- Starting points for 3d creation
- 3d scan things to bootstrap your design, add details in another program, tweak in blender
- Guest is not sure that blender is the best tool for lightweight metaverse because of high poly counts. Also concerned that it is too technical for the actual creation mechanism to go viral.
- Lots of VR building apps that have easier learning curves. bartist by zack. neosvr. shapes3d. sprayspace.art. [list more here]
- If there was a social creation layer, that would be a game changer.
- Fortnite is golf for zoomers.
- Explore gamified development w/ RARI token
- Turn Rarible into a 3d multiplayer experience
- Reference to Venice VR festival
- Sharing and distribution
- Certain platforms that you're targeting have different requirements
- Widest reach = most limited requirements
- webxr framework to distribute gives ultimate control & distribution
- awesome webxr has diff frameworks

- Monetization aspect of open metaverse
- How does open vs closed metaverse change monetization opportunities for artists?
- payout on platforms like roblox and app stores is extremely low. 30% tax etc.
- NFTs are the greatest thing ever because it's direct from artists to consumers + programmable royalties
- open metaverse builders will prob surpass larger brands because they have less baggange (guest commentary)
- mona allows u to build gallery and sell as an NFT
- having a copy of the files is essential for interop. taking your gallery to other metaverses etc
- How does open vs closed metaverse change monetization opportunities for artists?
- Social creation pipelines re-emphasized. sharing speeds up development and enables culture
- Need to keep looking for usecases to prove that blockchain (ownership) is key to open metaverse
