriate bone from "Attach to this bone."

Fitting and Slots

Fitting and slots is where you will find all the settings for the fit of the clothing and the clothing slots.

• Layer - This is where you can choose the layer of your clothing. For example, underwear would be under the Underwear layer, and a coat would be under the Baggy and Outerwear layer. If you set your clothing as an Underwear layer, it means other clothing can go over them. If you set your item as baggy and outerwear, it means that other items of clothing can be worn under it. For a guide on layers, please see this page.

• Fitting Slots - The avatar slots are where the skeleton will be deleted under the clothing. If you have a t-shirt, for example, and don’t want it worn with other items, you will have to check the upper chest, chest and back slots.

Skin and Clothing Deletion

This is where you can add deletion zones, and preservation zones, recalculate bounds and also change the settings for deletion and tucking, fitting and obscuration tuning.

• Deletion Zone Settings - The deletion zones are used for selecting an area of the avatar which you want to be deleted under clothing. This can be used for certain types of clothing which need a little extra deletion underneath.

• Preservation Zone Settings - Preservation zones are used for selecting an area of the avatar which you want to keep under clothing. This is useful if you have clothing with holes in, e.g. a dress with a slit or a corset with a lace-up back.

• Skip deletion - Tick to avoid all skin deletion being applied.

Materials and Patterns

Materials is where you can set to keep the material always of the clothing or attachment. If you plan to use the pattern system which allows for color and texture variations, leave the ‘Keep Materials Always’ unticked.

Level of Detail

This is where you can add in the high, medium and low LOD objects of the clothing. If you do not add any, we will set it to medium by default.

Automatic Skin Weighting

This is where you will find the settings needed for auto-weighting the clothing.

• Automatic Skin Weighting - This will automatically do the skin weighting for you without you having to do anything manually when you press the button. You can also add in a Custom Template here. This custom template is used if you have manually rigged and weighted clothes to a model in 3D software. You will need to drag the model into the Custom Template box.

• Advanced Weighting Settings - You can change settings for weighting here for better outcomes manually under the advanced weighting settings.

Feet Settings

When the 'Use Heel Settings' is ticked, you can alter the heel and avatar placement. You can check the blend shapes on the character archetypes to precisely line up shoes.

Morph Targets is where you enter the data for the Heel Amount, Arch Offset, and Height Offset.

Here is more information on how to set up shoes with .

Finialise

• Prepare/Re-Prepare - Once clicked, this will show the results of the skin deletion and weighting.

Costume

This is where you can add the options for a full body replacement costume.

• Referenced Prefab - This is where the root template of your costume will be. You will need to drag the costume into the Root Template box. For example, if you have a self-made avatar you want to use in sinespace, you will need to drag this avatar game object into this box.

• LOD Variants - This is where you can drag the low and high poly variants of your costume/avatar.

Skin Material

This section should only be used if you are adjusting the skin shader with a custom material. If you are just making a skin, we recommend using the tattoo and makeup system.

Tattoos and Makeup

This is where you can add tattoos, make up e.t.c as layers.

• Enabled - Check this box to enable the layers.

• Type - Here you can choose from different types of layers. Overlay will be an overlay layer, Tattoo will be for a tattoo, Make up is for make up, Skin is for a skin overlay layer, and Base Skin layer will replace the original avatar skin.

• Blend - You can choose from a range of blend options here such as darken or soft light, they work a bit like layer masks.

Shapes

This is where you can paste the shape data from the client to add a shape preset to your clothing.

Animation

This is where you add the information from your animation controller.

• Animation Overrides - This is where you will state the number of animation overrides, then add the element slot and humanoid animation clip.

• Controller - This is where you drag in your animation controller.

Customisation

It is recommended to use that customisation field, but this method will also work.

• Restrict Customisation - If this is ticked, it will restrict customisation of the clothing from other users/creators.

Submission

This is where the final settings for uploading the clothing item are.

• Finalise - You can either click on ‘Prepare’ to finalise the settings on the clothing, or you can click on ‘Recalculate Occlusion’ to recalculate the occlusion.

Review

This is where you can see the performance score, which is a quick estimate of the GPU and CPU power required to render the item. You can also change the Type Override to see an estimate of GPU and CPU power for similar items such as shorts, dresses or jackets.

Once all of these settings have been set, you need to add the Virtual Good component to the clothing item to upload to Sinespace.

