Artificial intelligence Library
Introduction
Bring life to your applications
Bring a new dimension of realism and credibility to your 3D experiences with the 3DVIA Virtools AI Library. This add-on library of building blocks is especially geared toward managing autonomous characters. The AI Library enables development teams to create applications with all the power of AI, directly in the 3DVIA Virtools platform.
AI Library New Features
- Generate pathfinding for complex 3D environments using high-level tools specially geared for game developers
- Add playable characters to your prototype or game using autonomous agents thanks to the AI Library 2.0
- Benefit from user friendly tools for path data generation
Building Blocks for Enhanced Gameplay
The AI Library includes two types of building blocks: first to give independent characters insight into their environment with visual and aural sensory abilities, and second to manage characters’ subsequent actions with high-level behaviors (follow, run away, hide, etc.). The AI building blocks are used just like standard 3DVIA Virtools building blocks, with parameters for adjusting criteria, such as stealth, auditory capabilities and group dynamics.
Reduce Production Cycle and Development Risks
Creating autonomous, reactive characters is a complex task. Character integration is usually done late in the production cycle, when it’s most difficult to test and validate new concepts and tweak behaviors and gameplay. Given the foundations of the 3DVIA Virtools platform -based on attributing behaviors to objects- autonomous character management becomes just another logical step in the overall development process. The AI Library relies on 3DVIA Virtools intuitive development methods, enabling trigger smart character behavior by assembling the appropriate building blocks.
