– 3D models are the base ingredient and unsung heroes of XR experiences.
– XR magic moments that "just work" require lots of rigor around 3D models.
– This includes everything from VR game elements to NFTs to AR shopping.
– Work involves not just creation and design but file optimization and formatting.
– There are several formats and standards for 3D models... from GLTF to USDZ.
– And due to the pace of XR advancement, new standards could emerge.
– Based on all these dynamics, it's all about future-proofing 3D models.
– This can be done in thoughtful ways to maximize versatility and shelf life.
– Here, the three pillars are standardization, automation and organization.
– For standardization, it's all about formatting and metadata for compatibility.
– Once that's done, tasks can be automated when porting assets cross-platform.
– Finally, organization is all about setting up file systems that maximize versatility.
– Each of these pillars contains a set of best practices that Orgeron breaks down.
