Hi, i’m Stephane, i work with native youth in native communities in Canada. I made a lot of projects in AR in the past with META spark studio. I want to use 8thwall for my next workshops. I want to know if i can work offline because some communities dont have internet. I want to know if i can export a project without publishing online ? Lot a communities are very aware about sensible content we use in our projetcs (photgrammetry of culturals object), they dont want to share online some of those culturals objects because its something whe cants put on internet for spiritual reasons. Let me know please. Thank you in advance

Hi Stephane, welcome to the forums!

If you’d like to build the project on your own servers you would have to self-host. However there isn’t a way to export an existing project to self-host it.

i think you can use selfhosted, and create use localhost but web AR need internet.  
because web based need connect aframe, three.js and CDN from 8thwall.  
there’s no way not use internet.
