While I was home sick with a cold this past week, I spent a little time wandering around Cryptovoxels (which is very easy to do, since it all runs in your web browser). Here are a few pictures I took on my travels:
There are already quite a few impressive builds, including this huge sphere, guarded by a couple of massive heads:
You might not know that Spidymonkey kindly gave me a parcel of virtual land to build on in Cryptovoxels (thanks, Spidymonkey!). He even went so far as to create a three-dimensional version of my profile picture to place on it!
And (after a bit of troubleshooting), I was able to build my first creation on my own land. My first wall!
You can choose different designs for your blocks, and you can delete previously placed blocks to make things like windows:
The way that Cryptovoxels handles colour is interesting. Essentially, you have to buy colour using cryptocurrency (or have it gifted to you). According to the documentation:
Color is a limited resource in Cryptovoxels. Any land owner can build in black and white and greyscale for no extra cost, but if you want to use color voxels or color images, you need to add some $COLR. There are three ways to get $COLR.
– Build something cool and get $COLR as a reward
– Purchase $COLR from Uniswap using Ether
– Have someone in-world add some $COLR to your parcel to say thanks
(And yes, before you say anything about my building skills…I’m a blogger, not an architect. Be kind.)
