Models | Listing Type

Model listings allow users to share FBX, GLB, and GLTF file types.

Each listing type has required fields that must be completed before the listing can be either saved or promoted to Production. If any required fields are left blank a red i icon will be marked on the corresponding tab to remind the user what still needs to be filled out.

Required Fields

Fields marked with an asterisk (*) are required and must be completed before creating the listing:

  • Name

  • Description

  • Thumbnail

Once these fields are filled out, you can click "Create" to finalize your asset listing.

To ensure MOTAR 3D Holodeck compatibility, you must upload a 3D Preview.

Accepted 3D preview formats:

  • GLTF (single file) Textures and animations are supported.

You can save your progress once you’ve:

  • Uploaded a file

  • Named the listing

  • Added a description

  • Uploaded a thumbnail

This allows you to return later and complete additional fields as needed.

A listing cannot be promoted from Sandbox to Production until all required fields have been completed.

Settings

From the SETTINGS tab, you can define important technical details about your model listing.

You’ll be able to:

  • Select Geometry Type: Choose between POLYGONS or TRIANGLES

  • Enter Polycount: Specify the total polygon or triangle count for your model

  • Mark Asset Features: Indicate whether your model includes TEXTURES and/or ANIMATIONS

Textures and Animations are not required for submitting a model listing, but including them may enhance listing compatibility and appeal.

How to Manage Listing Permissions

  • Production Listings: Visibility is ON by default (publicly visible).

Digital Thread

  • The current version of the listing

  • Any future versions or remixes created from it

The DIGITAL THREAD tab provides a centralized view of a listing’s entire digital lifecycle. It captures and displays:

When creating a new listing, this tab will initially show only that listing. As you or others create new versions or remixes, those will be added to this view automatically.

You can return to the Digital Thread tab at any time by choosing to EDIT the listing from the MY LISTINGS page.

From the Digital Thread tab, users can set a listing as Authoritative or Certified—but only after it has been promoted to Production.

For more guidance on how to authorize or certify a listing, click here.

See the following links for more information on Digital Thread and the Digital Thread Iconology.

All listings remain in Sandbox until they are promoted and approved for Production. This means their authoritative or certified status cannot be applied until that transition happens.

Publish

Once all required information for a listing is complete and the listing has been saved, the PUBLISH button becomes available.

Publishing a listing moves it from Sandbox to Production, making it officially available for wider access.

After publishing, users will no longer be able to change files on the UPLOAD tab. However, you can still update:

  • Description on the INFO tab

  • Listing permissions

To publish:

  • Click the PUBLISH button.

  • The Permissions for Production modal will open.

  • Choose between:

    • KEEP CURRENT permissions

    • SET NEW permissions

  • For this example, select KEEP CURRENT and then click NEXT.

Choosing SET NEW permissions will overwrite the existing permissions for the listing.
