Still, it’s not easy for them to learn 3D modeling software programs like 3ds Max, Maya and Blender, developed for 3D modeling experts and professional software developers. Most Unity engine users like programmers, game designers and visual effects (VFX) artists need to make 3D assets.

If users install Tripolygon’s UModeler in Unity, the 3D modeling tools will be added to Unity, Hwang noted. Tripolygon offers 3D modeling software (UModeler), plugins (UModeler X) and more as a subscription service for the metaverse creators. The 3D modeling software is like a set of tools to make 3D assets, Hwang explained, adding that using the 3D modeling software tools users can make any kind of 3D assets, like buildings, props, items and avatars. Tripolygon was founded in 2018 by Hwang, who previously worked as a senior engineer at Crytek, a German video game developer. The Series A funding brings its total raised to $5.7 million and values the company at approximately $25 million, Hwang said. The Seoul-based startup recently has raised a $5.2 million (6.5 billion KRW) round to accelerate its growth. “Creating 3D modeling is no longer a field for experts or software developers only,” Tryipolgon CEO Jae-sik Hwang said in an interview with TechCrunch. A South Korean 3D modeling software developer called Tripolygon enables metaverse creators to make their own 3D assets using the Unity plugins.

There are a number of ways to make money in the metaverse by participating in play-to-earn games, buying virtual real estate or creating 3D assets on metaverse platforms like Roblox, AltspaceVR and VRChat.
