📰 What's News?

☄️ Moving through the metaverse

That’s right, you read the title correctly, a new kind of emote is making its grand debut in Decentraland during Metaverse Fashion Week!

🤔 The technicalities of interoperability

The universal scene description language (USD) and format are rapidly being adopted as a Rosetta stone to translate data among 3D tools, game engines, digital twins and ecommerce offerings.

Consumer goods giant Unilever has filed several Metaverse-related trademark applications, becoming the latest major company to do so

👩‍🎨 Builders Spotlight

This week, our the Builder Spotlight is going plural. Metaverse Fashion Week has taken the limelight this week. We sat down with not one - but four Decentraland wearable designers and explored their entry into the flourishing world of digital fashion!

"Polygonal Mind started as a game development studio, focused on lowpoly and performance, making games for PC, mobile and VR. In 2018 we discovered Decentraland via a client and found that our style and work-flow was perfect for building these new virtual worlds."

"I was originally a professional dancer and choreographer with a long career in the performing arts. With the shift in policy regarding funding for the arts I became interested in bringing my experience as an artist to the digital space."

Chestnut Bruise, WonderZone

"I really liked the idea of decentralized governance of a game and decided to pay closer attention to it. A couple months after that, Decentraland announced a hackathon which I decided to participate in and that got me into the ecosystem. I never left."

Malloy, Decentraland

"Don’t rush. If you’re experienced as a 3D artist but are not familiar with tri count limitations/texture optimization methods, do some reading, search sites like polycount (both forums and wiki). As DCL grows I feel more and more experienced artists will rock up and if people want to keep up with quality they’ll need to take time on their craft vs pumping out wearables without the intent on improving. I am always learning and striving to find the best methods to get from A to B. Feed your curiosity! (cliche but it’s true!)"
