As of Jan 2022, the FVM Forum will be merging into the Filecoin Community Discussion here, as FVM and Filecoin often go hand-in-hand for builders

Hello everyone, we are a team of dedicated Web3 Jedis, and we are building Mark3d.xyz to provide essential tools for the new 3D internet.

Mark3d is a Web3 engine with a complete set of tools to connect the spatial web with NFT, DeFi, and DAO protocols. The goal of Mark3d is to become a universal economic toolkit for the interoperable Metaverse.

Mark3d has a target audience that can be divided into two groups:

• 3D creators. This audience includes architects, industrial designers, game designers, landscape designers, fashion designers, civil engineers, and others who work with 3D modelling;
• Virtual worlds creators. This audience includes games and virtual world/scene developers.

Why is it useful for 3D creators? Mark3d enable users of 3D programming software to upload their 3D models to any virtual world like Decentraland, Somnium, ARhead, and others and monetize them. In the future, Mark3d will help to convert all widespread 3D formats into .glb/.gltf or .usdz files and, after that, into NFT. The unique technical feature is that any NFT has three layers, so the creator can add any file into the hidden folder and access rights will belong only to the owner of the NFT:

• Public Data Layer using IPFS;
• Private Data Layer using Filecoin;
• Computation Layer using FVM.

Why is it useful for startups and companies who are building virtual worlds? Mark3d provides tools such as SDK, smart contracts, API, and Oracles for games and virtual world (e.g. metaverse) developers. Mark3d maintains FVM, Ethereum, and Polygon blockchains. Bridges into other blockchains will be added in the future.

Mark3d Alpha which will be deployed on FVM in November, includes four blocks:

• Metaverse Explorer - an informative and complete list of all existing 3D virtual world projects with their technical requirements;
• 3D Market - interface and smart contracts for viewing, minting, and listing NFTs on FVM with a feature to upload files of any size into a hidden folder on Filecoin. When NFT is sold, access rights are also transferred;
• Namespaces - by minting .3d domains, early adopters will join the DAO. In the future, we have a vision that it will make a lot of sense to let any community member attach their virtual space to a .3d domain;
• MetaEdem - our own fantastic magic virtual world, a digital Edem Garden for the first 3D creators of the Metaverse. If smart contracts are the heart of Mark3d, then Meta Space is the soul of our project.
