RPG Maker U2U has been officially revealed which will allow users to create HD-2D-style games. Called "P2D" (Perspective 2D), users can create 3D depth and rich effect expression to conventional 2D maps. 2D assets from previous RPG Maker titles can be used as map tiles for decoration, and more... show more

I applaud them for doing this, but I'd prefer it be an extension to existing RPG makers that have mod support.

Let's hope it's a good engine so the community can rally behind it. A lot of what makes RPG Maker is the community support imo

sadly, no-one will use it because it is again unity based. not that unity is bad - it's not! but did they learn nothing from the mess last time? rip rm, you were a good engine once

I'm assuming this is to contend with RPG Developer Bakin and jump on the 3D-2D trend. Might give it a go if it reviews well.

I wonder if there's a way to convert older RPGM maps to this P2D stuff? There's like...a bazillion eroge that I'd like to see that way.

@Skyflyer_R esto para los fangames de Pokémon puede ser un cambio de paradigma no? Si se pueden usar los assets de previos RPG Makers crees que se podrá pasar el essentials o me estoy fumando un porro?

@TheTopTierGoon I'm good. I'll stick with MV and MZ. At least they're still getting plugin support lol. Honestly I already have enough trouble with 2D. I don't need to try to wrap my mind around 2.5D as well.

fine, i'll build it myself, open source ofc Launching Three-Maps, a rapid blockout editor for building game maps for threejs games: Create a floor plan in 2D, automatically generate 3D levels from it, edit them, export to .glb and use in your games (see end of video) Features: - Floorplan 2D: A 2D canvas to map out the floor - Edit Mode for Objects: Edit Vertices/Edges/Faces, extrude, bevel, fillet and chamfer - Brush Mode: Rapidly build map elements with a RealtimeCSG like experience. Cubes, Stairs, Doors, Arch, Cylinder, Custom polygons. Yes, you can even curve the stairs - Modifiers: Yes, you read that right, slap that array modifier on your pillar and call it a day - Terrain Generator: Perlin, Voronoi, you name it. Oh yes, you can rasterize it and edit every single vertex in edit mode. Keyboard shortcuts are mostly same as blender to activate that muscle memory (G/R/S, axis lock XYZ) Soon: - AI integration. Boot that MCP and directly connect your fav AI agent to build the floorplan, generate 3D maps and more (you will love how this movie ends) It's a little rough and in early, very early alpha so come and join as a contributor instead of calling it slop It's all vibe coded btw, i have no idea what the code does I need this to build my game, as i'm a total blender noob and threejs is great, so why not? Outshipping every CAD and 3D startup just because i want to build a game, that's how you accelerate

In collaboration with Intel, our Depth Fusion showcases the power of our LDM3D diffusion model in generating 360° views from text prompts provided by the user. The LDM3D diffusion model generates a 2D RGB image and its corresponding relative depth map providing a complete RGBD representation corresponding to the text prompt. The LDM 3D model is a specialized version of the stable diffusion V 1.4 model that has been modified to fit both image and depth map data.The model was then fine tuned on a subset of the Laion400M data set - large scale image caption data set. The depth maps used to fine tune our model were generated by the DPTBeiT large 512 depth estimation model that provides highly accurate relative depth estimates for each pixel. We take the generated 2D RGB image and depth map and use them to compute a 360° projection using touchdesigner. Touchdesigner is a versatile platform that allows for the creation of immersive and interactive multimedia experiences. Our application harnesses the power of touchdesigner to bring the generated 360° views to life, providing users with a unique and engaging way to experience their text prompts, whether it’s a description of a tranquil forest, a noisy cityscape or a futuristic sci fi world. Our depth fusion can bring these concepts to life in a vivid and immersive detail. - Scottie Fox, VP Engineering Blockade Labs ScottieFox #AI #VR #3D #gamedev #stablediffusion

You will soon be able to create full 3D games from a single prompt. Unity just announced Muse, an AI-powered assistant for video-game creation. The platform will be closely connected to the Unity Editor, enabling text prompts and sketches, rather than traditional manual coding which can be more time-consuming

I've been working on web projects with Three.js more and more lately — 2D, 3D, XR — and the one thing I've noticed is the lack of tools compared to game engines. That's why I decided to start building on the side a library of 3D assets that are actually little programs, AI-native, and fully customizable. I called this @polyfork_ , and it's already being used by dozens of people that have an AI centric workflow, since the website can be fully understood and used by agents. Assets are being built each day, at a rate of 100+ a week, and I'm planning to make it the biggest programmatic-3D library on the internet. Almost half of the models are free, and I opened slots for "founding" members, who can make a one-time payment for lifetime access, with access to all current models and kits, plus everything built from now on. Get one before they run out.

