This week, Meta launched a $50 million Meta Horizon Creator Fund. Under the theme of “Shape what’s next,” Meta plans to reward creators who can innovate and earn with Meta Horizon Worlds.
The fund will support Meta Horizon Worlds creators with new opportunities to create, monetize, and earn rewards. It shows that Meta is committed to its metaverse dreams while investing more heavily in AI.
Meta Horizon Desktop Editor
On Thursday, Meta opened up early access to the Meta Horizon Worlds desktop editor, allowing everyone to start building with advanced creation tools for mobile, mixed reality, and web.
Meta is expanding the Meta Horizon Creator Program (MHCP) to include additional countries and support creator monetization, offering monthly bonuses, digital item sales, and creator competitions for cash prizes.
Build at the Speed of Your Imagination
Even if you’re not a MHCP member, you can access advanced creator tools through the Meta Horizon Worlds desktop editor, enabling you to build unique experiences from your PC. The editor supports TypeScript, custom model imports, and optimization tools to enhance performance.
The desktop editor includes Gen-AI features like sound effects and TypeScript generation to bring your ideas to life quickly. Visit the creator hub for more information.
