Tencent Releases Hunyuan World Model

[xinayder]

This looks really cool. I only have two remarks:

- the examples showing someone controlling the character using a controller are fake, you can see the joystick motion doesn't correspond to what's happening in the 3D world

- Tencent says you can integrate this model in your workflow, but what would it be used for, since it uses its own file formats? Is it mainly for conceptual art, or can you actually make it generate a BSP map, for example, which you can import to Hammer (Source Engine map editor) or TrenchBroom?

Is this primarily for a skybox? It mentions interactivity does this mean it can generate entities and properties on a large scale?

This was unthinkable a couple of years ago. Will this be the basis for truly personalised open world games?

[echelon]

It's coming. It won't be this model in particular, but rather something that looks more like DiamondWM or Google Genie.

There are dozens of companies working on this right now.