Alibaba presents MIMO Controllable Character Video Synthesis with Spatial Decomposed Modeling Character video synthesis aims to produce realistic videos of animatable characters within lifelike scenes. As a fundamental problem in the computer vision and graphics community, 3D works typically require multi-view captures for per-case training, which severely limits their applicability of modeling arbitrary characters in a short time. Recent 2D methods break this limitation via pre-trained diffusion models, but they struggle for pose generality and scene interaction. To this end, we propose MIMO, a novel framework which can not only synthesize character videos with controllable attributes (i.e., character, motion and scene) provided by simple user inputs, but also simultaneously achieve advanced scalability to arbitrary characters, generality to novel 3D motions, and applicability to interactive real-world scenes in a unified framework. The core idea is to encode the 2D video to compact spatial codes, considering the inherent 3D nature of video occurrence. Concretely, we lift the 2D frame pixels into 3D using monocular depth estimators, and decompose the video clip to three spatial components (i.e., main human, underlying scene, and floating occlusion) in hierarchical layers based on the 3D depth. These components are further encoded to canonical identity code, structured motion code and full scene code, which are utilized as control signals of synthesis process. The design of spatial decomposed modeling enables flexible user control, complex motion expression, as well as 3D-aware synthesis for scene interactions. Experimental results demonstrate effectiveness and robustness of the proposed method.

Interesting times in the maps space, and its exciting there is so much buzz - maps are awesome :) My parents Rakesh and Rashmi Verma pioneered digital mapping in India in 1995, returning from the US after a successful career there with the passion and desire to do something unique for India. And it’s been 20 years for me personally in the mapping space, since I was a 19-year old Stanford engineering undergraduate student and got involved in starting India’s first interactive mapping portal, I realise MapmyIndia is a relatively lesser known company amidst more consumer facing global and local players, so it would be great if this post can be amplified, so that more people can be made aware 🙏 Warm regards, Rohan Verma CEO & ED, MapmyIndia *** A few thoughts on maps: 1) Accuracy and quality of maps is critical. I’d caution folks to check out quality and reliability of maps by browsing those maps in areas familiar to them, and if they notice errors in them, in terms of incorrect places marked wrongly on the map, it should serve as a reminder not to rely on such maps. I’ve personally looked at the maps of various global and local players, and find so many inaccuracies, which confirms my belief that the difficult art and science of map-making is not as easy and people may imagine or claim. 2) What’s exciting about Mappls MapmyIndia, as a home-grown indigenous deep tech digital products and platforms company, is that not just did we pioneer digital mapping in India since 1995, when there were no other digital maps available for the country, but back then, and even now, we’ve always built the most cutting-edge tech to build the most capable maps and empower our customers, users and developers with the most comprehensive and advanced solutions. Over the last 15 or so years, there have actually been many global and local players who have come into the mapping market, yet for some reason or the other, they haven’t sustained or maintained quality.

Let me explain what I'm doing here for those who are interested. I've been building a retro-style D3D12 game engine from scratch, and recently implemented a "Spatial Compression" effect. Essentially its a technique that makes distant geometry appear larger than standard perspective projection would, giving scenes a telephoto compression feel without changing the camera FOV globally (to keep things "normal" when close to the camera). The goal: foreground geometry completely unchanged, objects beyond a configurable start distance progressively scaled up, with a smooth power-curve falloff. The solution: Once the full view-projection transform has been applied, I'm holding 2D screen coordinates. Camera orientation is already resolved at that point, so it's done its job. Scaling those coordinates outward from screen center is a pure 2D operation with no dependency on where the camera is pointing. The scale factor itself is derived from Euclidean world-space distance between the camera and the vertex (not a view-space value, which would rotate with the camera). Combined with the 2D application, both ingredients are fully rotation-invariant. Critically, only the XY screen coordinates are modified. Depth values are left completely untouched, so the depth buffer and any shadow calculations remain correct. I then tried inverting the effect for the opposite in interiors, leading to "Spatial Expansion".

