Welcome to Story Splat!

Getting Started: Loading Your Model

There are two ways to add your 3D model to Story Splat:

Drag and Drop: Simply drag your model file directly into the viewer
URL Method: If your model is hosted online, click the "File" menu and paste the URL (must be CORS accessable)

Remember: You must create at least one waypoint before you can export your story. This first waypoint sets your initial camera position!

Creating Your Story Path with Waypoints

Waypoints are like stops on your story's journey. Here's how to use them:

Creating Waypoints: Click the "Waypoints" button and use the "+" button to add a new waypoint at your current camera position
Adding Details: Each waypoint can have:
- Text descriptions
- Spatial Audio
Ordering: Arrange waypoints to create your story's path - the camera will follow this path when viewing

Making Your Story Interactive

Story Splat offers several ways to make your story more interactive:

Hotspots: Add clickable points of interest in your scene
- Click or hover over "Hotspots" to view information
- Add text/image popups to each hotspot
- Link to external content
Collision Areas: Create invisible boundaries
- Use the "Collision" menu to add boundary boxes
- Keep viewers within specific areas
- Guide the story experience

Camera Modes Explained

Story Splat has three different ways to view your story:

Tour Mode: The camera automatically follows your waypoint path, perfect for presenting your story
Explore Mode: Free movement using WASD+QE keys and mouse looking
Hybrid Mode: A special combination that:
- Follows the waypoint path as viewers scroll
- Allows free exploration at any time
- Perfect for interactive storytelling!
