Vertikal: Metaverse for 3D Artists
Vertikal was a metaverse platform dedicated to creating a community where 3D artists could sell NFTs and showcase work in immersive environments.
My Role
I modeled the entire 3D environment, designed the UI/UX of the website, and created the application interface.
The environment needed to be:
Visually stunning — Attracting artists and collectors Functionally intuitive — Easy navigation despite 3D complexity Technically performant — Running smoothly across devices
Current Status
Unfortunately, with the crash of the NFT market and decline of metaverse interest, the project is on hold.
