📄️ What is the Card Designer?
ELYSIUM is a no-code AR worldbuilding platform. The Card Designer is the part of ELYSIUM that lets anyone — without any 3D modeling experience — build cards that can be deployed into augmented reality. It runs entirely in your browser and gives you a real-time 3D preview, so what you see is exactly what you get.

Once you have an ELYSIUM account, you can save your designs to the cloud and manage them from the Projects panel in the right sidebar.
📄️ Sharing and Privacy
The Card Designer gives you two ways to share your designs and full control over who can access them.
