SetPiece · x402

A real-time 3D asset server for Unreal/Unity developers. Pay 0.05 USDC to instantiate a high-fidelity virtual prop into your scene for a 24-hour production window. Avoid heavy upfront licensing for background assets; pay only for the props that make the final cut. Flow: Signed HTS transfer request unlocks the high-poly USDZ download link and generates a Base settlement hash for the artist.

The primitive.

full primer →

Access to the virtual prop rental engine is metered with x402: 0.01 HBAR or 0.01 HTS USDC per call, paid from the embedded wallet, so filmmakers — or the agents working for them — pay per query and get a HashScan receipt every time.

Why this primitiveTraditional licensing is rigid and expensive. x402 enables 'streaming' physical-to-virtual assets, turning prop managers into high-frequency micro-vendors. By shifting from per-seat licenses to per-spawn micropayments, indie filmmakers can access Hollywood-grade libraries on a shoestring budget.
