Think beyond the screen.
I’m used to making things for a browser. Watching people build for VR and physical spaces opened up a few more possibilities.
FIELD NOTES / 3D HACKATHON
Humbled in every dimension.
My first 3D hackathon. No prize, a lot to take home.
@advmsyed2.4KWHAT I BROUGHT
LISA Sawadika
A 3D boxing game inspired by LISA’s “Sawadika.” Music gave me the starting point. A game gave people a way to be part of it.
Try it yourself ↗WHAT I TOOK HOME
The room changed my perspective.
VR, physical objects, a car racing game, even an AI slop blind box. Seeing everyone else’s projects made me rethink where mine could go.
Ask how it was made.
I could try people’s projects and ask them questions right there. That taught me more than guessing from a demo.
Bring something anyway.
My game didn’t win. It still got me into a room full of people I could learn from.
TOOLS TO EXPLORE
Meet Tripo & World Labs.
The day started with talks from both teams. Here’s a quick introduction.
Tripo
Turns text or images into 3D models. A place to start when you have an idea for an object or character.
Start your first 3D project My referral linkWorld Labs
Builds AI for creating and understanding 3D spaces. Its tool Marble generates worlds you can explore from text, images, or video.
