Decentralized generative AI platform 404-GEN has announced a partnership with Unity. This integration makes it the first blockchain-based 3D model generation plug-in that enables users to generate models directly from its Bittensor subnet (404 is Bittensor Subnet 17) within the Unity environment.
In addition to its blockchain innovation, 404-GEN generates its 3D models using Gaussian Splatting techniques to ensure fast and high quality production-ready assets.
As part of its integration process, Unity’s technical team carried out a thorough evaluation of the technology, which resulted in the redevelopment of some AI dependencies to ensure the commercial viability of the AI-generated models. 404-GEN also introduced what it calls a digital handshake to streamline both creative and legal workflows.
“This integration is an important step for our ecosystem. It enables creators to work directly with decentralized 3D generation tools within the Unity editor, levelling the playing field for independent developers and designers,” commented 404-GEN founder Ben James.
“Our technology bridges traditional game development and decentralized networks, offering a practical solution that meets the commercial standards expected in the industry.”
Collaborating with Unity could also be a mark of a growing openness among established web2 companies to collaborate with decentralized subnets on Bittensor, which is built on Polkadot’s Substrate SDK.
The 404 Unity plugin is available in the Unity Asset Store.
