The DOT Model Classroom is an educational world built for BridgeMakers, based on a conflict resiliency teaching model developed & taught by Dr. Ruth Diaz.

After 10 years of 2D limitations, Dr. Diaz worked with Nimzy to conceptualize the model in 3D, requiring a deep dive into the model itself on Nimzy’s part. The final build, completed in the span of 3 months, was a highly impactful teaching tool, and the realization of a 10 year long dream for Dr. Diaz.

Nimzy worked alongside the Virtual Worlds Museum to rebuild an optimized version of an existing museum environment to be published within the RP1 framework. Optimization was key to the success of this project, as RP1 is a web-based framework.

Following the sudden onset of strange glitches due to platform quirks, Nimzy worked with Helen to further optimize the pre-built Foremother's Café through reorganization, IFX migration, and optimizing existing meshes. Nimzy continues to run general maintenance on the space when needed.

For the fun of building something outside of her usual theme and aesthetic, Nimzy built the Circus of Nightmares for Pandemonium of Fear, a group that does live, virtual haunts every October in VRChat. This project started with building custom environments to immerse guests in a haunt experience that accommodated live actors for added thrills.

The project eventually expanded to include complex, interactive elements that Nimzy designed using VRChat's node-based coding system. These elements provided fun interactions for guests (such as proximity-based teleportation and audio triggers, jump scares, and avatar resizing for fear-inducing immersion), and a higher level of moderation and function for the cast and crew.

Please Note: The Cherry Blossom area and the voice overs dispersed throughout the world were provided by Pandemonium of Fear and optimized/ incorporated into the project by Nimzy.

Pandemonium of Fear

The first of its kind premiere VR Halloween experience

Nimzy formed a team with Tony Lopez and Imani Maya Woodward to build A VRChat experience that incorporates education with story, raising awareness about the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goal #3, "Good Health and Wellbeing." 

This experience was a second level winner of the Metaverse for SDGs Global Prize & VR Competition.

The final product is a journey through an interactive, futuristic tale centered around Perrin Galloway. 

As guests step into the experience, they witness an accidental invention that brings an unexpected burst of color into Perrin's dreary existence. Visit here to walk through Perrin's world and watch the story unfold around him as he discovers just what it is that he has invented and how he can use it․ You will intimately experience a story of hope where you will be reminded that life doesn't have to be gray‚ and that even just a little more awareness of the world around us can bring more color into our existence․

This series of worlds was created by Nimzy when Vitality ReAwakened, a community she founded in 2021, made the shift into VRChat as their main gathering place.

These worlds were each built with a specific event in mind (most of them held weekly), all geared towards bringing
an element of magic to the wellness journeys of those attending. During this time, Nimzy completed multiple environments that greatly expanded her world building and technical skills through production-led learning, and expanded her awareness of what a successful virtual event space requires.

These worlds have a higher level of interactivity programmed into them using VRChat's Udon system.
