Publishing to VIVERSE

Definition:

A Scene is the blueprint of your virtual space registered in VIVERSE Create. One Scene can generate multiple identical World.

A World is your designated virtual space in VIVERSE Create, accessible via a unique URL.

VRAM Classification and Performance Recommendations

To ensure consistent performance and platform compatibility, our system classifies content based on VRAM usage per world and provides platform-specific performance recommendations. Developers should optimize their content to target the desired range of supported devices.

VRAM Usage Categories

The system automatically assigns a performance boundary level based on the amount of VRAM your world uses:

Boundary Level

VRAM Usage

Low

≤ 500 MB

Medium

500 MB and ≤ 800 MB

High

800 MB and ≤ 2 GB

Very High

2 GB

Worlds marked Very High will trigger a warning popup for users, indicating that the content is intended for high-end PCs only.

Platform Recommendations

Each boundary level maps to a set of recommended platforms, reflecting performance expectations:

Boundary Level

Recommended Platforms

Low

PC / iOS / Android / HMD (VR Headsets)

Medium

PC / Android

High

Very High

PC (High-End only, with warning popup)

Developer Guidance

Targeting Wider Compatibility: Aim to keep VRAM usage under 500 MB to support the broadest range of devices.
Optimizing for Android or iOS: Stay within Low or Medium boundary levels to ensure mobile device compatibility.
High-End Visuals: Worlds exceeding 800 MB VRAM should be optimized for PC-only audiences.
Exceeding 2 GB VRAM: Consider splitting large scenes, using LODs, or reducing texture resolutions to avoid user warnings.

For best results, monitor your world’s VRAM usage regularly during development and test on target platforms. Pressing 'Shift + .' will open the console to view various profiling values including VRAM.
