Mystic Moose will transform static NFTs into real-time 3D models

Game studio Mystic Moose, creator of Planet Mojo and Mojo Melee, enables people to convert their non-fungible tokens (NFTs) into real-time 3D models.

And after doing so, Mystic Moose will add customizable features, opening up creative possibilities for the Web3 game and its community. While traditional NFTs have typically been limited to image-based, static assets, Mojo Melee will be the first Web3 game to use actual 3D models and animations as digital collectibles, allowing users to fully express their unique style, said Mike Levine , CEO of Mystic Moose, in an interview with GamesBeat.

This could help NFTs overcome one of the major objections game developers and players have had about NFT ownership. “That is, all you really owned before was 2D images or PFPs, which weren’t really very useful if you wanted to get any use out of it,” Levine said. If you wanted to take that NFT and bring it into a game, you couldn’t do it. Now that changes with Mystic Moose’s announcement, Levine said.

“For the first time, players will be able to modify and change their owned digital collectibles on the blockchain with infinite looks and creativity, and zero transaction fees,” Levine said. “This marks the logical evolution of NFT games. Most games are made in 3D, why shouldn’t digital collectibles be too?”

Coming off a successful Champion Chest coin at Magic Eden on March 3rd, Mystic Moose is set to unveil the first phase of their 3D collectibles on March 16th, 2023.

These chests will contain four new Planet Mojo Champions, complete with real-time 3D models and animation. Players can rotate or zoom in and out on files to view them from any angle on marketplaces like OpenSea. Additionally, owning Champions unlocks them for instant play in Mojo Melee, and all future games from Planet Mojo. In the coming months, all existing Champion NFTs will also be converted to 3D.

“Our 3D ‘Mod-able’ Mojo NFTs will usher in a new era of user-generated content. By giving our players access to their 3D assets, we’re putting a lot of power in the players’ hands,” said Levine. “This is something we’re planning to support us, with creator programs and more for our community.”

3D “mod-able” Mojos can be customized using new items and collectibles to create a unique look that is completely player-owned. A wide variety of clothing options such as hats, shirts, glasses, costumes and more are available to make each Mojo truly unique. These outfit items will appear on Mojos during gameplay in Mojo Melee, fighting alongside champions in style. Mystic Moose will seek brand and IP partnerships as part of this initiative.

“Magic Eden was thrilled to host Planet Mojo’s hugely successful coin last week,” Chris Akhavan, Chief Gaming Officer at Magic Eden, said in a statement. “We love to see innovation from web3 pioneers, and where Planet Mojo takes its digital collectibles with real-time 3D models is a fantastic development for NFT gaming.”
