Creates a metaverse with various expressions without programming
Psychic VR Lab (Shinjuku-ku, Tokyo, CEO: Yukihiro Yamaguchi) has released a new feature for STYLY Studio, a production tool on its real metaverse platform STYLY (https://styly.cc). It is called Modifier.
*XR is a term for technologies that combine the real world with the virtual world, such as VR (virtual reality), AR (augmented reality), and MR (mixed reality).
Modifier gives you the ability to alter objects in STYLY Studio without going through a game engine, such as Unity or 3D software.
Up to 66% reduction for XR production costs with easy operation
With STYLY Studio, a production tool on the VR/AR/MR creative platform STYLY, our customers can create XR artworks in a browser using assets in STYLY Studio and materials uploaded by each individual customer.
In order to add animations and change the style of objects, our customers had to use external software like Unity.
With Modifier, our customers are able to add simple things like colors, movement and rotation to objects, or more complex things like contact and holding judgments.
Rich expressions can now be created without specialized knowledge.
It has drastically reduced the labor and time required to create XR works.

I thought it was simple and easy to use. I found it bothersome to have to go through Unity to set up complex animations, but it was convenient to be able to apply animations that I use a lot within STYLY. |

JACKSON kaki (DJ/Artist) |
The process took me a long time because I created scenes in Unity and then uploaded them to STYLY. I found this feature to be very useful. When you simply want to upload an object created with glb, etc. and then add a simple animation, you don’t have to use Unity. It was handy to be able to change the material color and add interactions to objects imported directly into STYLY using obj. It may be helpful to create the background in a scene and upload the objects and art to Prefab. |
A work created with Modifier
All interactive elements, including object movement, utilize STYLY Studio’s Modifier.
