Create Nodes by Uploading Files

Upload a file from the Add Node menu, and the system automatically creates the matching node type.

·Musein Team

The Add Node menu is not just for picking node types — it also accepts file uploads. Drop a file and the system detects its type, then creates the right kind of node automatically.

Where to find it

Right-click anywhere on the canvas or use the left toolbar to open the Add Node menu. The Upload button at the bottom of the menu is the entry point. You can also drag and drop files directly onto the canvas for the same result.

Supported file types

The upload feature detects the actual file type and picks the matching node:

  • Image.jpg .png .webp and more → Image node
  • Video.mp4 .webm and more → Video node
  • Audio.mp3 .wav and more → Audio node
  • 3D model.glb .gltf .obj .fbx and more → 3D World node
  • Text / Script.txt .md .docx .pdf .html .srtText node

You don't need to know what type of node the file will become — it all happens automatically.

Upload vs Asset Library

For one-off files, uploading directly from the Add Node menu is the fastest path. If you need to reuse the same file across projects, save it to the asset library after uploading.

Common use cases

  • Drag a reference image onto the canvas to create an image node
  • Upload a script file (.docx or .pdf) to extract text and create a text node
  • Import 3D models for scene building
