This is incredible. One potential application that I'm thinking about already is the rapid iteration of video-game map blocking. Being able to drop in some 'initial state' configuration and then have it procedurally generate a handful of alternative configurations could make rapid prototyping a significantly quicker experience, especially if you wanted to see what a potential end result could look like.
Furthermore, being able to extract and process world geometry and 3D objects from Atlas could reduce friction in the early stages of indy development, where developer time is stretched thinner.
I'm very excited about AI tooling moving forward if this is a glimpse into the future.
Yeah where I've been previously skeptical for using AI in creative ways, basically when these tools get to the point where you have a tight iteration loop, it enables a great creative flow.
You still need the technical proficiency to be able to make edits beyond that, but I think studios would be foolish to let go of their experts in the first place.
Atlas will complement Marble, our current product that can be used for applications like this nicely :) These are indeed great applications for the model. Atlas gives us unprecedented levels of control as well as generative capabilities and is 3d consistent.
