--- title: CloneX Space Pods description: Bringing a NFT home space owned by 8100+ wallets across different platforms to better understand the meaning of ownership and interoperability. image: https://i.imgur.com/5Ev5usN.jpg robots: index, follow lang: en dir: ltr breaks: true disqus: xrdevlog --- # CloneX Space Pods {%hackmd theme-dark %} ###### tags: `devlog` Opensea: https://opensea.io/collection/cyber-factory-2 Github: https://github.com/madjin/space-pod Designed by [JarlanPerez](https://twitter.com/JarlanPerez) in collaboration with [RTFKT Studios](https://rtfkt.com/), these [oncyber](https://oncyber.io/) home space NFT art galleries were airdropped to all [CloneX](https://clonex.rtfkt.com/) holders in January 2022.   ## OnCyber Site: https://oncyber.io/ This is the original platform space pods were designed for. It's a threejs based platform you can login with your wallet into and create a virtual gallery that others can visit. WebXR mode is supported and multiplayer avatars are on their way.  Just like how CloneX is being designed for interoperability, so should the home spaces too, right? Here's an overview map of the places the space pod has been ported into so far:  **View high res: https://i.imgur.com/SskHDNB.jpg** While I was building the oncyber space pod gallery I accidentally sold the last NFT in the wallet I was signed in with which prevented me from sharing that world anymore.  When I signed into another wallet that had a spare I had to basically start over. There was no way to save the state of my old build.  It would be nice if I could somehow export a save file or glb of the space I designed so I can atleast archive my creations. --- ## Design  The model came with an optimized collision mesh as well! Here's how it looks separated from the main model.   Optimizing the textures shaved about ~10mb (!) from the original file which was ~15mb. I used [gltf-pipeline](https://github.com/CesiumGS/gltf-pipeline) to unpack and recombine back to .glb non-destructively. `gltf-pipeline.cmd -i .\space_pod.glb -s -o space_pod.gltf`  ### Exterior Doesn't look too hard to make an individual shell.  SM Sith Lord made a shell around the Space Pod. This version was to see how we think about the shape, it's not UV unwrapped or textured yet.   ### Blender Renders     In the future it'd be fun to create a design where you can fit many pods in there like an apartment building so people can be in the same complex as their friends. Long ago we crudely attempted such with [webvrchat](https://hackmd.io/@XR/webvrchat) home space. > Jin mentioned it reminds him of the modular town I built in AArcade a few months back - which is the same kind of concept except w/ a loading wall when you enter/exit buildings. Star Wars Galaxies had a similar mechanic, but the loading wall was a kind of "soft" loading wall that made all the stuff appear after you entered a house. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DUGFVh_bNUY I was actually talking about a different town that was more cyberpunk style, but similar architecture: https://twitter.com/anarchyarcade/status/1234935801684738049  The program you see is [Anarchy Arcade](https://twitter.com/anarchyarcade), a free to download 3D desktop application you can get from [Steam](https://store.steampowered.com/app/266430/Anarchy_Arcade/). Ideas in Discord: burn X pods to claim apartments with varying heights.    --- ## SubstrataVR Site: https://substrata.info Parcel: sub://substrata.info/?x=-248.5&y=215.2&z=5.6 Many virtual worlds are designed without thinking about how they might be represented in the context of another world (outside of menu or portal navigation) so they exclude having an exterior facade.     --- ## JanusWeb Github: https://github.com/madjin/space-pod Tweet: https://twitter.com/dankvr/status/1479931967101714437 Demo 1: https://madjin.github.io/space-pod/ Demo 2: https://pod.homespace.eth        --- ## Webaverse Link: https://app.webaverse.com/?src=.%2Fscenes%2Fgrid.scn       --- ## Cryptovoxels World: https://www.cryptovoxels.com/play?coords=NE@160E,86S Tweet: https://twitter.com/dankvr/status/1480720758661914626         **Update**    --- ## Mozilla Hubs - Spoke: https://hubs.mozilla.com/scenes/yF9QDEP - Hubs: https://hubs.mozilla.com/4e3YHGn/space-pod        --- ## VRChat World: https://vrch.at/lime-cathcartbeth-4924d Tweet: https://twitter.com/dankvr/status/1484060649361715200        --- ## VRland Demo: https://vrland.io/2ZrT8Z/clonex   --- ## Neos VR Site: https://neos.com/ WIP still, public world link coming soon when it's ready.      --- ## Anarchy Arcade Steam: https://store.steampowered.com/app/266430/Anarchy_Arcade/ Tweet: https://twitter.com/dankvr/status/1485391851402244111 - memory palace for gamers (3D desktop) - gets unbelievably cozier more you use it - doesn't require an internet connection - can be in background using little resources - you can export all metadata - Supports VR mode - Free Anarchy Arcade runs on Source engine which means that the pod is now compatible with other Source engine apps. AArcade is practically designed for home spaces which makes it a really powerful pair with the space pod. Take a look at the video below to see how easy it is like to decorate the home space via drag n drop. {%youtube tFslAWeW5jU %} More videos: - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tFslAWeW5jU - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-YJY-6IYFMk - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mps02OBxqw0 - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xaguogyh62g\     Getting hella recursive with these virtual worlds. In this screenshot the purple bot on the right is streaming to twitch which is what's playing on the left big screen, except the screen is him in the Anarchy Arcade space pod with MozillaHubs live browser on the wall.  Here's a closer look to show you what I mean, it's a stream of SM Sith Lord controlling Hubs from Anarchy Arcade.  https://twitter.com/dankvr/status/1485403788563267586 Been using it for 3 years, got 8100+ hrs on it. The level editing UX on AArcade is one of the best when you get the hang of it. Believe it or not this can make you more productive and organized. There's much to learn from this program. --- ## Wonderland Engine Site: https://wonderlandengine.com/   --- ## Decentraland  3x3 grid fits, but the model is too big...   --- ## Somnium Space https://somniumspace.com/parcel/3817   --- ## Unreal Engine  --- ### Website design - [3D homepages](/@xr/3d-homepages)
