Tencent Games officially launched a game creation AI toolset called VISVISE at the recent Cologne International Game Show. The product aims to significantly improve the efficiency of game artists and reduce repetitive work.
According to the introduction, the VISVISE toolset covers four core areas: animation production, model production, digital asset management, and intelligent NPCs. The most attention-grabbing is the MotionBlink animation generation tool, which can automatically complete the intermediate frames based on the keyframes input by users, quickly generating a complete animation sequence.
The Tencent Games technical team stated that using the MotionBlink tool, a 10-second animation that previously required several days to create can now be generated in just 4 seconds, producing 200 frames. The efficiency improvement reaches 8 times. This tool not only significantly reduces the workload of animators but also produces animation quality that can reach optical motion capture levels in some cases.
In traditional animation production processes, manually filling in frames usually takes up most of an animator's working time. The launch of MotionBlink effectively solves this pain point. Users who experienced it on-site reported that this technology greatly lowers the threshold for character animation production, providing strong technical support for small development teams and independent creators.
Other than MotionBlink, VISVISE also includes GoSkinning, a tool specifically designed to address efficiency issues in 3D character skinning. The traditional skinning process is complex and time-consuming, while GoSkinning achieves automated processing through AI technology. According to test data, processing a 3D model with 20,000 vertices using this tool takes only 30 seconds, significantly improving work efficiency.
Tencent Games stated that the release of the VISVISE toolset is not only a breakthrough in technology but also represents a re-design of the entire game development workflow. Through the application of AI technology, artists can focus more on creative design and artistic creation rather than heavy technical operations.
Industry experts believe that as AI technology is deeply applied in the game development field, the traditional content creation model is undergoing fundamental changes. Toolsets like VISVISE are expected to drive the entire game industry towards a more efficient and intelligent direction.
Currently, Tencent Games has not announced the specific release date or usage method of the VISVISE toolset, but stated that it will continue to optimize the relevant technology and provide more comprehensive AI-assisted tools for game developers.
