This week, the race for world models began.

Matrix-Game 2.0: An Open-Source, Real-Time, and Streaming Interactive World Model

- 25 FPS live video synthesis
- Realtime inputs
- Trained on ~1200 hours of video data

🤗 available now on Hugging Face

OmniAvatar - Audio-driven avatars with body language

this isn't a 3D model.

let's fix that

how to create *game-ready* 3D Assets with AI and Blender

🚀 Introducing meshgen v0.7

Control Blender with AI Agents - entirely locally

☁️ Like Blender-MCP entirely within Blender
🤗 Supports both local models and remote APIs

more details below 👇

Creating a cube with AI in Blender

it's kind of like creating a cube without AI, but 100x slower 🎉

but the AI is running completely locally within Blender. major release coming soon

You now have the option to filter 3D Arena to open source models.

🚀 Announcing meshgen (AI in Blender) Update 0.6

🤗 Now supports remote backend via litellm, e.g. Hugging Face, ollama
🎨 UI/UX overhaul

This lays the foundation for Blender agents and more advanced 3D AI models (coming this year)

3D artists have been asking for AI topology tools for a while now

really exciting to see generative 3D research that is
1. Iterative
2. Topology-aware

definitely a step in the right direction!

📢 New #1 in Generative 3D

CSM/Cube from Common Sense Machines is now the top ranked image-to-3d model

WebGPU Gaussian Splatting VFX

🪄 Unity 6 VFX Graph with WebGPU backend for gaussian splatting with interactive VFX

experimenting with TRELLIS 3DGS + SplatVFX in Unity

what kind of game could be made with this?

Here's a recap of what happened in AI 3D in 2024

meshgen v0.3.1 has been released!

adds support for:
🦙 Ollama server backend
⚙️ more platforms

meshgen 0.3 now uses llama-cpp and quantized LLaMA-Mesh, dramatically improving performance and memory requirements

🔥 loads 10x faster
🚄 runs 5x faster

running real-time on RTX 4090 in the video

Minecraft AI

LLaMa-Mesh running locally in Blender

official @huggingface.bsky.social release coming soon 🤗