This is insane!🔥 This is a 720p (2D) video I shot of my kids 15 years ago! I used AI to upscale it, depth-map it, & used the depth map to convert it to 3D SBS, & then converted that to Spatial Video for Apple Vision Pro (MV-HEVC). My son is currently a senior in high school, and my daughter is a sophomore in college. This video has complete spatial depth when viewed in the Apple Vision Pro. Obviously, you can't appreciate that via this post. But it's like I'm there & I can see into this room. Talk about giving you the feels.🥹 This can be done with ANY video. 🤯 I'm working on refining the workflow, as it's a bit cumbersome. I plan to share it, but holy cow! I had to post this.

General Intuition CEO Pim de Witte, who's building foundation models trained on video game controller input data ("action-labeled gameplay clips"), says general intelligence won't "taste like an LLM": "We have a scale of data that's going to allow us to jump to the frontier in one capability — which is any system that can be controlled with a game controller (which is most robots) — and then, you can use that to create a sufficiently general intelligence." "As humans, the decision to talk or type is a very, very small subset of the actions that we can actually take." "So in order to create a sufficiently general intelligence to play 10,000+ video games, the model has to be able to predict across the entire action space of human cognition when they're interacting with these environments. Which are 2D and 3D environments, interfaces, long-horizon tasks, short-horizon tasks, [etc.]." "It has to be a sufficiently general intelligence in order to predict actions. Therefore, the type of model you get out is not going to taste like an LLM. This model is going to be incredibly good at navigating unforeseen environments. It's going to be incredibly good at zero-shotting any task that can be done with a game controller."

Want to create an avatar from a single image? FlexAvatar is a transformer model that creates full 360°, high-quality, and expressive 3D head avatar from just a single portrait image in minutes. Real-time Demo: FlexAvatar's lightweight architecture allows both animation and rendering in real-time, enabling interactive user experiences. To create a new 3D head avatar, only one image is required, e.g., from a webcam. The final avatar is ready after 2 minutes. Architecture: Under the hood, FlexAvatar adopts a transformer-based encoder-decoder design. The encoder maps the input image onto a latent avatar space, while the decoder produces 3D Gaussian attribute maps by incorporating the animation signal via cross-attention. The model learns all facial animations directly from the data without relying on pre-built 3D face models. This equips the avatars with realistic facial expressions. The internal avatar latent space can be conveniently used to integrate additional observations of a person via fitting. This enables use-cases where more than one image of a person is available, e.g., from a phone scan of the person. We train jointly on 2D monocular videos and multi-view data. However, in monocular videos, the animation signal leaks the target viewpoint, causing the model to produce incomplete 3D heads. We call this phenomenon entanglement of driving signal and target viewpoint. To prevent entanglement, we introduce bias sinks. These are learnable tokens that indicate whether a training sample stems from a monocular or a multi-view dataset. During training, the model learns to produce incomplete 3D heads only when the monocular token is present. During inference, FlexAvatar then always uses the multi-view token for which the model has learned to produce complete 3D heads. This simple design allows to combine the generalizability from monocular data with the quality of multi-view data. FlexAvatar summary: - Input: Single-image, phone scan, or monocular video - Output: Full 360° head avatar - Expressive animations - Real-time rendering and animation - Generalization to any portrait - Create a new avatar in 2 minutes - Use bias sinks to combine 2D and 3D data 🏠 🌍 🎥 Great work by Tobias Kirschstein and Simon Giebenhain!

META automatically opted all users into its new deepfake AI system “Meta is facing backlash over a new AI feature just rolled out on Instagram” The app is called Muse Image. It allows users to make realistic deepfakes using other people's photos. Any adult with a public Instagram account was automatically included. There are ways to turn it off and opt out, if you don’t do this everything you post of yourself can be used for deepfakes - You go to your settings and search sharing and reuse - Then you scroll down to allow people to ‘create with and reuse your content’ and toggle both of those off
