BITPOINT Latam is continuing to expand its services in Latin America, a market that is seeing rapid growth in cryptocurrency adoption. BITPOINT’s executives have stated that their recent focus on the Japanese market is part of their plan to increase education and commercial activity in the cryptocurrency space.

MEDELLÍN, Colombia – December 26, 2022 – (Newswire.com)

BITPOINT Latam, with its origins from JFSA-licensed BITPOINT Japan, launched Japanese Weeks for its crypto users in Latin America, a period of education and commercial activities aimed at promoting the use, trading, and development of new cryptocurrency-based products in Latin America.

According to the latest Chainalysis’ Global Adoption report, Latin America is one of the fastest-growing regions in terms of crypto adoption. Remittances, Investment and hedging from inflation and local currencies devaluations are driving crypto adoption in the region. Venezuela, Argentina, Colombia, Brazil and Ecuador are the countries with the highest use of crypto in Latin America.

“Our Japanese Weeks are aimed to build the necessary knowledge and crypto culture for the development of the industry in Latin America. The adoption is evolving fast because Bitcoin and other crypto assets have the fundamentals to help people to hedge from the structural failures of the archaic Latin America’s financial system. It is time to build a brand new way of banking for emerging markets and Latin America is the perfect scenario for that,” said Julian Geovo, Operations Director of BITPOINT for Latin America.

BITPOINT’s Japanese Weeks will run from Dec. 26 to Jan. 31.

BITPOINT landed in Panama in 2018 and started its regional expansion in Latin America. BITPOINT Latam is currently the most widespread cryptocurrency exchange in the region, with active operations in Colombia, Panama, Ecuador, Peru, Guatemala, El Salvador, Costa Rica, the Dominican Republic, Mexico, Brazil, Argentina, and Paraguay.

“We are proud of our Japanese heritage. The strong operational know-how and compliance policies have helped us to become the crypto exchange with the largest presence in Latin America. We are currently working with local regulators to make crypto safe for users and transparent for authorities in this side of the world, too. We thank our Japanese partners BITPOINT and its Tokyo stock exchange listed mother company, Remixpoint Inc, including distinguished directors Genki Oda, Yoshihiko Takahashi and Yuji Nakagomi for all their support,” added Geovo.

CGTrader, the world’s leading 3D and digital content provider, announces it is releasing Kodama, a new plugin to make 3D artists’ lives easier.

ORLANDO, Fla. – December 23, 2022 – (Newswire.com)

Kodama is a plugin for 3D artists who want to simplify their participation in CGTrader’s 3D creation platform, called Modelry. The plugin is currently available for Modelry and Wildcat artists and will soon be available for CGTrader’s Marketplace. It helps artists create technically correct assets and is fully configurable to suit different platforms and clients’ needs.

In addition to the plugin, CGTrader is also releasing its work on the underlying asset validation checks library as an open source repository. Pipeline developers and companies with technical departments can use the repository to build their own tools or validation pipelines based on CGTrader’s core. Additionally, everything is based on Blender, enabling the whole pipeline to be built for free.

CGTrader plans to extend the checks repository in the future to create even more robust and flexible tools. Currently, the repository is being shared as-is, but the company intends to turn it into a fully open source project. They plan to manage contributions and create a common library used across the industry so that everyone can create high-quality, reusable 3D content.

Currently, the team at CGTrader is sharing the core of their Kodama tool – the checks. In the future, they might consider sharing UI components as well, but for now, most of them are coupled with their platform-specific features.

Kodama is a valuable new tool for 3D artists, and the open source repository on asset validation checks is a valuable resource for the industry. CGTrader is constantly working to improve and evolve its offerings, as well as helping the industry to create high-quality 3D content.

Check out asset validation checks library on Github. To learn more about CGTrader, please visit www.cgtrader.com.

World’s largest provider of 3D content revises platform to drive creation, streamline access of metaverse-ready models

ORLANDO, Fla. – December 22, 2022 – (Newswire.com)

In response to the growing demand for 3D models that are optimized for use in virtual reality environments, CGTrader, the world’s largest marketplace for 3D content, is building processes that will encourage creation of 3D model “building blocks” of the system and make it simpler and faster for companies developing metaverse projects to find and purchase those models.

The metaverse is a virtual shared space that may be the next generation of the internet. It is created using a combination of technologies, including virtual reality (VR), augmented reality (AR), head-mounted displays, artificial intelligence, and more.

These virtual spaces need 3D models as their building blocks, and CGTrader has started seeing a growing market demand, especially from major players like Meta, Nvidia, and others. However, different platforms can have different requirements, and 3D assets are complex. 

In response to that demand and to speed and streamline development of the metaverse, CGTrader is building dedicated listing pages for metaverse software packages and launching a process to rapidly increase the number of compatible 3D models. 

In the first phase, a marketplace model review already has populated the new listing pages with batches of 3D models dedicated to specific metaverses or use cases like Unity, Unreal and TikTok. The second phase will allow the CG Trader designer community of more than 90,000 designers to participate by applying for specific models to have metaverse badges, which can rapidly increase the number of models listed for specific metaverses or use cases.

CGTrader’s third phase is building an automated 3D model validation pipeline to compare and check models to specific requirements, with the ability to convert models into selected specifications.

“Combining all three of these phases, we can grow the number in each category very significantly,” said CGTrader CEO Dalia Lasaite. “This initiative also will help creators, by improving access to the tools for 3D model design for people who have an aesthetic vision but may not yet have developed advanced technical skills.”

CGTrader’s listing structure begins with a focus on six metaverses/other digital platforms categories: 

• Spark AR, an augmented reality platform from Meta, for Mac OS and Windows, that lets users create AR effects for mobile cameras; 
• Snap AR, technology owned by Snapchat’s parent company that creates AR assets from existing product photography;
• Omniverse, Nvidia’s suite of cloud services for artists, developers and enterprise teams to build metaverse applications;
• EffectHouse, TikTok’s tool for creating, publishing and sharing AR effects for TikTok;
• Unity, a cross-platform game engine that is used to create interactive 3D experiences for a wide range of platforms;
• Unreal Engine, a game engine developed by Epic Games that is used to create high-quality 3D graphics and immersive environments.

CGTrader currently lists more than 42,000 metaverse-compatible models available across the six categories, with the number growing daily.  

“Introducing these metaverse 3D model categories will be a good step forward to building more content compatible with all the new digital initiatives, and to initiating collaborations with the leading platforms on how to build more relevant content ready-to-use on their products,” Lasaite said. “The demand on each of the dedicated pages will indicate to us where the market is moving and what type of content our designer community should focus on.”

CGTrader’s next steps, Lasaite said, will be continued work with the designer community to increase the supply, improving the UX of the content users to find what they need, working with the platforms on building more use cases, and sharing those use cases with the 3D community.
