FabZat Updates SDK for Offering In Game Monetization through Custom Merchandising
Wednesday, August 6, 2014

FabZat has updated its SDK which allows developers to monetize app users buy providing the opportunity to purchase real, personalized items, including high definition and full color 3D printing of game characters, vehicles, trophies, and more.
FabZat is bucking the trend of monetizing virtual goods to instead offer physical products. They call it “In-App Custom Merchandising” and it is available for iOS apps. The company takes care of the payment, printing, and shipping of the products.
Included with the new SDK is a library that provides the ability to transform any 2D PNG image into a series of 3D objects. The 2D image is extruded, with different parameters (from pixelisation to thickness) that can be controlled and placed on a series of dynamically adapted supports (stands, canvas, etc.).
One of the products the company is extolling is a 3D selfie that provides the ability to model a user’s face from two photos (face and profile) and to 3D print a custom figurine.
