Mars Cats Voyage has partnered with Nifty Island, a fast growing Web3 gaming experience like no other. This integration was just in time for the Open Beta which is currently in Wave 1 of its Play-to-Airdrop campaign. Mars Cats holders can earn $Island token by playing the game, a perk of being partnered.

Mars Cats Ventures commissioned an artist to make a base 3D model. The original Model had the Blueberry fur type. After some back and forth with the artist, we approved the model. Then I took the model and made 23 additional versions, changing the fur colors to match the collection. This is what’s called Texture Painting. I used a mix of Blender and Photoshop for this. All the the fur traits were sourced from the original NFT art, but then re-dawn and expanded upon for the full-body 3D model.

Once the models were ready and integrated into Nifty Island, I created promos So holders (and non-holders) knew what was available.
