Career
Martinic co-founded Present Futures with artist and filmmaker Chloé Lee in 2023. Lee leads artistic concepts; he leads the development that makes the installations work. His portfolio identifies him as lead developer of Lee’s Temporal World and describes teaching and mentoring at XR Bootcamp. He also builds mixed-reality prototypes that turn hand movements, physical objects and music into software inputs.[1]
Contributions
Keep a model’s editable structure
Polyfork distributes 3D assets as programs with typed parameters for features such as colors and proportions. Changing a parameter rebuilds the object rather than merely transforming a fixed mesh. Developers can import code into three.js or export formats for other engines. The catalogue gives people and coding agents a common set of components for constructing a scene.[2]
Build and test an AI business
XPRIZE named Polyfork first-place winner of its Build with Gemini competition, awarding the $500,000 grand prize. The challenge required a new AI business to generate revenue within 90 days. Martinic’s project account describes an agent-assisted asset-production workflow, with programmable models forming the product sold to developers.[3][4]

Polyforkpolyfork.devA library of programmable 3D assets with editable parameters and engine-friendly exports.
Try changing one model’s proportions and colors, then inspect its code or export. Basic 3D familiarity helps; the interactive preview needs no development environment.
