- Today we're gonna talk about Spoke.
Spoke is a new tool we've created
to make a space in Mozilla Hubs.
All you have to do is go to our page,
download it, launch it.
It's a little command line program
but it spawns a new browser window.
What you get is what looks like a typical 3D Editor.
So we can move the view around with the left mouse button,
with the right mouse button zoom in and out.
We've got translate, I can click on something.
Here it is in the hierarchy, I can see its properties.
I can translate it,
switch to rotate, rotate along any axis,
or I could come over here and change it
and I can even scale it.
We tried to make it as simple as possible.
You'll notice that everything snaps to the one meter grid.
It's very nice.
So, now we've got our little room here.
Let's put something in it.
Let's add a model.
Now I don't have any models locally, so let's go search.
We'll go to Sketchfab, now we can download anything
from Sketchfab as long as it's marked as downloadable.
Let's search for low poly campfire.
A friend of mine said there was a good one.
Yep, there it is.
So that looks really cool.
We're just going to copy the URL,
paste it into here and there we go.
Pretty sweet.
Now of course the scale is completely wrong.
'Cause we can see here's our little robot guy.
This is how big we're gonna be
when we go into the scene in Hubs.
This is way too big so let's just scale it down.
That looks about right, there we go.
And you know what, I don't want to start off right here
in the flowers, so let's move our spawn point,
this is where people appear when they first enter.
Let's just move it right over there.
Now that's starting to look like a nice place.
I'll come in, I'll see the fireplace,
wanna come over and hang out with my friends.
The ground is brown though, let's change the ground,
to be green, that looks a little better.
Okay, now we can just publish.
We got to save first, we'll call this campfire test.
And, oh right, I need a Hubs account.
Let's put in josh@josh.earth, my email, shows where I live,
now they're gonna send me an email message.
You can see here I got an email, so I just click on it.
Jumps me back to the browser, it's verified,
I close that window and now we're all ready to publish.
So let's give a description.
A cozy little campfire.
Let's allow remixing, let Mozilla promote the scene,
it's already given the attribution here
to the person who created the original model on Sketchfab.
I hit publish, now it's gonna publish,
it's gonna automatically calculate the floor for me.
All right, it's all done.
Let's view our scene.
So this scene is now available on the web,
I can send this link to anybody,
I could share it on Twitter.
And anybody else can use this scene to create a new Hub.
So let's create a Hubs room, and let's enter.
Now, I'm here in the new Hubs room.
I can walk around, check out everything,
my friends can come hang out with me.
It's a nice, cool little space.
So that's it, publishing scenes is fun and easy with Spoke.
