Inspiration

Gummy Bears and Meta AI inspired me to build this world. Being around the holidays and adding a Christmas theme was fitting. We didn’t want regular Gummy Bears, we wanted a gummy bear takeover. Gummy Bear Splat was created by using 3D models and AI images from Meta AI, using Creator Studio. I thought, what if the gummy bears were placed in a candy shop created entirely with Meta AI images. Visitors would earn points helping the Elves by turning them into Christmas gifts. Santa was all for this idea too.

What it does

Players help the Elves by shooting and splatting gummy bears, that turn into gifts, and the player will gain points displayed on a leaderboard.

How we built it

This world was built from the images of AI and creativity. Gummy Bear Splat was created with 3D models uploaded from Blender, AI images set to planes and assets created by tmwheeler1 and Holo Lens. I used Gravity Sketch, Blender, Horizon and Meta AI Studio to create this world. Some of the assets were taken from the Horizon provided library. The scripting was created by Holo Lens.

Challenges we ran into

The biggest challenges we encountered was the transparency, on the reverse side, of the image planes. The solution was to upload a black cube and place it between the AI planes, then lining up the images with the cube stretched into a rectangle “wall”. The grab and aim of the gun for mobile was something we had to adjust and play tested on mobile.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

I’m so proud of taking a risk and using AI images to cover the walls of my world. It really turned out well and I am very pleased with the result. I’m most proud of navigating tri-mesh 3D models and world building with a collaborator. Creating 3D assets and building with my headset, as well as my PC, has been a major accomplishment for me. I started in Horizon four years ago not knowing one thing about building virtual worlds. I was self taught along with many others including my collaborator. What an amazing journey this has been.

What we learned

We learned how to use AI images in world and how to navigate mobile play.

What's next for Gummy Bear Splat

I will be adding new tools and features to Gummy Bear Splat in the coming months. With AI images, the world decor could be updated easily by changing out the images. There are more plans in the works as new features role out.
