How to create NFT assets for the metaverse

Creating a virtual game for the metaverse

Billy Blue students were challenged to create NFTs for the metaverse – and the results are out of this world.

Most often you’ll hear about NFTs in digital art, but all kinds of things can be represented as an NFT – from fashion to videos to games and even spaces.

The question is: how do you create a virtual asset for the metaverse in the first place?

The team at Punkee wanted the inside scoop, so they challenged our students to show us all how it’s done.

Introducing the talented 3D designers, game developers, fashion designers, filmmakers and interior designers whose creations are nothing short of stellar.

How to create a metaverse game

Meet Isabella Bonazza and Daniel Pieri: Game Design and Development gurus

Part of a wider team that included Ryan Holm, Nathan Ivanoff and Xavier Managreve, Game Design and Development students Isabella and Daniel developed Toy Rumble – a PC Arena Fighting Game. To create the game, the team leveraged the technical skills they gained during their studies and turned to industry-standard software such as Unreal Engine 4, Substance Painter, Substance Designer, Maya, plus Adobe Photoshop and Audition to bring their vision to life.

Want to produce your own game for the metaverse? Start by studying our Bachelor of Game Design and Development or Bachelor of Software Engineering (Game Programming).

How to create NFT clothing for the metaverse

Meet Thomas Saint-Cyr and Edwina Leeper: Masters of 3D Fashion Design

In his final year of studying Branded Fashion Design, Thomas created Form Through Adversity, a stunning collection that focused on the fluidity of movement, richness of texture and boldness of patterns. Thomas teamed up with Game Design and Development student, 3D artist and Houdini specialist Edwina to give one of his outfits the virtual treatment – and make it metaverse-ready.

If you want to create your own virtual outfit for the metaverse, we suggest studying our Bachelor of Branded Fashion Design or our Bachelor of Game Design and Development.

How to create a virtual space for the metaverse

Meet Lynuz Macalalad: Interior Design expert, now virtual space technologist 

Working his way through a Diploma of Interior Design and Decoration, Lynuz learned the importance of human-centred design early on. It’s a principle he now applies to all his work, including the Tactile Entertainer space, for which he’s created a virtual walkthrough. 

With the rise of the metaverse, experiencing property and interior designs virtually has reached new heights. From moodboarding to modelling in SketchUp and exporting the final walkthrough in Adobe Premiere Pro, Lynuz shows us what it takes to create a virtual space that can be experienced within the metaverse.

If you want to learn more about virtual walkthroughs and the tools our students use to create them, look at our Interior Design courses.
