# Create an asset

The Sandbox is a virtual world where players can build, own, and monetize their gaming experiences on the Ethereum blockchain. It features three main components: our VOXEDIT 3D voxel art animation software for building NFT game assets, a MARKETPLACE for buying and selling NFT assets, and the GAME MAKER tool for creating gaming experiences in The Sandbox metaverse.

### **Create and Sell Voxel ASSETs on The Sandbox Marketplace**

Voxel artists can create ASSETs using The Sandbox's voxel art program, VoxEdit. These ASSETs can then be sold on The Sandbox's marketplace for $SAND.Using the Game Maker software, you can create experiences, such as games, which can be published onto LANDs and then monetised. For example, players could pay a small fee in $SAND to be able to play your game.

**PLAY BY THE RULES!**&#x20;

The default size is 3&#x32;_&#x33;&#x32;_&#x33;2, which is translated to a Meter (3,2 f) on the sandbox Universe, and therefore characters and assets would have to be created having this measures as a reference. It is not necessary to use all of this detail, but 32x32x32 is the maximum detail available to make inside a cubic meter. An avatar will be about 2 blocks in height (64 Voxels).

GET YOUR ASSETS READY FOR THE MARKETPLACE

Once you’re done modeling and texturing, prepare your assets for the marketplace!
