Roblox to launch AI capable of generating 3D environments

Generative artificial intelligence has infiltrated all areas, especially the creative field. The Roblox platform also wants to enjoy its benefits and has announced it at its annual developer conference, RDC 2024. In the near future, we will see a tool capable of generating environments within Roblox in a matter of seconds.

With just a description (or prompt), a user can easily recreate 3D environments in minutes. It will also allow for complete scene modifications.

It is essential to mention that developers using Roblox can already perform these actions themselves. However, this generative tool would be able to reduce the time required for this by almost half or more. According to Roblox, thanks to generative artificial intelligence, these processes would become accessible to users with little or no technical knowledge.

In addition to text, the Roblox model will allow the use of video as a prompt and will be open source. Marcus Holmström, CEO of The Gang (one of the companies responsible for some of the most played games within Roblox), stated that, thanks to this tool, it will be possible to “try different approaches” and that it will serve to “save a lot of time.” Additionally, the model will be open source.

This technology is not unfamiliar to the company. Currently, Roblox has 250 active artificial intelligence models. One of them can analyze and detect swear words in voice chats. For now, Roblox has not revealed when it will be available or an approximate release date, so we will have to keep waiting.

In addition to AI, Roblox has announced that it will collaborate directly with Shopify. This will allow users to sell physical products directly within their games and experiences, something that creators will surely take advantage of in the future.
