I built a fully playable 3D platformer game in exactly 3 days, using almost entirely AI-generated assets. To test whether AI can really replace the asset grind, I came up with a steampunk cat universe from scratch and brought it straight into Unreal Engine 5. Here is how it... was done, step by step: 👇 🎨 World and prop concepting 🧩 Tripo 3.1 for low-poly smart meshes and PBR textures 🩹 Blender for geometry cleanup and AO baking 🦴 AccuRIG for character animation 🚀 UE5 for level design and blueprints The craziest part is that AI handled the routine, and I still had the creative energy to make the level actually fun.

I tried to see how far I could push my current AI + 3D workflow and build a playable 3D game prototype in just 3 days😶 Not by asking AI to make the whole game in one prompt. I had my own idea, knew what I wanted to build, and used AI as a tool: - for concepting, - asset generation & texturing, - gameplay logic with the new UE 5.8 MCP + Claude Code. And honestly, it is crazy how far you can get now with the right workflow. Full video - #UE5 #ClaudeCode #AI3D #3DAI

New clean 3D AI workflow Control Rig physics in UEFN! Been exploring some more hybrid AI workflows lately, and for 3D assets splitting the model into parts is kinda essential. This video shows my first test using AssetHub, one of the cleanest ways i've used to keep the whole generation process organized. It auto-detected the pose in my main image and broke it down into parts, then generated images for each. From there I can just iterate on each piece separately and generate the 3D models in one workflow. AssetHub is still in closed beta atm, so let me know if you want to try it out. Main reference image came from Grok Imagine. All the part images and high poly meshes were done in AssetHub, selected Tripo 3.1 as the main model. After that I ran it through Hunyuan 3D for retopo + unwrap. Final assembly in Blender. Baked normals from high to low poly. End result: under 60K tris, 3 materials, 2K textures. Also Control Rig physics in Unreal Engine are insane. It finally validates in UEFN too, so of course I had to test it out.

Tested this concepting workflow. ▶️ Converting a level design image to a 3D asset gallery image ▶️ re-generating segmented subjects into separate high quality images. ▶️ using these images to generate the 3D meshes. First time using 'for loops' in ComfyUI, works great and the prompts are updated for every segment. I used the Nano Banana 2 API node in ComfyUI to generate the final high quality images. Those SAM3 nodes are crazy btw, just set some points and it creates a mask! For the 3D model generation I used the new Tripo Smart Mesh tool, which is fast! The output is not perfect yet. I think in a lot of cases not production ready right now but that depends on the input image and the goal as well. For pre-production / concepting phase it's perfect and for far distance meshes it’s fine. I’m sure these tools keep improving, curious what we can work with in 3-6 months. Minimal cleanup and scaling in Blender and tested the meshes in UEFN / Unreal Engine. After creating the ComfyUI workflow it took less than an hour to do everything.

UNREAL ENGINE 5 DEVS, THIS IS A MUST WATCH! As you guys know, I always try to bring the latest news and info for Unreal Engine 5. I found a plugin that allows you to CREATE BLUEPRINTS AND 3D MODELS INSIDE of Unreal Engine 5, this is not a sponsored video. Of course, I recommend using it as a helper and guide, not a robot that will do everything for you etc... enjoy! #LudusAI #ue5 #unrealengine #unrealengine5 #gamedev

Let's build the next character for the team! I’m continuing to test the modular character setup in UEFN using the Metahuman Component. Works really well with custom NPCs! For this new character, I'm back to a fresh 3D workflow using AssetHub . Still aiming for that flat/ anime style so I can go straight to the Tripo P1 model and get the low poly textured meshes to work with. Assembling and rigging are done in Blender. Again making a shape key for the eyes blinking. Because I'm going to use the same bone structure, I can re-use some Control Rig systems like the hair and eyes procedural animations. The character has 35K triangles and each accessory is about 2.5K.

In this experiment I wanted to try something with facial expressions and have it work with native Unreal Engine tools. I did find that generating the head with an open mouth helped to get some extra details. Creating those blend shapes was still not easy and this result is far from perfect. Ideally i want 58 generated expression references and have AI figure that out haha. btw first time baking the high poly details onto the low poly generated character. That worked surprisingly well! Endresult has 34k triangles! Built this character in 4 separate parts in Blender and generated each part in Hunyuan 3D Studio. The original references came from Nano Banana 2 and Grok. Trellis 2 in ComfyUI for the texturing. The animation was done with Control Rig in UEFN / Unreal Engine. With all the experiments so far, file and version management start to become a challenge. Getting files from different platforms with each platform having their own filename logic. I’ll have to find something to keep it more organized. Any suggestions?

#ByteDance dropped #Seed3D 2.0 and claims an 80% win rate against all major 3D AI tools. After dominating in the AI-video with #Seedance2, they are now entering the 3D generation. And the focus is no longer just textures — it’s about real usability of assets right after generation. I tested: 🔹Geometry (thin & complex structures) 🔹Part-level disassembly for simulations 🔹Unified PBR materials 🔹Compatibility to real game engines Watch the full breakdown — and let’s discuss: can this model actually change the industry?

Co-produced with PAI by Utopai Studios, the first long-form video generation model. The AI video clip era is ending! I started with a short story idea. From there, PAI generated the characters, transformed them into keyframes, and then animated the scenes into a full sequence. The interesting part was seeing how the same characters, environment, and visual style stayed consistent across multiple shots while the story progressed naturally. What felt different here is that I wasn’t building each shot manually. I focused on the narrative, and the engine handled character creation, scene continuity, and animation to produce a ready-to-watch video. A step-by-step tutorial so you can make your own story 👇🏻 Thanks to Utopai Studios for collaborating with me Try it now: #UtopaiPartners

Codex isn’t just a coding assistant anymore. It’s becoming a full AI game-dev workspace. 🦫🎮 For this project, Codex handled the workflow by using: 🖼️ GPT Image 2.0 for the visual direction, cards, enemies, and UI assets 🧠 GPT-5.5 for gameplay structure, systems, and iteration 💻 Codex to turn all of that into a real project From cozy capybara shrine images to a real turn-based card battle game. The 2026 AI game dev workflow is getting ridiculous. 🚀 Follow if you’re building games with AI. Want the full prompt I used for this? Comment “CAPYBARA” and I’ll share it.

Adding 3D to your animation workflow gives you full control over the camera and every element in the scene. I built this viewport animation in Blender MCP, then took it into Seedance 2.0 in Magnific to add textures and lighting. Here's exactly how I did it 👇

Uniform can create low poly game assets by sculpting directly to textures, creating the normal map in real time. No high poly meshes, no retopo, no baking. These the same geometry based tools used for high poly sculpting that properly react to surface shape and displacement.
