After you've created a Region or other 3D model, only a few additional steps are required to upload it to Breakroom. Please note that the instructions below presume a basic working knowledge of Unity, and that you must have Unity and the Breakroom SDK.
Only can upload custom items to Breakroom.
In Unity, click on the File menu, and then click New Sinespace Scene. This will add the necessary components to a new scene to begin your Region upload.
When you create a standard Unity scene, it will include a Main Camera and a Directional Light. A new Sinespace scene creates a specific setup for use in Breakroom, and includes some additional elements:
Landmark: This controls where your users will land when they teleport to the Region.
Sun: This is a renamed Directional Light.
Cube: This is a simple floor. This would normally be replaced by your Region's models and designs.
Scene Export Settings: This contains specific information that you will need to edit. This is covered in more detail below.
Post Processing Settings: You will normally not need to make changes to these settings.
Throughout this document, the default cube pictured is representative of a scene. Remember that normally, this cube will be replaced by your own custom models.
In order to upload your Region, you'll need to make some changes to the Virtual Good component. To begin, click on the Scene Export Settings component in the Hierarchy. In the Inspector panel, you will see the Virtual Good component.
From here, you'll need to navigate through the Virtual Good component tabs and edit their contents to complete setup of your Region. Here are the key steps you'll need to take.
Under the Basic tab, you must:
Specify the item type and category (e.g. Region) using the Type drop-down menu and Category search field.
Enter a name for the Region in the Name field.
Enter a description in the Description field.
And finally, enter a brand name in the Brand field. If you don't have an in-world brand, this would normally be your company name.
After you're done editing the Basic tab, click on the Detail tab. The settings located under this tab are optional, and usually left in their default state. The sole exception is the Inworld Customization setting, which is highlighted in the image above. Using the drop-down menu, set this to Full.
Next, click the Pricing tab and check the box beside the "Not for Sale" option.
Click the Author tab, and then enter the relevant information for your upload. If in doubt, leave the Unique Status drop-down menu set to Available Elsewhere, enter your name into the Developer Name field, and set the Copyright field to your company name.
Under the Upload tab, add your grid number to the Grid field. You can obtain your grid ID from multiple places.
Finding your grid ID on Dashboard
Look in the top left corner of the screen. You will see your World name followed by an ID number. This ID number is your grid ID.
Finding your grid ID on Curator
Click either your account name or the Advanced button located at the top of the page. This will take you to Curator.
In the Curator window that opens, click the Grids heading.
Locate the grid card for your World. Your grid ID will be displayed next to the World name.
While still in the Upload tab, locate the Scene Save Settings component. Here you will need to add two images. One will be your Region-specific "splash screen," and the smaller one will be your logo.
Logo: The image should be 512x256, PNG format preferred, and no larger than 5MB.
Once you have uploaded these images, click on the Automatic Submission button to complete your upload.
The tutorial below is designed for Sinespace, but the advice is consistent with Breakroom.
You can skip the Icons tab, as this tab is only used if you intend to your Region as a product in the .
Navigate to your.
Navigate to your .
Splash screen: This image will appear in the , and when users are teleporting to your Region. It should be 1920x1080, PNG format preferred, and no larger than 5MB.
