Let’s be on this journey together. Here is our weekly snippet of Realm development updates. We want you to see how the platform is evolving and be part of the creation process with us!
#1 — Give Us That Beautiful, Fun, & Weird Game!
Hdris and skyboxes! These two things are an essential part of the game making process. Nobody wants a blue sky and grey floor in the distance. We want mountains, trees, rocks!
How it’s Being Built
While there are many ways of going about constructing them such as rendering photos from real life, we sadly we don’t have the tech to go into space and shoot our own hdri yet. So, we delve deeper into the digital space to make our own.
With programs like Gaea, World Machine, Blender or Houdini, we can start developing our own terrain with procedural tools to help us (this is how they make movies and its awesome). So go grab some references and start developing your own terrain!
Let’s be Weird, Fun, and Beautiful
We know no one likes seeing a default sky in their digital worlds. With our own hdri and sky boxes, we can offer up expansive experiences. We can bring you to new weird and fun worlds you’ve never seen before.
#2— It’s in the Details: NFT Metadata & Interactions
How much is that NFT in the Metaverse window? Find out — and see — all the details with this development addition.
How it’s Being Built
We can parse any NFT listed on OpenSea, display its latest price, its creator, address, and more. Then, we can place it anywhere in a Realm. When interacting with it, we open up a detailed view of the asset that allows panning or zooming, just like in a gallery app or web browser.
The NFT is in the Details
Creators can easily place their art in a realm by just adding the NFTs contract address and token ID. Players can then inspect each displayed piece of art in any amount of detail they want.
#3— Displaying OpenSea Content
When you connect your wallet(s) to Realm, we’ll gather your assets using OpenSea’s API.
How it’s Being Built
When you’re cruising through Realm’s app, you can check out your profile and see all your content in one place.
Easy, Peasy, Altogether
We want to make the Realm user experience as intuitive and seamless as possible. By connecting your wallets to Realm, we’ll do the work for you. Sit back and watch: easy, peasy—it’s altogether!
