![]() Generally speaking, the kind of overriding principle that we follow is that we think that games are becoming platforms, but more specific to us, we think creation is becoming part of the gameplay and so that’s where we try to target Atlas’ technology.”Īlthough Atlas is currently only available for enterprise and commercial use, the startup plans to begin alpha testing for a public platform in the coming months. “So constantly evolving and changing maps, adding elements of user-generated content that is stylistically consistent into these gameplay mechanics. “One of the things that I think we’ve done pretty effectively is we’ve worked with some really high-profile game developers to help build out large virtual worlds, but where we see a tremendous need for this type of technology is to help smaller indie game developers create these worlds, games that would be impossible to create otherwise,” James said. And what we started playing around with at Atlas was if there was a way to connect machine vision learning information from 2D imagery, and bringing that into the 3D world.”Įarly on, Atlas received a research grant from the European Union’s High-Level Expert Group on AI and built its technology in accordance with the union’s Ethical Guidelines for Trustworthy Artificial Intelligence. 2D drawings like plans and sections and elevations are inherently embedded with three dimensional information through line weights, annotations, etc. “I’m a self-taught coder and I thought that there would maybe be an interesting way to look at architecture through the guise of machine vision. “I’ve worked a lot at the intersection of design and technology,” James told TechCrunch in an interview. The Vienna-based startup was founded in early 2021 by Ben James, who is a self-taught coder and has a background in architecture. ![]() Atlas allows developers to generate detailed 3D models from reference images and text. The platform partners with game developers and brands to build virtual worlds in a fraction of the time it takes using traditional methods. ![]() The funding consists of two rounds: a $4.5 million round led by 6th Man Ventures (6MV) and a $1.5 million round led by Collab+Currency. Atlas, a 3D generative AI platform, is launching with $6 million in seed funding after two years in stealth. ![]()
