##Origin of the Project
This idea is the natural continuation of experiments that I made while watching the Nouns project emerge in the very first weeks. Early on, it appeared to me that these 32*32 characters would make great voxel models and could potentially be turned into 3D avatars for the metaverse. I kept making those models and posting them on Twitter as animated GIFs.
Similar to the Nouns playground, we would like to build a web app to let users create and download custom 3D Nouns. Users could pick attributes or leave the drop down to random (default value).
Think of the « build your character » screen at the beginning of a game. You compose your Noun, and can test a few animations on your build, like "walk", "run", or "dance". Once you are done, there is a download button that outputs a textured and rigged GLTF file.
This extends the ecosystem beyond 2D into the 3D world and allows for animations, games, renders and more to be built using those prefabs. It opens a world of possibilities for the nouns ecosystem and will result in more derivatives and more memes over time.
The project will be open sourced under GNU GPLv3 and all the 3D art will be available to download and use via the interface. We will share the code on Github once the project is completed. Our goal is to encourage artists and engineers to build on top of this and extend the Noun ecosystem.
In order to complete a working version of that site, we need:
A total of 32 ETH to be transferred to the address below in one full payment:
0x9c74aE08Fd4337E14786f086D911E964df35e623
Subsequent years of maintenance and future improvements/features to come in separate proposals. For future improvements, see the list below.
