The project

Dapper Labs ships thousands of digital collectibles for NBA Top Shot and Disney Pinnacle, each one delivered as stills, video, and an interactive 3D object. I own the pipeline that makes them, from source art to the viewer collectors hold in their hands.

It turns 2D art and video into real-time 3D, renders at scale, checks every result automatically, and delivers to web and mobile. AI agents work throughout, drafting content and moving work between stages, while people keep the final say on anything that ships.

Collectible files are more than 90% smaller, and render turnaround is down 80%.
