The release includes new and improved FBX import/export capabilities, including support for the Autodesk interactive physically based shader, and custom properties. The release of Unity 2017.2, which launches in October and further empowers Artists & Designers with an improved workflow and faster roundtripping, will be the first time creators can take advantage of the official Unity and Autodesk collaboration. Unity 2017 is the start of a new cycle that evolves the world’s most popular game engine into an ever-expanding creation engine for gaming and real-time entertainment. 3ds Max and Maya users often utilize Unity technology, so we want to provide the best possible connection between these tools,” said Marc Stevens, vice president of Entertainment, Autodesk. However, it may refer to a program for third-party developers, rather than something Unity is developing itself: according to Reuters, Unity “aims to open a marketplace for generative AI software”.“Autodesk is very interested in making media and entertainment artists’ work as seamless as possible, and the workflow between 3D art tools and engines is a big part of that effort. Sadly, the video doesn’t actually show the large scale terrain or the flying alien mushrooms, so we have no idea in what form they would be generated inside the game engine – if, indeed, they are generated at all. Unity’s video is considerably more enigmatic, showing a user typing in plain text prompts like, ‘Give me a large scale terrain with a moody sky’ and ‘Add a dozen NPCs… make them flying alien mushrooms’. Generative AI art tools have been the flavour of the week, with Adobe announcing Firefly, its suite of online AI art tools, including a text-to-image generator, and Nvidia making several more announcements, including an upcoming text-to-3D model generator, developed in partnership with stock asset library Shutterstock.
Promoting a new beta program, probably for developers of third-party AI tools The video, which promotes a new beta program, seemingly for developers of third-party AI art tools for the Unity game engine, was released during Game Developers Conference 2023. Unity has posted a teaser video for Unity AI, a mysterious initiative it describes as “building an open and unique AI ecosystem that will put AI-powered game-development tools in the hands of millions of creators”.
