MAX, glTF, or GLB.Ī platform to store, edit, and export your 3D assets can be very useful.

The most common file formats for 3D models are. It helps to know what you intend the model to be used for, whether it’s a video game asset or for AR, or another use. The 3D model will need to be in a file format that can be easily shared and useful to the purchaser. If the model was made by a third party, a discussion of ownership should be included in the contract to avoid legal trouble down the road.

That doesn’t necessarily mean that the seller had to be the creator. In order to sell a 3D NFT, the person minting the NFT must own the model and have the rights to sell it. The smart contract will determine the terms of the sale, and may also detail what the buyer is allowed to do with the digital asset (commercial rights, for example), and the token will be transferred to the owner. If they find a buyer, the creator of the token (presumably the rightful owner of the digital item) makes money. Then they will list that token of ownership on an NFT marketplace where it can be purchased. Minting means creating the token and registering it on the blockchain network so that the record is solid and intact. To create an NFT, the creator of a digital item will “mint” an NFT (token). Think of it like a certificate of authenticity and a bill of sale for a digital asset all rolled into one. And the NFT itself is not technically the digital asset it is tied to at all. In case you are just getting started in the NFT space, let’s quickly review what NFTs are and how a digital asset becomes an NFT. While we’ve discussed NFTs before in our blog, we haven’t looked specifically at 3D NFTs and how they can operate.

Music files, images, mp4s, documents, and other forms of digital art including 3D models can be NFTs. Nearly any digital asset can be minted as an NFT.
