Description

Decentraland Creators Community idea has began from issues that came with grant proposals regards 3d modelling tutorials and assets libraries. DAO spent thousands of dollars for this grants, and end up with barely usable result. There are lots of issues that creators and users encounter nowadays without solution: - low quality free assets (lack of quality, lack of source files, lack of guidelines, user unfriendly content) - outdated documentation (lack of in-depth information from advanced/expert creators, broken links, missing information) - builder and curation process issues (builder bugs, thousands of questions regards curation process) - overloaded awesome repository with lack of assets for 3d content creators (most of awesome repository resources are more focused on source code development content) - impossibility to find content created with Grant Proposals (video-tutorials, documentations, GitHub repositories) - lack of communication with curators (forum topic messages limit, inactive curators) - lack of activity in creators channel at official discord Solution that community will provide for issues listed above: ### Discord Server This is a core of Decentraland Creators Community. Link to that Discord Server should be added to Decentraland Documentation and official Decentraland Discord Communities. With features (server guide, forums, voice chat, text chat, bots), Discord is a great solution for creators community needs. For now, there are no better alternatives than discord. Community will provide active support to users, do a voice calls, meetings, streams, interviews, write guidelines at Advanced Documentation and do assets for Assets Studio. Discord Server is solution that will engage and grow new creators and users to Decentraland. ### Advanced Documentation This is a very well managed Discord Forums. Each forum will contain guidelines, each guideline will contain text information with pictures, link to YouTube tutorial (if needed), and link to Assets Studio repository (if needed) To achieve best navigation inside forums, "Servers Guide" feature will navigate users throughout all guidelines with simple, sorted way. Optionally, it's able to manually navigate inside forums. Creators will write guidelines with different levels of difficulty (Basic, Advanced, Expert) for payment from this grant proposal. Users will use this guidelines to learn, practice in creation of emotes, wearables, and 3d assets. ### Assets Studio Assets Studio is Discord Forum Guidelines and GitHub Repository with assets made by creators and sorted in folders. This solution provide a huge reduce of risks and expenses for DAO. Creators idea should pass vote through DAO pre-proposal. If vote pass, we will discuss budget and start project. Assets will include: - models, textures, thumbnails - source files - scripts and addons (optional) - guidelines and YouTube tutorials (from discord forums) I will hire creators from Decentraland for each category (Discord Server, Advanced Documentation, Assets Studio) and pay them from this grant proposal budget. Most of budget money will go to creators as payment for content.
