Meebit Image Maker
A self-service platform to make custom pictures of your Meebits
17 Backdrops x 10 Poses + Your Meebit
What’s the idea?
Meebits were created differently to other pfp projects – they came with 3D modelling files, ready for metaverses and creating beautiful images. However, making renders in Blender requires time and technical skills … so the Meebit Image Maker was made to do the tricky bits for you.
The MIM automates the image generation process so you can make custom images of your own Meebit for posters, phone wallpaper, social media etc.
The Meebits Image Maker was funded by
The ApeCoin DAO
1. Grant access to your 3D model
After you’ve clicked on the big purple ‘MAKE AN IMAGE’ button at the top or bottom of this page, you’ll be taken to the official Meebits website, meebits.app
There you’ll be asked to grant meebs.club temporary access to your owner files (your image and 3D model files).
This grants NO access to your wallet, or your actual Meebit ERC-721 token. Just the jpgs and the modelling files.
2. Select one of your Meebits
Choose one of the Meebits from your wallet to star in your image
3. Choose a backdrop
Set the color theme for the Meebit’s photo session
4. Pick a pose
Choose one of the 10 poses for your Meebit
5. Receive your image by email
Once your custom image has finished rendering, you’ll receive an email with two copies: a huge poster sized version and a smaller file for sharing on social media or using as phone wallpaper
FAQs
What size is the image?
You’ll receive two versions of the image, both in 16:9 format: the large is 2,160 x 3,840, the small file is 720 x 1,280. The small version is great for social media or phone wallpaper; the large file for a poster.
How many images can I make?
Thanks to the funding from the ApeCoin DAO, all images are free to generate and there is no limit to your use of the Meebit Image Maker.
Do I need to own a Meebit to uses the Meebit Image Maker?
Yes, you can only make images for Meebits that are in your wallet.
What happens after I place an order?
We fetch the 3D model of your Meebit ( the .fbx file) through the Meebits API, ping you a confirmation email, and place the order in a queue for your custom image to be rendered.
If there are no images in the queue before you, in 5 to 10 minutes you’ll get an email with your image in two size versions.
I’m nervous about signing to grant access to my files, can you reassure me?
You never sign anything on our website.
For the Image Maker to access your Meebit’s 3D model, you sign a gasless signature on the official meebits.app website. This grants us token access only to the ‘owner downloads’ files, which are the image files and 3D models which are stored on the meebits.app site. Absolutely no access is granted to the Meebit ERC-721 token or anything in your wallet.
If you submit an order through the Meebit Image Maker, we download the .fbx 3D model file for the particular Meebit for which you have chosen to make an image. We need the .fbx file to make your image. The token from meebits.app API is set, by meebits.app, to expire after 24 hours and will be useless to anyone after that time.

SOLIDS by Far
The ‘Candy’ backdrop is the inside of a building from the generative architectural project SOLIDS by FAR. The NFTs from this project come with a high quality .glb 3D modelling file which, like Meebits, are ready for use in metaverses and 3D production.
This Twitter thread by FAR explains the project and the place of generative practice in architecture. You can still mint pieces here or find existing ones on secondary at OpenSea.
