This blog post serves as an overview of various interop projects M3 members have done with Space Pod, an airdrop that came from the RTFKT studios CloneX ecosystem.
If CloneX avatars were designed to be interoperable, shouldnβt the Space Pod home spaces be as well? RTKFT founders and creator community seems to think so!
jin fetched the files for his Space Pod from Oncyber and began to optimize the glb, bringing the total size from 15mb β 5mb. This is where it all starts since you can export almost anywhere from blender.
JanusWeb is perhaps the lightest weight Social XR framework made with three.js and elation engine. Custom worlds are static HTML files and the presence server is a very simple nodejs app that is easy to self-host. Itβs an OG project by M3 member @bai0 that is open source. You can view the demo here: https://pod.homespace.eth
The same files were then reused in Webaverse, an open source project by M3 founding member @webmixedreality. It also builds upon threejs and supports loading custom VRM avatars and live world editing via drag nβ drop.
The files were sliced and converted into the magicalvoxel .vox format using a blender script in order to be brought into Voxels. The parcel scenes are saved in JSON format.
Interoperability unlocks the strengths of each platform you import the files into. VRChat is renown as the king of social VR, and thus bringing the Space Pod into there allows collectors to experience the best the metaverse currently has to offer for that use case.
Neos is a metaverse engine that is sometimes described as βmultiplayer unityβ due to its powerful real-time collaborative editing capabilities. You will often see people building something in there whenever you drop in.
The interior by itself does not look good in the context of open βgridβ worlds such as Substrata, and more generally in the context of other worlds. Thereβs more ways to travel between places in the metaverse than teleporting via a 2D UI. More on this later.
Anarchy Arcade is a 3D desktop made by founding M3 member SM Sith Lord in which you can populate video game worlds with 3D shortcuts the way you would populate your operating systems desktop with shortcuts. You can check it out on steam.
Anarchy Arcade can let you live preview your shortcuts in-game, which can get pretty meta. Sith and jin later collaborate on 3D websites made with playcanvas engine inspired by much of the same functionality as Anarchy Arcade.
Sithβs exterior shell design was modeled and improved upon throughout the year.
M3 member metamike has skills with vtubing and Unreal game engine, he has published several helpful guides on converting your CloneX to VRM as well.
Some people talk about the "βWordpress of VRβ, meanwhile antpb does it literally by building directly atop of Wordpress with his plugin Three Object Viewer.
Bringing the Space Base with the interior into Webaverse.
What does CloneX and Space Pods look like in a completely open source web based viewer? M3 members were first to find out. Oncyber released VRM avatar support about 12 months later, but no word on when custom avatars will be supported.
This was a month before Dalle2 release and later the crazy AI hype that followed. You can have a conversation with any of these avatars using OpenAI or the open source GPT-J. Join us if you want to be three steps ahead of major trends.
Home Spaces smart contract made using Manifold studio, planning to release soon.
July is when the CloneX 3D files were released which we immediately began converting to VRM.
3D website / linktrees / startpages made with playcanvas engine - everything shown is a link. This 3D website was made to showcase Space Pod demos in different platforms.
3D website in a different part of the Space Pod interior as a way to chill to internet radio and watch various playlists of metaverse content: https://tv.m3org.com
