We’ve improved the embedded player on Equimake, making it more engaging and accessible! You can now choose between displaying a play button or enabling autoplay. Autoplay bypasses the extra click needed to engage with your content. Additionally, you can easily switch the player’s UI between light and dark modes by toggling the 'Dark mode' checkbox below. 👇

With dark mode the play button changes its color and in-world UI elements will be styled accordingly 👇

See this blog post by Wagner James Au to check out the new player in action and stay tuned for more updates! 🙌

We've just rolled out a new update that replaces the old limit on 3D model uploads with a generous 2GB of free storage space! Previously, you could upload up to 20 private 3D models. We realized it wasn’t fair to restrict you by the number of models, so we’ve switched to a file size-based quota. This change means you can now upload many small 3D models — potentially thousands!

No action is needed on your part. Just log back into the platform and enjoy the upgraded benefits. For Makers, the storage limit is now 50GB!

Check out your Libraries; you'll now see an indicator showing how much storage you’ve used 👇

🙌 Stay tuned for more updates!

The embedded website will stay up to date with your changes but they will not be reflected in real-time.

We hope you like this update and will start embedding your creations to your personal portfolios, websites, and blog posts 🙌

Sharing 3D Experience is now both convinient and easy. To share experience simply click "Share" button in the top right corner.

Select the social platform you want to share the experience on,or click "Copy". Paste the copied link on Discord, forums or other platforms!

Your creations will get a nice preview image, title, description including the experience name, author, and call to action!

Don't forget that you can also update the thumbnails of your 3D scenes by going to "Advanced" tab and clicking camera icon.

We hope you like this small update and will start sharing your creations with your friends and communities you are part of 🙌

3D Annotations enable story-telling, walkthroughs and simply allow you to tell your users more about your 3D content. The annotation system is inspired by Sketchfab and will empower you to educate, explain and tell a story through 3D content.

To get started, click "+ New" -> "Annotation" , provide Title, optional Description and you are all set! Additionally you may change the camera angles depending on the view!

Watch tutorial / showcase video down below!

Known Issues

• When deleting multiple annotations and spawning a new one, few annoations might dissapear. Simply refresh the page for them to appear again.

We added chat notification sounds. It gets activated when a user joins your experience or a new message is added. You may disable the sounds in Chat menu by clicking on the volume icon. We have also added user interactivity. As a "Viewer" or "Contributor" you may now see who added a particular object in the experience by clicking on it and confirming the prompt.

We hope that this small update will help the community to not miss an opportunity to chat and discover creators more easily!

New update has been just released adding basic 3D shapes for you to experiment with and build something simple and cool. Here is the list of 3D elements:

• Cube

• Plane

• Sphere

• Cylinder

• Capsule

You may also set the color of 3D Text or a given object inside the object list. See the new update in action down below and feel free to check it out yourself inside your experiences!

Stay tuned for more updates!

I just released a long awaited undo / redo system. Imagine a scenario where you accidentally moved an object and would like to undo the previous action. Now you can do so with Ctrl + Z and Ctrl + Y shortcuts to undo or redo previous action. Additionaly you can do that by clicking on left and right action arrows on the top screen bar. See animation below:

I also made improvements on how the 3D objects are spawned inside the world. If you are looking at the ground and trying to spawn a model it will try to spawn it directly on the intersection where you are looking. Additionally when you join the Community page, you will now receive a popup showcasing the latest updates that you might have missed.

This way you can always stay up-to-date with recent updates !

New Users & ProductHunt launch

3 days ago I announced Equimake on ProductHunt https://www.producthunt.com/posts/equimake and as a result of that Equimake got 82 new users in just one day. Please upvote Equimake if you get a chance, it will help the platform stay ranked high.

Next day 48 users arrived from 69 countries and I am very happy with that.

Stay tuned for more updates!

You may now export your experiences as a single .glb file and then import it to Blender or any other DCC tool. Please note:

1) You may not distribute the exported asset or use it commercially if it includes assets from the public library.

2) If the exported asset contains only your own licensed content, you're free to use it as you wish.

Please note, GLTF export exports only the assets that are owned by you. For example, if you collaborated with somebody and placed your assets, they will not be able to export your assets, or steal your assets as they are not the owner of the assets.

This feature was highly requested and gives ability for the user to quickly prototype a scene in Equimake and then import it to Blender, Unity, Unreal, Mozilla Hubs or other DCC tool for further correction.

This new update introduces new 4 Asset Packs which has a total of 900 assets. These assets are free-to-use for anybody on Free plan and above.

See the preview of the asset packs below:

User Indicators

Introducing user presence indicators. Those indicators help you and your viewers understand who selects or manipulates a given object. When you select a 3D object your name will appear next to the object in a so-called name "bubble".

This feature helps you see other users' activity while building in a collaborative mode enchancing engagement and giving spatial understanding of other people actions.

New Contributor role allows you to safely collaborate with people. Users with the role Contributor are only able to create, edit, and delete object that they own.

Imagine a scenario where you want to give somebody access to collaborate with you but you don't necessarily want them to be able to edit all the objects in the experience. That's where Contributor role comes handy as it restricts the user to only create and modify their own objects without affecting what you or others already built. With this new patch there are now 3 roles:

• Viewer - can only view the experiences

• Contributor - can only create and modify their own objects

• Editor - can create, edit and delete all the objects

Allow Anyone to Contribute

By default your experiences are protected from unwanted building access. However, if you want to automatically give Contributor role to anyone who visits your experience you can click "Allow Anyone to Contribute". It is listed under Danger Zone as it gives any stranger an opportunity to build inside your experience. Currently we limited the number of objects a given Contributor can spawn to 5 objects so it should be a relatively safe limit.

Wath the video below to see it all in action:

I have added new Video component which you can place inside your experiences to create a 3D video. YouTube and Vimeo integrations allow you to embed any video from the platforms. You may also embed live streams, and YouTube playlist. See the video above for more information and tutorial.

I am happy to add new feature: Fly Camera allowing you to move freerly in your experiences with WASD shortcuts. The video above is also a good tutorial on how to navigate with your Camera inside Equimake.

I am happy to announce new components:

• 3D Text

• Images

You may now embed images from platforms like Imgur and Flickr allowing you to create 3D galleries on the web easier and faster or embed your photos.

I have also added new Sky settings allowing you to change day and night time as well as altering scene's exposure.

In just 3 days over 300 users have joined Equimake. I worked really hard and introduced Online and View counters allowing users to discover one another more easily. I have also added GLTF animations making your 3D scenes more interactive. Animations will be played automatically if your gltf file has animations in them.

Equimake is finally out and allows you to build 3D Web experiences for free, empowering Learners and Creators to connect and create interactive 3D Experiences on the Web for free.
