Join Luis Placid and Shazzy Gustafson of ICVR for an in-depth look at how publicly available AI tools can drastically accelerate 3D content creation for Unreal Engine—and explore areas where it still falls short.

This case study shows how a handcrafted Unreal Engine scene was recreated from the ground up using AI tools and workflows. The session highlights the most effective generative AI use cases, as well as the areas where AI struggled to match the original handcrafted quality benchmark, including 2D-to-3D character generation, environment creation with neural splats, automated character rigging, and AI-driven animation.

Whether you're an artist, developer, technical director, or creative, this talk aims to demystify AI workflows in Unreal Engine, highlight various challenges and solutions, and show where and how you can begin leveraging these tools today to unlock new creative possibilities for you and your team.

Topics include the best publicly available AI tools for UE production tasks; how AI tools function in UE production and how to integrate them into workflows; where AI tools can provide the biggest efficiency gains and best results versus handcrafted production; where AI tools often fall short of the quality benchmark and should potentially be avoided in the near term; and how AI tools can empower artists to execute their original creative vision versus. simply replacing the artist.
