“# RTFKT partners with Daz 3D to advance metaverse NFT\u2019s <\/strong>”
\n<\/p>\n

RTFKT Studios, pronounced artifact, has announced a collaborative partnership with software developer Daz 3D to leverage their technology<\/a> to create immersive, three-dimensional avatars for their upcoming nonfungible token, or NFT, release, CloneX.<\/p>\n

Founded by Chris Le, Benoit Pagotto and Steven Vasilev, RTKFT have emerged at the forefront of next-generation sneaker culture, intertwining burgeoning technologies of augmented reality, nonfungible tokens and blockchain authentication, amongst others, to form their NFT sneaker brand.<\/p>\n

RTKFT’s latest venture, a pfp avatar project, will utilize Daz 3D\u2019s PFP Utility Kit to expand the possibilities for the avatars across a multitude of settings including gaming, videos, social media<\/a> and the metaverse.<\/p>\n

Daz 3D’s software platform is home to over 4 million artists and designers across the world. Their partnership with RTKFT is expected to be the first of many creations between the two companies over the coming year.<\/p>\n

Cointelegraph spoke to Chris Le, the co-founder and chief creative officer at RTKFT, to learn more about the reasoning behind the Daz 3D collaboration:<\/p>\n

“I\u2019ve always been a huge advocate for Utah. Being born and raised here, it hits home for me to work with another established 3D company coming from Utah. Not a lot of people know this, but 3D was invented in Utah by Ed Catmull \u2014 Co-founder of Pixar and ex-President of Walt Disney Animation Studios \u2014 at the University of Utah. I felt like it’s time to continue the torch.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Speaking on the architectural vision for the partnership, Le shared a jovial remark commonly used among the digital graphics community: \u201cDaz 3D and RTFKT will create something new other than the [Utah] teapot<\/a>.\u201d<\/p>\n
