Frequently asked questions

Yes. Everything on this site is free: the browser studio, the games, the gallery, the tools, accounts and minting on Monad testnet. There is nothing to buy, no payment step and no ads on the website. The Quest app is free on the Meta Quest store too. If you want to give something back, Support development shows how, and it is never required.

No. Clayground runs on the Quest by itself. You only need a computer if you want to take your exports into Blender or another tool.

Yes. It’s free on the Meta Quest store. If you want to support it, that’s separate and never required.

You can sculpt past the edges of the box. The headset still has a memory limit, so very big or very detailed scenes will slow down. I’m working on room for bigger projects.

Export a GLB or OBJ, then open Capture > Share. The headset and your phone or computer must be on the same Wi-Fi: the file comes straight from the headset. If Share shows a pairing code, type it at clayvr.com/share; if it shows an address starting with http://, use the address form on the same page. Exports are also in the headset’s Downloads folder. Animations export as a stop-motion GLB of the layer you’re on.

Not the project itself: the headset’s project files (.clay) and the browser’s .clayweb backups are different formats. You can export a GLB from the headset and use Import GLB in the browser studio, which turns closed meshes into editable clay. Fine detail softens in the conversion, and the browser studio doesn’t have every tool the Quest app has.

No. It runs in the web page at clayvr.com/sculpt, on computers and phones. You can add it to your home screen, but it’s still the browser studio, not the Quest app, and the two have different tools.

In the browser you used, on that device. The studio keeps your current sculpt automatically, and My projects keeps named copies. Clearing site data or switching device loses both, so press Save project (or Ctrl+S) to download an editable backup (.clayweb) for anything you care about. My stuff shows what’s on this device.

A .clayweb backup is your editable sculpt, every layer included: open it with Open project. A GLB, OBJ or STL is a model for other apps and printers. Import GLB can turn a closed GLB back into clay, but it’s a conversion: thin details soften, layers come back as one per part, and GLBs with image textures can’t be imported yet. Keep a backup as well.

No. Gallery & Mint uploads the model (a GLB) to your private online workspace after you sign in, then adds it to the gallery, mints it, or both. It doesn’t keep your layers. For a backup, press Save project to download a .clayweb file: that’s the one that reopens with every layer.

Yes. Open Motion and press Breathe, Sway, Hop, Spin or Wobble: the whole sculpt moves, in stop-motion with a little clay boil. Record clip saves a square video to post.

Yes. In the browser studio press Print (STL) for a 60 mm file ready for a slicer. The print guide covers home printers, libraries, online services and painting.

Every day the studio has one Phetta Fella that's the same for everyone. Open it at clayvr.com/sculpt?phetta=daily, and make it yours.

Phetta Fellas, yes: each one has a page at clayvr.com/fella/ and its number, with an embed code that shows it turning in 3D. In the studio, Copy embed code gives you the snippet.

Yes, on Monad testnet, and it costs you nothing. In the browser studio press Export, then Gallery & Mint, and sign in with your email or your own wallet. Tick Mint on Monad and press the button. Clayground pays the network fee and the NFT goes to your wallet, with the real 3D file on IPFS. Testnet tokens have no money value, and a mint is permanent and public. Nothing ever mints unless you tick Mint on Monad and press the button, and the standalone Preview page remains local and never mints by itself. You can open it here.

Yes. Every game runs in any browser on a phone or computer, free, with no account and no headset: Smoosh, the platformers Snack Run and Soft Spot, the puzzles Fix It, Clay Views and the daily Blend In, and the party games. Start at clayvr.com/play.

Snack Run and Soft Spot are one-player platformers, Hard Bake is a one-player shooter where you sculpt the floor, and Slip Surf is a one-player surfing game. Fix It, Clay Views and the daily Blend In puzzle are quick puzzles, and Smoosh lets you fight up to three computer fighters. Snack Run, Fix It, Clay Views and the Blend In puzzle all change every day.

Two of you on your own screens: on the Smoosh page press Play a friend, then Host a game and give your friend the four-letter code. A group around one TV or laptop: press Host on a big screen under Play a friend (or open clayvr.com/play and press Host a game), and everyone joins on their phone with the four-letter code or the QR code. Smoosh takes up to 8 players, Blend In 2 to 12 (or a whole stream chat), Sculpt-off 2 to 8.

A keyboard (A and D or the arrows move, Space jumps, J attacks, K specials, L smashes, Shift shields), a game controller, or touch buttons on a phone. Press H in a fight for the full guide.

Open the same link again and choose Rejoin: you come back as the same player, never twice. A link to a different room always opens that room, with a button back to the one you were in. If the big screen disappears for a minute and a half mid-game, the room goes back to the lobby.

Only if you want it to. Sculpt around the pink skeleton in the fighter maker, or open a saved studio sculpt from the Smoosh menu. A fighter needs a head, a body, two arms and two legs, and Add them for me fills in any that are missing. Whatever clay is near a bone moves with it.

No. Sculpting, saving and exporting all work without an account or a wallet, on Quest and in the browser. A free account is only for keeping things online: make one (an email is enough, and there’s no password) to claim a name of your own, upload sculpts, make share links or submit to the gallery. Already have one? Log in.

Open Sign up, type your email, enter the code we send you, then pick a handle. Your artist page, at clayvr.com/artist/yourhandle, appears once one of your sculpts is in the gallery. You pick the handle once; the name you’re credited by can change later.

Yes. Make a free account or log in, upload a GLB under My stuff → Online, and once it passes checks, tick Add to gallery to send it for review. Submissions stay private until reviewed and approved by a person, and you can pull an entry later. Each Monday one favourite is Featured.

In the Clayground Discord (clayvr.com/discord). Answer the one rules question after joining to get the Sculptor role. Bugs go in #bug-reports, Quest questions in #quest-app-help, browser and phone questions in #browser-studio-help, and minting questions in #minting-help. Minting is free and only happens on clayvr.com. Staff will never DM you first and will never ask for your seed phrase or private key.

Files on your headset and files you exported are deleted separately. Data & deletion walks through both. To delete your account, email us: there is no button yet. Anything published on a blockchain stays there even if you delete your account.
