Any GLTF uploaded to Foveate with a material named "VIDEO" will be available under an uploaded video asset's Details panel for use as a Video Mesh. The video material will play back on the mesh according to the UVs in the GLTF. You may need to edit UVs in your 3D software if it appears stretched or distorted.
Multiple Videos and Images can be uploaded and placed in a scene. A different video can be triggered to playback per Moment using the Media in the Moments Details, otherwise, a video will restart playback when you press the Play button in your presentation.
Videos and Images are automatically created as planes in your 3D Scenes upon upload. You can click on the name of an asset in the file list to expand the controls for it. Clicking on the asset in the list will automatically show the transform gizmo in your 3D scene that will allow you to move, rotate, and scale your Media Plane.
Autoplay — Whether the video should start automatically playing in a scene or not.
Mute — Mute audio of media or not.
Double-Sided — Make the media render on both sides of the plane or not.
Curve — You can apply curvature to the 2D Media Plane to make it feel more immersive and less flat.
Foveate accepts the following file formats for video import. You can use a free app like Handbrake to convert your videos to one of the following file formats.
It is generally recommended to keep videos small and short, i.e. below 2K resolution and under 30mb. You can upload larger files, however, this will significantly affect loading time of your scene.
.mp4
.m4v
.ogv
*Preferred encoding is .h264/.h265 at 30fps for optimum playback on all devices.
Foveate applies no compression so you can even upload an 8K video if you wish, however, this may not playback on all client devices.
Foveate accepts the following file formats for image import. Use .png or .webp for images that require alpha. Generally, WebP is preferred for faster loading time. Use can use a free batch image converter like XnConvert to convert your images to different formats.
.jpg
.png
.webp
You can also assign an image to a Moment which will make it appear as a button in the Moment text box that a user can expand in a modal to view. This allows you to attach a photo or render to a particular point in a space and can be useful to give spatial awareness to where a render or image was taken from.
