Prepare for the stampede, ready the trumpet call: Alt Group launches Elephantopia

Of course they did. A place in the metaverse, created by the Alt Group, on their own terms. Drawing on the combined skills, talent and creative minds of the Alt.vfx, T&DA and New Holland Creative teams, they have built Elephantopia – a new metaversal world to discover.

Unlike many other NFT Metaverse projects, Elephantopia is designed to stand the test of time and remain strong when others falter. The team built a solid roadmap and was well into creating this interactive ecosystem, even before the initial NFT Auction opened.

This is a project that will take participants from digital drawings to fully animatable 3D avatars integrated into the Alt Group’s animation, motion capture and virtual production pipeline. This is a project which allows for movement, speech, influence and so much more; a real roadmap for 3.0; an interactive ecosystem of quality digital art and technology custom built for the audience.

Says Colin Renshaw, co-founder and CEO of Alt Group and co-creator of Elephantopia: “This was our opportunity to put our stamp on the metaverse. By creating a clear, solid roadmap and an amazing world that people want to be a part of, we feel we have designed a space that will outlast the great purge. This is a slow-burning Ethereum NFT metaverse project that will ride it out and be here long into the future.

“We are already experts in creating digital experiences in virtual reality, augmented reality and online gaming so for us the adventure is only just beginning.”

Says Ray Leung, creative director of technology: “Being able to bring all of our skills together and work on a whole new world from the ground up has been challenging but we’re excited to open it up and have others join us here in the Metaverse.”

Says Tyrone Estephan, executive director: “We had a concept of what we wanted our corner of the Metaverse to look and feel like and now that we’ve created it, we’re excited by the idea of bringing more and more to life.”

The Roadmap

Apart from the exclusive mint of NFTs hand drawn by artist Midas, the roadmap created includes an entire world complete with lore and maps to explore, all 2D PFP being upgradeable to fully functional animatable 3D avatars within the first 12 months of launch.

From here the interactive experience just grows – these are 3D avatars participants can actually play with, interact with, grow with, enjoy.

Currently in production is the building of virtual meeting spaces and online games for future phases so that participants can play to earn tokens to purchase upgrades and participate in adventures and programs.

This is not a set and forget, stash in your wallet NFT. This is an interactive world designed by those who live, eat and breathe FX so you know, they know what is going to make this super special.

Not the team’s first venture in this evolving space, T&DA was recently involved in the creation of a ground-breaking NFT by MonoC, Asia’s first digital influencer. T&DA’s Unreal Engine CGI and data-driven algorithms procedurally generated flowers according to the data parameters and triggered certain animations and melodies within these pre-programmed parameters. 200,000 data points were collected over the 7-day auction period to generate the artwork’s final form.

Alt.vfx, T&DA and New Holland Creative are ready to start carving out more spaces and create more worlds and art throughout the Metaverse. Got an idea you want to see come to life?
