Revolutionizing UGC: Exciting Updates for Creators
We're excited to share some fantastic improvements to our User-Generated Content (UGC) process! Our dedication to nurturing creativity and inclusivity lies at the core of these changes.
We've refined the technical and design specifications, making it more straightforward for creators of all skill levels to bring their ideas to life. Additionally, we've upgraded our validation tool to ensure your creations adhere to the highest standards and guidelines.
Our commitment extends to both newcomers and experienced designers, empowering them to express their creativity and contribute to our dynamic community. Your imagination is the only limit, and we look forward to seeing your upcoming creations!
Validator Menu Update
We've enhanced the Validator Tool by adding "Legacy Structure Ornaments" and "Legits" sections. If you’re creating ornaments for any of our seven legacy structures, the Legacy Structure Ornament section is your go-to. Meanwhile, while "Legits" is a fresh concept in UGC, we're rolling out Specs and the Tool for you to explore and craft Legit objects for Upland.
Updated Example Files
We've revamped the example files for all model types Upland supports. To grasp the intricacies of design, please download and scrutinize each NFT and LOD file.
Extended Discord Office Hours
Great news! Our office hours in the #upland-ugc Discord channel are now between Monday and Friday. So, anytime you have a question, drop it to the Upland 3D team. Also, our dedicated Friday afternoon Office Hours remain in place for in-depth discussions.
