Once you login to SpaceDraft you’ll be taken to the My Projects page. Depending on how new you are to SpaceDraft you may or may not have any projects in this space, but when Projects are made, you will find them here.

To create a new project click the ‘+ Create Project’ button or click on the box that says ‘Create A New Project’

From here you can either click ‘Get Setup’ or ‘Start From Scratch’

‘Get Setup’ – Will walk you through the set up process. (We recommend clicking on this one, as it streamlines the process and makes everything easy to understand.)
‘Start From Scratch’ – Is for those who have more actively used SpaceDraft and don’t need any help with setting up their project.

Getting Started – ‘Get Setup’

When clicking ‘Get Setup’ you will be guided through the process of setting up the time and space within your project.

  1. Pick Your Theme: Browse through the various themes and pick one that suits your project best. Picking a theme will show you backgrounds and pins that best fit that theme. If you don’t see a theme that fits your project, just click custom.
  2. Set Your Space: Have a look through our different backgrounds and decide which one works best for your project. You can also upload your own images or use a real world map for your background.
  3. Set Your Time: What time will your scene take place in? Browse the different options and pick the one that will help bring your idea to life.
