Technical Research

unreal engine Character assets & ai systems

The studies below are mostly focused on humanoid and creature character design and animation. The humanoid characters primarily use pre-rendered animation, but some motion capture is used for the face and body. The creature characters are primarily using procedural animation. In this section, there is also a short study on AI dialogue generation and needs-based motivation system for characters.

Unreal engine architecture assets & ai Systems

The architectural studies below are mostly focused on real-time architecture generation via agent systems; currently, there are almost no systems that allow agents to build and terraform worlds continuously in the engine. Several other novel methods of architectural generation are also employed and tested, in addition to a general architecture sketchbook using standard software (rhino, grasshopper).

unreal engine Texture, post process, ui

The studies below are mostly focused on textures, materials, post process and UI

music & visuals

The works below are mostly experimental music and genAI visual works; essentially, they are cinematic post-cyberpunk music. They are made with a combination of live hardware, ableton and kaiber.ai.

AI text generation

The systems below are primarily related computational language generation. One of the pieces is a large corpus of poetry from (almost) all times and places that can be used to train ML systems. One of the other pieces is a real time geo-located social media analysis and language generation toolkit. And the final piece is a hardware configuration that easily allows for projection in the city.
