OpenAI has released their newest AI tool for turning text into 3D objects called Shap-E. This new generative AI tool is more accurate and detailed compared to their Point-E model from last year. Shape-E utilizes neural radiance fields (NeRFs) to create the shape and texture suggested in the text prompt quickly and accurately. Thus, Shap-E is significantly faster than Point-E and can generate an object in 13 seconds with a single NVIDIA V100 GPU, while Point-E needs two minutes. NeRFs are technologies often used in virtual and augmented reality, and Shap-E applies the same technology to more common diffusion models.
In addition, Roblox has also released its new generative AI game creation tools. This tool allows developers to access documented procedures, sample code, and real-time tutorials to quickly create games and accelerate game prototyping. Additionally, Roblox’s Create Together initiative allows users to share their experiences with the community and work together to collaborate on ideas and efficiently improve game design.
OpenAI was founded in 2015 by Elon Musk, Sam Altman, Greg Brockman and other investors, and focuses on using artificial intelligence to create a better future. Most notably, OpenAI is involved in the development of self-driving cars and has also released AI tools for natural language processing. Elon Musk has said in multiple interviews that he believes artificial intelligence will be “the most powerful force in the universe” and has continued to further the development of AI. Sam Altman, the current president of OpenAI, serves as the main overseer of OpenAI and has helped the organization grow and succeed in introducing new AI tools.
Overall, OpenAI’s Shap-E and Roblox’s Create Together initiative are setting the standards and paving the way for more AI tools that are capable of creating 3D objects and interactive experiences just with a text prompt. Both groups focus on making all types of development easier while giving the end-user a better experience and faster results. With this new user-friendly AI, more advanced and efficient games, products and objects can be created faster than ever before.
