Publishing

Publishing from the SuperSplat Editor uploads your edited splat to superspl.at, where it lands on your Manage page, gets a public scene page, and can be opened in Studio to curate the viewing experience (cameras, animations, annotations, post effects, skybox, collision).

Two ways to publish

You can also publish without using the Editor. Hit the orange Upload Splat button on the superspl.at home page (or use the Direct Upload flow) to publish a ready-made splat file straight to your Manage page. Both paths land in the same place and share the same downstream tooling.

To self-host your own copy of the published viewer instead of (or in addition to) publishing to superspl.at, see Self-Hosting the Viewer.

Ensuring you are Logged In

Publishing splats requires you to be logged in.

Before you begin, you must have created a PlayCanvas account and be logged in at playcanvas.com. You must then also log in at superspl.at (via the Login button in the top right). Verify you are logged in by checking that your account avatar is displayed in the top right of the page on superspl.at.

2. Select Publish.

3. Fill out the options in the Publish dialog:

note

It may take several minutes to compress your splat to SOG format during the publishing process, so be patient! ⏳

Once the publish process is complete, a modal dialog will show with the URL of your published splat. Copy it and share it with whoever you like.

What's next?

• Your new splat now lives on the Manage page where you can edit its title, description, visibility, and downloadable license.
• Open it in Studio to add cameras, camera animations, annotations, post effects, a skybox, or collision geometry.
• Visitors browse to its public scene page to view, share, embed, like, and (if you allow it) download.
