Portable workflow

Standalone studies have no hero or gameplay binding. Edit them here, export a ZIP package, then bind or install it only when a game needs it.

Package contents

Effect graph, timeline, paths, quality tiers, embedded runtime spec, dependency references, preview settings, and optional audio links.

Portable full Heroes

Each Hero keeps its verified GLB, complete rig and weights, every editable animation, animation state tree, sockets, physics authoring data, and immutable ability VFX trees together.

Use in another game

Export Full Hero produces a ZIP with standard glTF 2.0, engine-neutral tree manifests, VFX graphs and timelines, dependencies, the browser VFX SDK, and an integration guide. Export never changes the Studio gameplay.

Reusable components

Insert subgraphs, emitters, trails, materials, impacts, lighting rigs, and timing patterns without sharing mutable IDs.

Blueprint kind

Show archived blueprints

World Blueprint Gallery

Published revisions are immutable and safe to reuse in other blueprints or developer God Build. Drafts remain editable in Builder.

Portable workflow

Exports include source, compiled runtime, pinned dependency provenance, and thumbnail. Installed model binaries remain in the shared asset catalog.

Session API key

The key is sent only to the loopback authoring server, never written to project files, browser storage, exports, or logs. You can also use ELEVENLABS_API_KEY in .env.local.

Style lock

Every item receives its own provider-ready brief: source, sequence, material, timing, perspective, mix target, exclusions, duration, and loop behavior. Voice scripts keep direction separate from spoken text.
