Making Avatars Available in the Otherside

After you have made all the 3D assets for an avatar collection there are four steps to follow to make them available for your holders in the Otherside.

1. Upload GLBs to a Publicly Available Location

To make avatars available to all your holders they must be publicly available. They will be downloaded from the storage controlled by you into the Otherside when a user requests an avatar.

2. Create and Upload MMLs to a Publicly Available Location

The MMLs contain some information about what to do with an the GLB. A simple MML that only points to a single GLB would look like:

<m-character src="https://fake-collection-api.io/glbs/1.glb"></m-character>

You should create 1 MML for each token in your collection.

3. Update collection metadata to include an MML Field

Each token needs to have an additional field in it's data call MML. For example if I had a fake collection called Boxie it might have metadata that looks like:

{
        "id": 0,
        "name": "Boxie 0",
        "image": "https://fake-collection-api.io/images/token_id.jpg",
        "mml": "https://fake-collection-api.io/mml/token_id.mml",
        "attributes": [
            {
                "value": "classic box",
                "trait_type": "head"
            },
            {
                "value": "metallic purple",
                "trait_type": "upper"
            },
            {
                "value": "dark",
                "trait_type": "lower"
            }
        ]
    }

This is what allows Otherside games to pull in a users avatar that they have in their wallet.

4. Contact Yuga to Whitelist your Contract

Currently collections are added via a whitelist once steps 1-3 are complete we can review and add the contract address to our whitelist to make the avatars available for anyone who has them in their wallet.
