Artificial intelligence (AI) is a mainstay in many Web3 activities. From the creation of NFTs to fraud detection, it is part of the roots of decentralized technology.
Mona, a Miami-based 3D and Web3 metaverse development social platform, unveiled an AI-powered 3D generator for material design. The tool allows designers and creators on the platform to input words into the AI mechanism to create materials for their personalized digital spaces.
The MonaAI material generator is similar to the DALL-E AI image and design generator. However, it specifically focuses on “seamless” and realistic textures to be used in a metaverse environment. Currently, more than 4,500 designers are working on the platform and will have access to the toolaccording to Mona.
Mona co-founder and CEO Justin Melillo told Cointelegraph that AI is becoming more accessible to metaverse creators and developers. Especially with tools like the aforementioned DALL-E and now Mona’s 3D material designer, more barriers to entry have been removed.
“The goal for next year is to make these tools even more accessible to more creators.”
Nevertheless, AI skeptics always resort to the fear that automated systems will replace human creativity. Melillo says that in the case of AI-assisted design and tools, they make construction in the digital world more accessible, especially for newcomers.
“In general, AI should be seen as a tool for artists to help extend their work, not replace it. It should not replace human creativity.”
Outside of cosmetic design use cases, AI is beginning to be applied in other metaverse design strategies. For example, its use to solve underpopulation problems and also to create unique playable scenarios for individual users.
The MonaAI material generator is an AI-driven mechanism that enables high-quality uniqueness in the digital world.
Regardless of current quality, Melillo says AI is a tool that will help perpetuate Web3 adoption.
“By making tools that make the creation process easier, we can bring more users to Web3 through the work they create and share across the blockchain.”
He claims that AI plays a “critical role” in advancing Web3 and the Metaverse and pushing both into the future.
