We reported on Odyssey six months ago www.slashcam.de/news/single/Odyssey--Neue-Video-KI-speziell-fuer-Hollywood-gepl-18688.html and now the first successes are being announced. It&s a good sign that Ed Catmull, one of Pixar&s former founders, has joined the company&s board. And with the first tool, Explorer, a paradigm shift in virtual production could be initiated. ;)
Explorer is an image-to-world AI model that can transform any image into a real, editable 3D world. Generative world models are still in their infancy, but they promise to significantly accelerate the creation of film- and game-compatible worlds. According to Odyssey, an alpha version of Explorer is now being used by a growing group of artists – and anyone can now gain access via online application. Explorer is explicitly designed to generate photorealistic worlds for later use in real films. The model is based on so-called Gaussian splats, which have the ability to generate a fully editable 3D world from one or more photos. These can be imported directly into Unreal, Houdini, Blender, Maya, 3D Studio Max, or After Effects for further processing. This means, in practice, that a virtual setting can be created as an image in a generative AI from a text prompt and exported as a fully editable 3D model. Details in the set can then be modified as usual by 3D modelers. And of course, such 3D models can also be used directly in a virtual environment. The Odyssey Explorer can go even further and also generate animations such as fire or water as 3D models. Ultimately, it can even export 4D models. Thus, a world can be created directly in the virtual studio in the fastest case and "fine-tuned" on site. We are excited to see where such a development will lead studio production. The Explorer was first tested for its production readiness in the London Garden Studios.  more infos at bei odyssey.systemsdeutsche Version dieser Seite: Odyssey Explorer: Gaußsche Splats generieren fotorealistische 3D-Welten für Unreal, Blender & Co. |
