Problem

Create was developed to address the challenges faced by users in creating and customizing 3D virtual metaverse spaces. The process of space creation requires technical expertise, which is a barrier for many users who lack the necessary skills. Additionally, the existing tools for creating and customizing spaces are often limited in functionality and do not support the integration of multimedia files, 3D objects, and NFTs.

The lack of a user-friendly platform that simplifies the process of space creation and customization has resulted in limited interaction between users and spaces. This has hindered the growth of virtual metaverse communities and economies as technical experience with Unity was a barrier. Create democratized the way 3d world builders, 3d artists, and game builders create virtual spaces and allow anyone to build and publish a metaverse space in a short amount of time with no prior experience.

Solution

Create is a web-based application that simplifies the process of creating and customizing 3D virtual metaverse spaces. The platform offers functionalities to import, place, and edit both tokenized and non-tokenized 2D and 3D objects, multimedia files, functionality, and NFTs directly into spaces. This reduces the need for technical expertise while encouraging more interaction between users and spaces.

The tool supports AI text to 3d asset builder, AI-powered NPC character, animation support, interactivity support for assets for building games, load metaverse Spaces in blockchain wallet and template Spaces, edit and build in Spaces, import 2D . As it evolves further it will support a permission system multi-chain multi-wallet approaches as well as concepts like Asset Packs to fuel an economy surrounding Space customization.