Scene save setting lets you upload your scene to Sine Space. Once you have saved remember to remove Main camera from the scene as the region will be using 3rd person camera, which you do not need to add. Not removing main camera will cause region to be stuck at one view.

Contents

• 1 Add Landing Zone

Add Landing Zone

You need to define where users arrive when they log in to your region; and what direction they are facing. To do this, once your scene is set up, from the top menu in Unity select Game Object / Create Other / Landmark

This will place a new landmark item in your scene. In the Inspector window, set the type to Landing Zone and tick Spawn Point.

The in scene object is a yellow edged transparent plane which you can position anywhere in your scene. The yellow arrow points in the direction your visitors will face when they arrive.

Be careful to position the landing zone slightly above the terrain; if a tall avatar's feet arrive below the terrain they may fall through.

Add scene settings component

In the top menu in Unity go to Space / Scene Settings.

This will add a Virtual Goods component to your scene. You will see a set of fields in the Inspector.

You can return to this component any time via Space / Scene Settings.

In the Inspector set the Content Type to Region.

Primary descrition

Add the name, description and brand identity of your region as you want it to appear in the explore and discovery panels of the Space platform.

Localisation

You can add slots for as many different languages as you want to.

Images And Icons

If you are uploading items that will be sold as virtual goods to other Space users, add the store icons and imagery here and set the prices for Gold and Silver credits.

If you are uploading a region or item that is not for sale, tick the not for sale box. You do not need to add any images or icons if the item is not for sale.

Dual Currencies

If your region is going to be for sale, allowing other users to buy it as a template they can then customise as a private region for themselves, set it for sale and set your gold and silver prices.

For more infomation on gold and silver currencies;

Content Maturity

Choose an appropriate content maturity level;

Creator Information

The creator information should show the details of the legal entity holding the account; whether that is an individual or a company.

Export Mode

The Export Mode defines how your region content is received by your visitors; all at once before they log in, or progressively after they arrive.

• Single scene

Single scene delivers the entire region to the user as a single file which downloads before their avatar spawns. For regions with download sizes up to 100 mb, Single scene is likely to be an acceptable download time for your visitors.

• Multi bundle

Multi bundle is a form of dynamic loading control. It splits your scene into smaller components that are streamed to the visitor progressively.

The multi bundle algorithm examine every root object in your scene and compares each with every other root object. It then bundles objects where there is more than 40 kbytes of overlap in shared data between them.

You group into root objects has a big factor on how we create bundles; for instance grouping all vegetation or grouping one particular building where users will arrive.

Too many bundles will cause stuttering for the user while they are progressively loading. A reasonable target is 20 – 30 bundles.

• Additive scenes

Additive scenes is a Unity utility that allows you to organise a single region into multiple scenes. You can manually split content, creating a root scene containing occlusion, lightmap and navigation data, with additional scenes loading mesh and other content progressively. You will need Unity 5 multi scene tools to manually set this up.

For more information, see;

• Required download

When you are using Multi bundle mode you need to select one item in your scene, usually the terrain, and add a component to it called Manual Loading Control or Dynamic Loading Control. Then tick Required Download. This will ensure that the item is sent to the user before their avatar spawns. Without this there is a risk users will arrive and drop through space before your scene loads above their heads.

• Suggested memory

If your guest's device has less memory than this, they will be given a performance warning when entering the region.

World Map

The world map allows users to search and browse regions. The Preview Image you supply will be used as a background to preview your region in the World Map. It will also be used as the background while the region itself is loading.

• Preview image

The image you provide should be a .jpeg file. A 2:1 aspect ratio is recommended. Because the image is stretched to fit different screens it will distort slightly for some users.

• Loading logo

The Loading Logo Image appears on top of the Preview Image and is not stretched, allowing you to present your brand logo or a region specific title without distortion.

The image you supply should be a .png file with 512x256 dimensions. When you import the .png file, ensure the Alpha is Transparency box is ticked;

Region URL

You can assign a unique sub domain for each of your regions, which you can share with guests who can walk directly into your space from their browser.

In the editor you can reserve your region name.

Once the region is published you can then teleport directly to the staging server version (Creator) or the live public server version (Live).

Supported platforms

The platform settings allow you to fine tune your region for each platform you want to publish to.

Space currently supports;

• Standalone - Desktop application, PC or Mac

• Mobile / tablet - Android or iOS

• WebGL - Chrome, Explorer, Firefox and Edge

• Console - Sine Wave Entertainment is an accredited developer for Xbox and Playstation. The company is planning to release on these platforms later in 2016 after building a user interface for game controllers.

