Apart from this, this module gives an overview of Blockchain, the history of blockchain over the years, the need for decentralization in MV, and Blockchain in the Metaverse. Finally, the module ends by explaining some important blockchain and crypto-based concepts such as tokens, NFT, NFT token standards, the importance of NFTs in MV, and the role of cryptocurrency in MV.

Prerequisite for Developing Metaverse

The third module of this course helps in understanding the prerequisite for developing Metaverse. The student will learn about the main elements that are important for developing Metaverse and the setting of the environment for developing a Metaverse application. The module further covers the basics of blockchain and all the important concepts and elements of blockchain. Finally, there is a part dedicated to explaining Metamask, Solidity, testing & compiling smart contracts.

3D Model Development

The fourth module of this course is all about 3D model development in Metaverse. The students will get to learn about all the fundamental rights from setting the development environment all the way to important tools, their functions, and their use. Since the module is 3D-related, there are also some exercises for hands-on experience.

The module starts with step-by-step instructions to help install Blender, get familiar with setup and complete interface, and some 3D modeling fundamentals, i.e., edit mode, sculpt mode, modifiers, and 3D modeling exercise. Apart from this, the module also introduces some important concepts and tools like editing tools, 3D animation fundamentals, 3D animation physical simulation, basics of rigging and armatures, 3D rendering, and ways to add 3D objects into photos and 3D texture projections. Finally, the module ends with other 3D concepts like camera tracking, creating a 3D environment, and creating NFT art and avatars.

Developing Web-based Metaverse

The fifth module of this course focuses on developing web-based metaverse. The module starts with the prerequisite, mentioning all the tools and software that are important for setting the environment for developers. Then, the module dwells deeper into defining and explaining the fundamentals of the Three.js library, the basics of the Three.js library demo, ways to build 3D objects on the web, and also explores some classic and advanced 3D techniques. The module ends with some advanced topics within metaverse development, like shaders, WebGL, and ways to build a 3D website.

Hardware Integration

The sixth module of the course covers hardware integration, which is important for making development possible in the metaverse.
