On CryptoCubes ( @cubescrypto ), 3D Metaverse and the worlds we are creating.

My two words about ".fbx-.gbl-.vox" - after ".jpg "🧵

With the NFTs,
We took an interest in CryptoPunks for the avatars and each avatar has became our “identity”
We took an interest in ArtBlocks for the generative art and each piece has became our “taste”
We took an interest in CryptoArt, each creation has became our “symbol”

A multilayered metaphors for our virtual worlds and identities.

But the thing I saw mostly in NFT projects was that they were mostly focused on 2D representations such as .jpg .mp4 etc.

Of course these are the way for us to discover and represent the “Crypto Culture" which can be reflected in profile pictures, avatars, cryptoart, generative art but I was also thinking of finding other ways to add a dimension to our progress using the NFTs.

These NFT projects that paved the way for us, inspired and educated me during my research and creation journey of CryptoCubes
@larvalabs CP - Identity
@artblocks_io - Generative Art
@MuseumofCrypto - Crypto Art
@JohnOrionYoung JOY - 3D/AR Art

So, I started to think about 3D AR/Metaverse Ready Collectible NFTs and try to find a connection between;

"Real multi-dimensional world" and "Potential dimensions of virtual worlds"

IRL, It’s the buildings that can first reveal the most about a place before the individuals. In architecture, we always encounter iconic buildings which shape the context and surroundings.

You can have a brief idea about the history/identity from these images right?

When it comes to learning about the history of a particular destination, a person first encounters iconic-symbolic buildings.

"Local landmarks are-in essence-silent witnesses to past eras, creations, and tastes, but they can also offer us clues to what the future holds"

From the stone pillars of the Parthenon to the concrete shells of Felix Candela, from the metal beams of the Eiffel tower to the 3D files of the projects like @decentraland @TheSandboxGame @SomniumSpace @cryptovoxels @oncyber_io

These projects were already building 3D Virtual Worlds for us so we already have a strong foundation for our 3D assets.

However, we are using 3D Spaces mostly for our 2D visualized NFTs and we aren't using the potential of using those "3D Spaces" for our "3D ready NFTs"

3D Metaverses are providing us faster and more efficient opportunities to think creatively.
Liquid identities, easily customizable places, virtual meeting points etc.

With all of the things above, when we compare our virtual worlds to real life,

CryptoCubes may have the potential to be a symbolic landmark building/statue for DAOs, Museums, Dapps, Decentralized Companies in 3D Lands.

Each of the "cubes" can be easily traded, change location, customized, and potentially be a node of 3D metaverses thanks to the NFTs and Ethereum Blockchain.

This unique characteristic of NFT, opens us a great innovation/idea addition opportunity to all that we know IRL.

Quoting from dear @TokenAngels who is inspired me

"These cubes can become nodes of the metaverse. They can spread and become fundamentals of some important buildings like when an important palace and the manor and political people come to put the first brick"

The 256 Node🧊

To give more information,
CryptoCubes started with thoughts about 3D virtual spaces and the article I wrote when I first started creating them 2+ year ago.

Like other collectible projects, cubes also have certain properties.

+Color
+Volume
+Shape

However, it is not limited to just a collectible project.

The final CryptoCube representation is a static gif.

Only 256 CryptoCubes will exist in 3D metaverses.

When a person owns a CryptoCube, they do not just get the static gif.

They also get several other files such as 3D files to use in 3D lands.

CryptoCubes have also different 2D visuals which are only available for it's owners.

CryptoCubes & Creators

Each 256 CryptoCubes meet their 256 Legendary Creators in the NFT scene.

With the all beautiful names below we are creating a "Cube Culture" together and will continue to gather more artist 🧊

Quoting from the thread master @punk6529
"NFTs are a combination of identity and social organization, with zero membership criteria, fully global, composable."

So, with @CubesCrypto, we are trying to add a third dimension and creator visions to a collectible project.

Who knows maybe one day, Dapps, NFT museums, DAOs or decentralized companies will use CryptoCubes as a symbolic building/statue or a node and will use the artworks of the creators as a "symbol" 🧊➰

Thank you so much for reading, I would appreciate all kind of feedbacks 🤍
