Everything from sounds and visuals to 3D models and custom devices.
Created in the app or imported.
The create tab (aka library) is the place to find the assets available to spawn.
Looking to add your own assets? Check out our guide on importing files.
Patchworld supports five main asset types, each with its own unique properties and inspector options:
- Audio files spawn as bubble blocks that contain your sound.
- Bubbles can only play mono signals at the moment, so when importing multi channel audio only the first channel will play. This will probably be improved soon, but for the moment the bast way is to split the channels before importing to PatchWorld.
- Static images and animated GIFs appear as image blocks, displaying your visual content directly in your world.
- Images can also be spawned as 360 images
- Supported formats:
.jpg, .jpeg, .png, .gif
- Video files spawn with a built-in video player block, complete with playback controls.
- Supported formats:
.mp4, .avi, .mov
- 3D models appear as model blocks .
- Supported format:
.glb
- Devices are special assets created by grouping blocks together, then turning them into a device. These are reusable, sharable patches.
