Chametheon
The Ecosystem
Following the array of platform (Somnium Space) specific avatars created, Chametheon was born to connect all future interoperable metaverse assets. The Chametheon avatars were the first items to be released.
The Eighty Eight
Released in batches, 88 Chametheons were created in total all sharing the same base mesh.
Each was made unique with individual skins and other characteristics.
Social Creatures
Primarily focused on VR the aim was to create friendly characters each with their own personality and charm.
Facial Animations
Harnessing the Somnium Space Platform, gesture based animations were used, triggered from within VR via various hand signals.
Animated Skins
Beutiful animated, emmisive skins were created via custom shaders, also triggered by gestures in VR.
Armoured Chametheon
Creating an Army
Armoured versions of the CHametheons were crafted taking the final collection count to 300.
Matching Armour
Armour designs have patterns and colours matching the original 88 Chametheons.
Mixed Armour
Some Armoured CHametheons have Armoured that doesn't match the wearers skins.
Chametheon Wear
Chametheon Clothing
Following the original Chamethoen collection, clothing items were created.
Clothing Items
Individual clothing items were made to be purchased to create distinctive and unique looks.
Founders Items
Special items were created and given out to Chametheon owners.
Maximum Utility
The clothed Chametheons were the beginning of the transition to .vrm format. Many technical challenges needed to become to create the final avatars were 10MB, 10k triangles and 1 material. All clothed Chametheons formed a new collection named 'Chametheon Lab'.
Chametheon Hybrid Experiments (HX1)
88 Hybrids
To add further diversity to the Chametheon Lab collection, new hybrids were created.
Diversity
Using eight skin pattern designs and multiple colour variations the HX1 avatars are a vibrant collection.
Chametheon Lab
Chametheon Lab World
Chametheons were built with utility in mind. As well as social experiences, games were top of the agenda so the Chametheon Lab was created in Somnium Space to serve as a hub for games and competitions.
Chametheon Lab Game
Partnering with Oasis Meta Games a timetrial target shooting game was created.
Chametheon Handgun
The Chametheons needed a weapon for the Lab shooting game so the enforcer was created.
Chametheon Sub-machine Gun
The Shredder was created for future games requiring an automatic weapon.
Game Experiments
Experiments began in Unity to exploring other gaming possibilities. This work is ongoing.
Partnerships
Chametheons have been adopted by other projects such as Yauga, a well being and technology company.
