What is a Gallery?

A Gallery project hangs your images as framed artworks along a 3D wall, each one under its own spotlight. Visitors move along the wall one piece at a time, like walking past the works in a museum.

  • One image is one artwork, with an optional title on a plaque below it
  • Frames you can turn on or off and recolour
  • A wall in any colour, or tiled with a texture you upload
  • A spotlight on each artwork, plus ambient light you can dim
  • Hotspots on any artwork: links, tooltips and pop-ups

Create a gallery

  1. 1. Upload your artworks

    Open the Content tab and drop in your images or a PDF.

  2. 2. Order and title them

    Drag an artwork to move it and give each one a title. Without a title, its plaque reads Artwork followed by its number.

  3. 3. Dress the room

    In Settings, under Scene, pick the wall, the frames and the lighting.

  4. 4. Add hotspots

    In the Hotspots tab, place clickable spots on any artwork to link to a shop, an artist page or a note.

  5. 5. Share it

    Save, then copy the link or the embed code from the Share tab.

Settings

Everything below is in the editor's Settings tab, listed under the sub-tab where you find it: General, Scene or Camera.

General

Basic info (the project title and description) sits at the top for every type. Below it come the settings for the object itself.

Appearance

Show titles puts each artwork's title on a plaque below it. Show artwork counter shows the position, like 1 / 10. Both are on by default.

Scene

What surrounds the object, and the Realism finish over the whole frame.

Wall

A wall colour, or a seamless texture you upload (brick, wood, concrete) that tiles across the wall. You can crop the texture, and Texture size, from 1 to 15, sets how many times it repeats. The gallery has a wall instead of the background picker other types use.

Frame

Show frame puts a frame around every artwork. While it is on, Frame color sets its colour.

Lighting

Spotlight opacity, from 0 to 100% (30 for a new gallery), sets how visible the beam of light over each artwork is. Ambient light, from 0 to 1 (0.4), lights the whole room.

Realism

Film grain over the frame (0 to 100, 15 by default), how much of it lands on the artworks, still or animated grain, a vignette, and a shadow on the wall that you can turn on or off.

Camera

Where the view starts and how much visitors can move it.

Playback

Auto-rotate pages moves to the next artwork on its own and goes back to the first after the last one. Interval sets the seconds between moves, from 1 to 30 (3 by default).

Camera

Initial zoom (50 to 200%), Min zoom (50 to 100%) and Max zoom (100 to 300%) set where the view starts and how far it goes. Horizontal rotation and Vertical tilt, up to 30 degrees each way, aim the camera. Drag to rotate, on by default, lets visitors tilt the wall a little by dragging; it springs back when they let go. Reset to default puts the zoom and angle sliders back, and leaves Drag to rotate as it is.

On a phone, the editor has no Show frame switch and no Horizontal rotation or Vertical tilt sliders. Set those from a computer.

Hotspots, menu and sounds

Next to Files, the Content tab has three more sub-tabs: Hotspots, Menu and Sounds.

Hotspots

Hotspots go on the artworks. Each one stays on the artwork you placed it on.

A hotspot can go to another page, open a link, show a tooltip or open a pop-up. How hotspots work

Sounds

Every project type can have background music. Add tracks as MP3, M4A, WAV, OGG or FLAC, up to 20 minutes each. They are compressed to about 1 MB per minute and count toward your workspace storage. You can loop the playlist, set the volume and show a small player next to the dock. Autoplay starts with the visitor's first tap or key press, because browsers block sound until then.

Film it in Studio

Every project type can be filmed in Studio. Open the project's Studio tab, pick camera moves made for this type, and turn the project into a video, a GIF, a still image or a page of its own to share. Studio reads this project's files and settings, so what you set here carries over. Read the Studio docs · See the camera moves for each type

Current limits

  • The wall is one straight line of artworks. There is no room to walk around in.
  • No links dock. To link out, put a hotspot on an artwork.
  • A sideways trackpad swipe does not move along the wall. Use the wheel, the arrows or the dock.

Tips

  • Title every artwork. Untitled pieces read Artwork 1, Artwork 2 on their plaques.
  • Turn the ambient light down and the spotlight up for a gallery at night.
  • A light wall suits photography, a dark one suits bright illustration.
  • Turn on the zoom buttons when the detail is the point, like a print or an illustration.
  • Put a hotspot on each artwork that is for sale, linking to its page in your shop.
