Using the library
Gamelearn library offers thousands of 3D scenes, characters, and objects to build your games. You will also use the library as a repository to manage all the documents you need to customize your game: pdf, images, audio files, and videos. You can upload your own videos but also embed Youtube and Vimeo links.
There are 2 ways to access the library:
Each time you add a background, an element or add content to a building block the library opens automatically.
- You can open the library from the main interface of the game. This allows you to pre-load all your assets before you start building, for example, or to browse the 3D content for inspiration.
