kNFT Factory: 2D to 3D Asset Publisher #
Overview
The 2D to 3D Asset Publisher is an advanced module within the Kondux kNFT Factory system, enabling the transformation of 2D images and NFTs into fully interactive 3D tokenized assets. Leveraging the DNA-based dynamic asset protocol, this tool extends the lifecycle and utility of static collectibles by generating game-ready, metaverse-compatible kNFTs from flat artwork.
Built atop the Simple Minter and 3D Asset Publisher subsystems, the 2D to 3D Asset Publisher supports AI-assisted reconstruction, manual mesh refinement, on-chain ownership enforcement, and runtime trait evolution.
System Capabilities #
1. AI-Powered 2D Asset Conversion #
- Input Compatibility: Accepts uploaded 2D images or existing ERC-721 NFTs.
- Auto-Generated Geometry: Uses trained ML models to produce initial 3D meshes from 2D art.
- Manual Refinement Support: Artists can edit mesh, rigging, UVs, and animation states before minting.
- Supported Output Types: Character rigs, props, environment objects, collectibles, avatar-compatible models.
2. 2D NFT Augmentation & Wrapping #
- Metadata Preservation: Maintains original NFT metadata, token ID, and provenance while attaching new 3D layers.
- Trait Expansion: Adds 3D-interactive traits, evolvable states, and runtime behaviors via DNA sequencing.
- On-Chain Record Linking: Associates original 2D contract data with the new 3D kNFT for full traceability.
3. Monetization & Licensing #
- Full Ownership via Smart Contracts: Resulting 3D assets are deployed as kNFTs with embedded royalty structures.
- Revenue Sharing: Enforced ERC-2981 royalty splits on resale or leasing transactions.
- Marketplace Interoperability: Assets are tradable in the Kondux Marketplace and externally on compatible platforms.
4. Trait Evolution & Runtime Behavior #
- DNA-Based Trait Modifications: Support for unlocking upgrades, skins, accessories, and gameplay-linked traits post-mint.
- Progression Integration: NFT traits may change based on time, activity, in-game events, or staking conditions.
- Animation Layer Support: Publish 3D kNFTs with prebuilt or dynamic animation packs.
Publishing Workflow #
| Step | Description |
|---|---|
| 1. Input 2D Asset | Upload image file or reference an on-chain NFT |
| 2. Generate Base Model | Use AI tooling to produce a 3D mesh scaffold with optional rigging |
| 3. Refine & Configure | Manually adjust model, apply animations, assign metadata and DNA traits |
| 4. Mint 3D kNFT | Deploy to blockchain as an ERC-721-compliant, DNA-powered kNFT |
| 5. Distribute & Use | Trade, lease, or deploy the asset in virtual spaces and marketplaces |
Target Users #

- Render Targets: Fully compatible with Unity, Unreal, Omniverse, and GDN Viewport streaming
Summary #
The 2D to 3D Asset Publisher bridges legacy static NFTs with future-facing 3D applications. Whether upgrading an existing token or generating new assets from static artwork, this module ensures that tokenized assets gain utility, engagement, and cross-platform deployment potential. Through on-chain DNA encoding, metadata preservation, and smart contract monetization, it unlocks new value and relevance for 2D creators and collectors.
