Building the mira world
How is the Mira World built? How do you make it?
Creators use Cad data, 3D models, Lidar Scans, photogrammetry, 3D Libraries, architect drawings, 3d capturers, drone photography, artist drawings and photography to build the world much like you would do for VFX or architecture visualization. Then, the assets are imported into a game engine to finalize materials, lighting, physics simulations and interactivity giving it a high level of realism as well as magic components. From a technical standpoint, the Mira World is a video game.
What cities will be built after New York and Paris?
Creators are working on multiple cities. Tokyo and Seoul may be next, who knows?
Is the Mira World interoperable?
Since Mira is built on Unreal Engine, all interoperability capabilities of Unreal will be ported into the Mira World.
Is the Mira World persistent?
The Mira World will have persistent aspects (avatars and environments, photos) and non–persistent aspects.
Is it easy to build, customize and modify spaces in the Mira World?
For the time being, the Mira World is built by a community of world class artists and Unreal Developers. Shortly, it will be increasingly easy for users to become creators, import their content and customize their environments without game engine knowledge.
