" AIGC，成为游戏生产力的工业化尝试。 " 作者丨胡家铭 编辑丨董子博 5月20日，腾讯发布了旗下第一款AI驱动的游戏视觉生成平台（下称"混元游戏"）。 目前的游戏行业，美术资产的制作通常要分为原画、建模、场景等多个环节，中间还涉及2D、3D等多种 不同的美术资产，在目前人工为主的游戏美术部门里，大量工业化美术资源的生产，仍然依赖于多个工具 切换，不同工种合作的传统模式。 而对于中小制作的厂商或者独立开发者来说，美术资源的生产往往是个难题，除了靠自身人脉招徕的"靠 谱"美术，多数仍然依赖于目前的AI模型或者外包，生成效果不稳定，且成本并不可控。 但在大量头部项目里，多数游戏资产是以工业化和"标准件"形式存在的。如果按照传统模式去生产制作， 效果自然不必担心，但在AI时代，效率显然还有提升的空间。 但就实际工作流而言，无论是三视图，还是具体到游戏角色的身体比例与部件构成，目前大多数仍然依赖 人工。 首先是目前AI生成的原画，仍然避免不了幻觉成分，放到原画或者三维生成领域，则是会产生许多自相矛 盾的结构与效果。而且与摄影领域"原图直出"的效果类似，后期修改的成本高过人工按美术想法再做一 个，并非不可能。 加之 ...
