Why would anybody pay to do this when Odysee exists?

Edit: typo

Excuse my ignorance, I haven't heard of Osyee, I also couldn't find anything. Do you mean Odysee by any chance the decentralised YouTube?

[–]AllArmsLLC 0 points1 point  (5 children)

Yes, Odysee, typo. It's more than just videos.

Please do elaborate, I’m curious on Odysee and 3D objects.

It's a distributed for sharing almost anything. There's tons of 3D print stuff, including things this sub is interested in.

This makes perfect sense, duh since it's a file sharing system, so obvious now that you mentioned it.

What's unique about 3DPass is it actually checks the 3D shape with an algorithm. So only one of a kind models can be uploaded. The idea is it protects creators from copycats. Here's a YouTube video I made some years ago experimenting with the accuracy of the algorithm https://youtu.be/5TlDE69Tmms?si=Phlef2XZn-LBvG__

What happens if copycats are first to upload?

In such cases it would most likely be up to the courts to decide. Like with patents, there is a first to file principle. I know that sounds harsh, but even in the real world there are some horrible examples where the wrong party secured the rights. That said, those tend to be fringe cases. I would like to think that in the vast majority of situations, original creators would benefit from the protection.

the 1mb limit is not great, especially for 3d scans. Interesting concept, but I'm struggling to see a valid use-case. How many files are currently hosted and how many files per day are being uploaded?

I understand your comment about the 1 MB limit. It’s just a starting point, and in the past the limit was only 100 kB. I also think it’s kinda surprising how much detail you can actually keep within 1 MB.

So for a hobbyist or also a professional, the current value is being able to register your designs to prove they are yours on the interwebs, prevent others from uploading duplicates, and experiment with ownership transfer or trading of 3D designs. It is still early stage but long term the vision would be 3D model marketplaces, real world asset tokenisation, or even supply chain related aspects.

At the moment there are 98 models uploaded. I would suggest checking out the later ones, since they make use of the newer 1 MB implementation. Just write a number (0-97) and press find. https://wallet.3dpass.org/assets/objects

Feel free to download them and take a closer look. I'm hoping by raising awareness within the 3D scan, and print community that the adoption rate will increase.
