Roblox announced plans to introduce an open source generative AI tool that allows game creators to build 3D environments and objects using text prompts. The feature, still under development, may streamline the process of creating game worlds on the platform, potentially opening up game creation to those without extensive 3D design skills. The AI tool is based on a 3D foundational model and will allow users to make modifications.
