Revolutionizing 3D Content: Epic Games Partners with Loci to Streamline Asset Tagging and IP Protection
In an exciting development, Epic Games has officially acquired Loci, a cutting-edge AI platform designed for automating the tagging of 3D assets. This partnership aims to revolutionize the creative process for content creators by simplifying the labor-intensive task of asset tagging and enhancing the detection of potential intellectual property violations.
Loci leverages state-of-the-art computer vision models to automatically tag 3D assets, making them more accessible for search, sharing, and discovery. With creators often managing a vast array of assets, this integration is set to be a game-changer, saving valuable time and resources in the content creation process.
Beyond just streamlining tagging processes, Loci’s technology also plays a crucial role in identifying potential IP infringements. This is particularly crucial in a space like Fortnite, where past instances of copyright issues have arisen due to the unauthorized use of popular IPs like Mario Kart and Shrek.
Moving forward, Loci’s AI technology will be seamlessly integrated across the Epic ecosystem, including Unreal Editor for Fortnite (UEFN) and Fab, the digital assets marketplace. The terms of the deal remain undisclosed, but the impact of this collaboration is expected to be significant in the world of 3D content creation.
