Benefits Baking lightmaps to diffuse is a very cumbersome process that also bloats the project up, having separate UV for lightmap allows artists to create beautiful scenes that are performant. In addition, having lightmaps this way enables artists to utilize the workflows they are already using.

0N1Force 3D Avatars Author: jin#6455 / @dankvr on Twitter whoami: Lifelong interest in open source and p2p tech, got into VR and crypto during early 2010's. I do a ton of research / documentation / experiments primarily on metaverse interop and webxr Curated this list: https://github.com/m3-org/awesome-metaverse My site where you can view projects cooking is https://xrdevlog.com/ Through MeebitsDAO I worked close with Larva Labs on rigging and making all 20k Meebits into usable avatars, see tweet: https://twitter.com/larvalabs/status/1455644953204469760

Book of Voxels Community Member of M3 (Metaverse Makers _*): https://github.com/m3-org What is this? gm, I needed a better way of organizing all of the notes I had on Cryptovoxels: a virtual world on the Ethereum blockchain created by Ben Nolan. Hopefully it can be useful to others interested in 3D web, Ethereum, WebXR, and metaverse interoperability also 😎 If you ever want to chat you can reach me @dankvr on Twitter or jin#6455 on Discord.

Virtual Productions Part 2 Link to part 1: https://xrdevlog.com/podcast.html We're building a complex of real-time animation studios inside of free multi-user virtual reality platforms. Part of our research is about how networked avatars for remote collaboration saves time in the production process and democratizes content creation further. The bigger vision is to completely virtualize the physical soundstage itself and build a portal hub of these worlds relevant to productions (soundstages, galleries, avatar change rooms, studios, etc). Adoption of this technology in bigger studios is being limited due to the fact that the real-time process is turning into a situation where many people are worried they'll be automated out of a job. For indies however, there has never been a more opportune moment where the playing field is leveling at an accelerating rate. Overall, it's the application of real-time animation in a VR environment that has the most potentially disruptive effect on Hollywood, since it can be used to create a virtual studio to create TV shows, training videos, and so forth.

Can’t we have the best of both worlds? Local-first ideals include the ability to work offline and collaborate across multiple devices, while also improving the security, privacy, long-term preservation, and user control of data.

image "Why do you care so much about cryptovoxels anyways? It's so niche" I was recently asked this, so lemme explain: It was the first NFT I bought (sentimental value) First live platform integrating smart contracts / virtual worlds (launched April 1st, 2018) First NFT 3D avatar wearables (late 2019 - early 2020) Many legendary cryptoartists / collectors first metaverse experienceLand was cheaper and platform was live <2 years before DCL

Recommended to watch on Youtube at 2x speed: https://youtu.be/T4qxx1tVkFE (00:00:00) Background on CryptoVoxels and its role as a pioneer in blockchain-based virtual worlds and wearable NFTs. (00:13:15) Efforts to enhance wearables metadata, file formats, and decentralized hosting to ensure long-term preservation and interoperability. (00:28:33) Exploring potential paths forward for updating existing wearables collections, including upgrading metadata and creating a single snapshot collection. (00:51:31) The benefits of making CryptoVoxels an accessible avatar creation platform and the importance of allowing export to other metaverses. (01:04:26) Addressing the challenges of properly attributing individual creators in collaborative community wearable collections. (01:07:42) Next steps and future plans, including creating a museum-like wearables collection, exploring community ownership models, and integrating with other avatar builders and metaverse platforms.
