openvoxels 2019 - A 3D model collection by m3org
Arweave backups - JSON data backups since 2021 stored on Arweave

Sketchfab is the leading 3D model sharing website on the web that many cultural institutions and museums have picked to showcase artifacts on. They offer a wide range of plugins to import models directly into your favorite 3D software easily.
With the blender plugin you can search for cryptovoxels 2019 and quickly import chunks from the 12-13-2019 dataset into your project.
We are planning to take another 3D snapshot of the world on the 3rd anniversary of the last one, 12-13-2022, and run a buildathon alongside. Join the M3 discord if you want to help us plan..
The biggest district in the collection is Frankfurt comes in at a whopping 150mb and 1.7M triangles. I took a double look when I was able to compress this model down to 3.3mb via Draco using http://gltf.report. I could still could shave 30% with gzip as well, making the final compressed version only 2.1mb. To compare with a different method, Meshopt compression only went to 25mb and broke the collision in Hyperfy.
The only complaint I heard about Draco is that the size of the WASM library decoder may outweigh size savings for geometry <1MB. If that's all then no biggie - the size difference between uncompressed and other forms of compression like meshopt is substantial in our case.
Digital preservation
glTF 2.0 is an international standard file format for 3D models
Snapshot virtual worlds like the Internet Archive Wayback machine
Create living museums
Recreate CV as it were during a period in time
Alternate realities
See how Voxels might look with diff skyboxes or weather
Sandbox for rapid prototyping
Experiment and use to pitch features
Good ideas can make their way back to main
Home space decoration (scale to tabletop size)
Mixed media art projects / 3D rendering
I want to close this with various ideas that have inspired me during this part.
