Coastline Canvas: Remixable Gallery Tour

Coastline Canvas Tour: remixable gallery + Tour Buggy kit. Swap and move frames, or boost them into the sky. Trigger-guided rides cover air and ground. Fast setup, no nav volumes, built to remix.

Inspiration

Galleries are timeless, but building them shouldn’t be. We wanted to make it effortless for Horizon Worlds creators to build a gallery and give visitors a smooth, cinematic tour, with no advanced scripting required. That’s how Coastline Canvas: Remixable Gallery Tour and the Easy Tour Buggy System were created.

Team: 2ndLife Rich from HumAi LLC

What it does

  • Remixable gallery world: swap picture frame images quickly; place frames anywhere on the ground or use rocket-booster frames to float art in the air.
  • Tour Buggy asset: trigger-guided transport across the ground and in the air; players can pause anytime.
  • Modes: Spawn UI (despawns at end) or Always Visible (resets/loops).
  • Creator controls: speed, route, turn angles, pause/resume, and end-of-path behavior (despawn via Spawn UI mode or reset via Always Visible mode), picture frame photos, water fountain speed.
  • No navigation volume gizmo required.

How It Was Built

The buggy moves forward on a set axis and re-orients when it hits a guidance trigger. Creators edit routes by moving/adding triggers and setting turn parameters. We exposed clean script props for speed, rotation, and behavior. Frames use simple texture swaps; the rocket variant adds boosters for aerial placement. An custom water fountain is included as an art piece.

Challenges

  • Stabilizing player transport (early physics → jitter) → switched to geometry-guided approach.
  • Camera jerkiness → smoothing + path refinements.
  • Navigation Volume Gizmo too difficult to use and couldn't get it to work for air movement → trigger system solved it.
  • Water Fountain → rotating mesh + tuned texture for continuous flow.

Accomplishments

  • A working air/ground tour system that beginners can route with triggers.
  • Plug-and-play picture frames for fast gallery creation.
  • Buggy spawning and despawning system
  • A polished world that feels great to explore.

What I learned

How to create a vehicle system, how to create flowing water animation; and how to package documentation/licensing for open competition submissions.

What’s next for Coastline Canvas: Remixable Gallery Tour and the Easy Tour Buggy System

We intend on maintaining the project, and continue to update it

How to remix / setup (QuickStart)

  1. Remix Coastline Canvas Tour.
  2. Frames: replace textures; move on the ground or use the Rocket Frame prefab for aerial placement.
  3. Tour Buggy: choose Spawn UI or Always Visible in props.
  4. Place/move: Guidance Triggers; set each trigger’s heading/turn values.
  5. Tune speed, turn rate, and pause behavior in props.
  6. End of route: Despawn Trigger (Spawn) or Stop/Reset Trigger (Always Visible).
  7. Tune speed for the Water Fountain.
  8. Publish as Public and Optimized for Web & Mobile.

Evaluation Criteria Alignment

  • Reusability: Drop-in Buggy + frames; edit routes by moving triggers—no nav volumes.
  • Modularity: Separate, parameterized components (buggy, triggers, frames, rocket frames, fountain).
  • Documentation: This story + README with setup, parameters, and path editing.
  • Impact: Speeds up gallery builds; teaches trigger-guided transport; extendable for exhibits/events.
