Welcome to Bonfire Builder! If you're eager to dive in and start creating, this page is your launchpad. You’ll get a high-level walkthrough of how to build your first interactive scene using Sparks, Chapters, and Maps—no code required.

This is a great place to begin if you want to learn by doing. As questions come up, the rest of our documentation offers deep dives into every feature covered here.

In just a few minutes, you’ll learn how to:

  • 🧱 Place 3D objects into your environment

  • 🗺️ Understand the difference between Map Editor and Map Explorer

  • 📚 Create a new Book, add a Chapter, and build a Map

  • ✨ Use pre-made Sparks to add interaction

  • 🧲 Link Sparks together to create cause-and-effect behaviors

  • 🔄 Set up actions like rotating or activating objects on interaction

  • 💡 Refine the scene with lighting, skyboxes, and effects to bring it to life
