TENCENT(HK:00700) 3 6 Ke·2025-08-26 01:52Core Insights - The article highlights the significant advancements in AI technology within the gaming industry, particularly showcased at the recent Devcom developer conference alongside the Cologne International Game Show. Major companies like Microsoft, Tencent, Google, and Meta presented over 20 discussions focused on how AI can enhance game art production efficiency and integrate seamlessly with traditional workflows [1][3]. Group 1: AI Tools and Solutions - Tencent Games launched its AI-driven comprehensive game creation solution, VISVISE, which includes tools for animation production, model creation, digital asset management, and intelligent NPCs, aimed at alleviating the repetitive and labor-intensive tasks in game art development [3][8]. - The MotionBlink tool within VISVISE can automatically complete animation sequences based on minimal user input, significantly reducing the time required for animation production from several days to just seconds [3][15]. - The GoSkinning tool, part of VISVISE, automates the skinning process for 3D models, improving efficiency by up to 60% in animation skinning tasks, and has been successfully implemented in popular games like "PUBG Mobile" and "Peacekeeper Elite" [8][24]. Group 2: Challenges in Game Art Production - Traditional game art production consumes 50%-60% of time on asset creation, with 3D modeling and animation being the most labor-intensive processes. The complexity of these tasks often leads to inefficiencies, particularly in skinning and animation adjustments [9][10]. - The article discusses the limitations of traditional methods such as manual keyframing and motion capture, which can be time-consuming and require extensive corrections, highlighting the need for AI solutions to streamline these processes [10][11]. Group 3: Development and Future of AI in Gaming - Tencent's approach to developing VISVISE was driven by actual development needs, beginning its exploration of AI in gaming as early as 2016. The system was officially launched in 2024, integrating various AI tools tailored to different aspects of game creation [24][26]. - The future of AI in gaming is seen as a critical area for development, with the potential for AI to enhance NPC interactions and create more immersive gaming experiences. The relationship between gaming and AI is described as symbiotic, with games serving as both a testing ground and a catalyst for AI advancements [29][30][32].