Settings

The default settings are designed to work for most regions.

Scene adjustment

• Remove lightmaps / light probes / reflection probes

Removing lightmaps and probes can significantly reduce download speed but will also impact on the runtime performance.

More information;

Lightmaps Light probes Reflection probes

• Static bake meshes / colliders

Ticking these boxes will prebake data before export. This improves loading performance but the region download will be bigger.

More information;

Static bake meshes Static bake colliders

• Strip occlusion / navigation data

Occlusion data holds information about what areas are visible from other areas; it allows the viewer to make intelligent decisions about optimising a scene, however it can add several mb of size to both runtime memory use; and download size. Keeping it improves performance but can result in higher memory use in big scenes.

Navigation data is used for showing waypoints, and moving NPCs around in a scene; it uses a little bit of extra memory, and can be stripped out if you are under severe memory pressure.

Texture size reduction

• Max texture resolution

All textures will be reduced to a maximum of the defined size for each build.

• Texture reduction levels

Reduces textures all by a multiple of the original, in line with Max texture reduction above.

So; if your scene contains large textures at 1024x1024 and you set the max texture reduction to 512 those large textures will be reduced by a factor of 4.

If you then set Texture reduction levels to 1, smaller textures in your scene will also be reduced by a factor of 4; so a 512x512 texture, which otherwise would have been unchanged by the Max texture reduction, would also be reduced by 4, to 256x256.

If you set the Texture reduction level to 2 it will multiply the Max texture reduction scale by 2; so in the case above reducing the smaller 512x512 texture by a factor of 8, to 64x64.

• Normal reduction levels

This will apply a further multiplicative reduction on normal maps on top of the reduction already applied by the Texture reduction level above.

Texture compression

• Allow crunch / Crunch level

Allows JPEG compression to be added to all textures in addition to DXT compression. This will degrade the quality of your images as the compression is lossy; but significantly reduces download filesize. It does not improve runtime memory size except during loading. Crunch level runs from 0 (very lossy) to 100 (lossless).

• Compress textures

This applies a further quality reduction, comparable to the quality slider in Photoshop when saving a jpeg file.

• True color As 16

Interprets images stored as 'True Color' to 16-bit colors. This applies compression to the colors, without introducing the blurriness / artefacts that DXT compression can introduce; at the expense of being slightly larger. With this ticked, any image with 'True Color' compression, will be packed at 16 instead of 32-bit on this platform.

Audio settings

• Force audio to mono

Converts stereo files to mono for that platform.

• Audio bitrate

This is a percentage field. So whatever the bitrate of your original files, you can reduce by X% for each of the different platforms you publish to. For instance a set of 128 bitrate original files, left at 100% in the Standalone build can be reduced to 64 in Mobile and WebGL builds by setting this field to 50.

Report

A summary of the objects and scripts in your scene which will notify you of potential issues.

• Info

This shows how many objects, root objects and colliders your scene has. It will flag potential performance issues.

• Script List

Space currently has a white list of approximately 120 scripts you can deploy in your regions. The script list shows all the scripts in your project, flagging the ones not currently white listed, which will be stripped out when submitted.

You can submit scripts to your account manager for inclusion in the white list. When the platform's SDK is released (scheduled for September 2016) the white list will be maintained in parallel.

Apply compression settings

Click this button to apply the to the assets in your scene.

Once the automated compression has run you can manually adjust individual files before publishing. You might, for instance, apply 512 as a maximum image size for the WebGL version of your region but then revert one or more specific important textures back to a higher resolution.

Sort into layers

Click this button to automatically assign every asset in the scene to one of four draw distance layers, according to their size; larger objects are set to be visible at greater distances.

The draw distance for each user is determined by the quality settings they select inworld;

Default = 20 to 75m Important = 80 to 320m VImportant = 240m to 900m NotImport = Max 30m (60m in Beautiful/Ultra) NotImportLandmark = Max 60m (120m in Beautiful/Ultra)

If you do not apply Sort into layers button everything will be left in default layer.

After applying you can manually review and modify;

Automatic submission

Once your scene is ready to submit, click Automatic submission. This will create a zip file containing the region and will send it to the Space servers.

Here the assets will be unpacked and compiled for each of the different platforms you have specified. You will receive three automated emails; confirming the content has been received, has started processing and has been released for you to log in and review.
