51WORLD has been dedicated to cloning Earth's 510 million square kilometers to help make the real world more efficient, safe, and beautiful!

After nearly a decade of technological, product, and brand development, the key platform to realize the vision of Earth

cloning—51earth.com—officially launched on March 1st! It is an open and inclusive global digital community offering a platform, products, and economic system.

Today, July 1st, 51Earth is opening up to Builders and Developers for free:

100 global UGAs (Urban General Assets)

51Earth Builder (Earth Clone Editor)

51Earth Dev Kit

Join us in co-creating and sharing the Earth Clone Project!

Free Access Part 1: Urban General Assets (UGA)

How do we clone the Earth?

We start with the crystallization of human civilization—the city.

Our plan is to introduce 100 standard data assets based on cities, known as UGAs, and make them fully accessible to Earth Clone Builders and Developers.

Today, we're excited to kick off this initiative by launching UGAs for five of the world's most renowned cities.

Singapore UGA

Dubai UGA

UGA of Abu Dhabi, capital of the United Arab Emirates

UGA of Riyadh, the capital city of Saudi Arabia

UGA of Jeddah, the second largest city in Saudi Arabia

For those who are not familiar, let’s recap:

UGA—Urban General Asset is a ready-to-use city data asset that supports real-time rendering over large areas. These high-precision visualization scenes can handle over a million elements and cover surface areas exceeding 100,000 square kilometers, all while maintaining smooth performance.

It's also worth noting that we are accelerating our efforts to achieve the Earth Clone Project. We plan to have 100 city UGAs available globally by February 18, 2025!

Free Access Part 2: 51Earth Builder

Want to participate in cloning the Earth but have no experience with 3D scene creation or tools? No problem! We have just launched the 51Earth Builder, an incredibly user-friendly 3D scene creation tool, now open to 3D creators, 2D designers, and everyday users dedicated to the Earth Clone Project. With this tool, anyone can join in creating a digital twin world and easily create their own 3D scenes!

Graphical Interface: Create with Drag and DropThe 51Earth Builder offers a graphical interface design and modular components, greatly reducing the learning curve. Users can create and edit 3D scenes with simple drag-and-drop actions, without the need for extensive coding.

Gamified Design: Easy for BeginnersThe 51Earth Builder makes 3D content creation as easy and fun as playing a game! Even without using 3D creation tools like UE or Unity, and with no professional knowledge or background, anyone can get started easily!

In the future, the 51Earth Builder will introduce more features, such as collaborative creation and AI-generated content, continuously lowering the creation threshold. Stay tuned!

Free Access Part 3:51Earth Dev Kit

With high-quality data assets in hand, the next question arises: do we have suitable development tools?

Of course! On July 1st, we launched a new developer tool—51Earth Dev Kit—and made it fully available to developers.

Compatible with multiple leading engines, 51Earth Dev Kit is a user-friendly development tool that supports full element editing (comprehensive element editing including roads, terrain, water bodies, and more) and currently compatible with Unreal and WDP engines. In the future, we will progressively add versions for Unity, Omniverse, and more. Stay tuned!

Simply drag and drop to achieve precise positioning, rotation, scaling, and deletion of each element.

With our Dev Kit, you can develop various applications, such as creating high-quality short videos, developing 3D games... If you can think it, you can do it! For example, here's a game demo developed by one of our R&D team members in their spare time, based on the Dubai UGA.

Excited to try it out? Now, without downloading or applying, you can experience this Dubai game demo directly by logging into 51earth.com! Drive, fly, walk, or even use superpowers—try them all!

Okay, so where should we access them?

First, Click and enter 51earth.com

Then, roll all the way to the bottom of the website, find "Download launcher",

Install launcher and sign in,
