Artificial intelligence (AI) is a mainstay in many Web3 activities. From nonfungible token (NFT) creation to fraud detection, it is integral to the roots of what makes up decentralized technology.
Mona, a Miami-based 3D metaverse development and Web3 social platform, unveiled an AI-powered 3D generator for material design. The tool allows designers and creators on the platform the ability to input words into the AI mechanism in order to create materials for their personalized digital spaces.
The MonaAI Material Generator is similar to the AI image and design generator DALL-E. However, it focuses specifically on “seamless” and realistic textures to be used in a metaverse setting. Currently, over 4,500 designers are working on the platform who will have access to the tool, according to Mona.
Mona co-founder and CEO Justin Melillo told Cointelegraph that AI is becoming increasingly more accessible to creators and metaverse developers. Especially with tools like the aforementioned DALL-E and now Mona’s 3D materials designer, entrance barriers are further removed.
However, AI skeptics always turn to the fear of automated systems replacing human creativity. Melillo says that in the case of design and AI-assisted tools, they make building in the digital world more accessible, particularly for newcomers.
Outside of cosmetic design use cases, AI is starting to be implemented in other metaverse design strategies. Such examples include its use to solve underpopulation issues and also to create unique playable scenarios for individual users.
