IntroThis 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, shouldn’t the Space Pod home spaces be as well? RTKFT founders and creator community seems to think so! https://twitter.com/benitopagotto/status/1485389338955464709 jin fetched the files for his Space Pod from Oncyber and began to optimize the glb, bringing the total size from 15mb → 5mb. This is where it all starts since you can export almost anywhere from blender. https://twitter.com/dankvr/status/1475641351983316996JanuaryJanusWeb 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. It’s an OG project by M3 member @bai0 that is open source. You can view the demo here: https://pod.homespace.eth https://twitter.com/dankvr/status/1479931967101714437 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 n’ drop. https://twitter.com/dankvr/status/1479957394927017988 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. https://twitter.com/dankvr/status/1480720758661914626 https://twitter.com/dankvr/status/1480410785440485384 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. https://twitter.com/dankvr/status/1484702747144425478 Neos is a metaverse engine that is sometimes described as “multiplayer unity” due to its powerful real-time collaborative editing capabilities. You will often see people building something in there whenever you drop in. https://twitter.com/dankvr/status/1485102420283826182 The interior by itself does not look good in the context of open ‘grid’ worlds such as Substrata, and more generally in the context of other worlds. There’s more ways to travel between places in the metaverse than teleporting via a 2D UI. More on this later. https://twitter.com/dankvr/status/1484922483639783428? 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. https://twitter.com/dankvr/status/1485399050295906304 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. https://twitter.com/dankvr/status/1485400806136422407 Sith’s exterior shell design was modeled and improved upon throughout the year. https://twitter.com/dankvr/status/1486711006474608645 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. https://twitter.com/itsmetamike/status/1486951436428533766FebruarySome people talk about the "‘Wordpress of VR”, meanwhile antpb does it literally by building directly atop of Wordpress with his plugin Three Object Viewer. https://twitter.com/antpb/status/1490476379980406787 Bringing the Space Base with the interior into Webaverse. https://twitter.com/dankvr/status/1493434349584273408MarchWhat 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. https://twitter.com/itsmetamike/status/1508778708240240645JuneThis 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. https://twitter.com/dankvr/status/1534420936933445632 Home Spaces smart contract made using Manifold studio, planning to release soon. https://twitter.com/dankvr/status/1550542373746536450JulyJuly is when the CloneX 3D files were released which we immediately began converting to VRM. https://twitter.com/dankvr/status/1544107587016310785September3D 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. https://twitter.com/dankvr/status/1573865546008956928December3D 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 https://twitter.com/dankvr/status/1600191320315686913Noteshttps://hackmd.io/@XR/clonex-pods
