Tarzanβ’ is a highly detailed 3D model of the character that has undergone rigging, which involves creating a virtual skeleton and joints. Thanks to the preparation process, the hero can take on different poses and perform movements designed by animators.
With every detail meticulously crafted and infused with the spirit of adventure, the legend of Tarzanβ’ has never felt more alive, β the project website explains.
The Tarzan collection characters are compatible with Unreal Engine 5, one of the most popular game engines in the industry. This opens up a multitude of Web3 games and metaverses for the character to easily integrate into. Additionally, the developers plan to create their own metaverse jungle environment familiar to the hero in the future.
Tarzanβ’ ecosystem features personalization as one of its important aspects, where compatible skins, weapons, and accessories can be used. Players can explore different worlds, collect various 3D assets, and trade them. The Tarzan: Lord of the Apesβ’ collection includes unique versions of characters with different levels of hygiene and original accessories. The creators emphasize that the character doesn't have to be a wild man with messy hair, as there are multiple options to choose from. NFT-Tarzan introduces players to the question "How dirty are you?" with three levels of dirtiness to choose from.
