Roblox is introducing two new AI technologies to reduce the time it takes to create avatars and 3D models, the company announced on Monday.
Once a creator select the new feature, Roblox will run a number of tests over an asset and automatically rig, cage, segment and skin 3D models.
The second feature is called “Texture Generator,” and enables creators to quickly change the look of 3D objects using plain language text prompts.
For example, you can enter a text prompt to create texture for a 3D wooden treasure chest.
With Texture Generator, Roblox is enabling creators to do the same thing within 15 to 30 seconds.
Cultivated Biosciences, a Swiss biotechnology food startup says it has solved this with the development of its yeast cream, derived from a specific type of oleaginous yeast, that mimics the texture and mouthfeel of traditional cream.
This method is also non-GMO and is easier to scale, said Lucie Rein, chief commercial officer at Cultivated Biosciences.
Cultivated Biosciences is designing its end product to go into consumer products, for example, like coffee creamers, milk and ice cream.
We also replaced the whitening agents, so we actually replace everything, and we stay stable.”Over the past year, Cultivated Biosciences has worked on scaling.
Cultivated Biosciences is joining them, having raised another $5 million recently.
One of the challenges for alternative proteins, particularly plant-based, is developing a product that mimics the taste of traditional meat.
The company is making “hybrid meat, dairy and eggs” it says, by combining traditional animal proteins with plant-based ingredients.
“We use our meat proteins, oils, water and spices to get to our formulation, and that allows us to create a clean-label product,” Even told TechCrunch.
Our meat proteins cook in the same manner, the same temperature range, etc.
Signed contractsAt two years old, Ingrediome is still pretty early, and it will be at least two more years before it can manufacturer enough product to sell to traditional meat companies.
