I like the idea, and I do see a need for this. The builder has very old assets and I’d like to see new options that are optimized for use in Decentraland because of the very specific triangle limitations here. There are just some gaps in this proposal that don’t quite show how it will be implemented. I feel like it would be helpful to show us a proof-of-concept first before asking for this sum of money. I’ve had the same idea that we need a marketplace to buy assets to deploy in world… but then someone pointed out that once you send the GLB file, the buyer can just share it with anyone. It’s not like a wearable NFT that has a specific hash and must stay in one wallet. Once people have that GLB they can then use it to make small tweaks and turn it into their own assets.

So in that regard, can you clarify whether you will be offering all these assets for free for anyone to download? Will you charge money for them and you personally profit? Or will you charge money that will go directly back to the DAO?

I checked out your GitHub repository but there isn’t much there to see. I would suggest maybe deploying some example assets to a DCL World so that we can visit there ourselves, and look at the quality of your 3D modeling skills. Do you have any examples of assets you’ve built already? I personally think you need to have some kind of portfolio of your work to share when asking for a grant of this size. Best of luck to you!

Hi @Canessa I honestly appreciate your comment and point out what is lacking and unclear,
i hope community members would do the same and suggest what can make it more valuable.

These assets will be free of use for the community i don’t have any intention to sell any assets that will be produced by this project, most of my past decentraland builds are posted on my twitter zCayel (@zBrightlight) / Twitter, there are proof of concepts there that can support the fact that i can deliver these assets, https://twitter.com/zBrightlight/status/1527375239377629217?s=20, https://twitter.com/zBrightlight/status/1578516818603352065?s=20.

This is my world, builds that are in here are built on different times (Decentraland) so it needs to be updated as one.

Let me also have this opportunity to ask everyone in the community to let me revise my proposal and make it more valuable and clearer with my updated world that compliments the themes above.

Once again i appreciate you miss Canessa for being a thoughtful member of this community, thank you!

Keep building and do what you do after this proposal. The more content we see the more people will appreciate your work and if you are going to do a new proposal in the future try to include images
Amsterdan Decentraland [ GITHUB ] maybe use my github as an example :smiley:
