Avalon - Improving Validation of Match-3 Level Generation | AI and Games Conference 2024. Avalon is a new method designed to enhance level generation by providing more control over the generation process, while ensuring the creation of more solvable levels. In particular, we generate layouts of match-3 levels where the level designers can select visual features like size and symmetry and gameplay statistics such as difficulty.

A difficult problem to solve when scanning performers’ faces is to eliminate the involuntary tilt and rotation of the performer’s skull so that all the scans of their different facial expressions line up perfectly. Check out SEED’s new paper and video presentation “A Theory of Stabilization by Skull Carving” by Mathieu Lamarre, Patrick Anderson, and Etienne Danvoye for a new approach to dealing with the challenge of distinguishing rigid skull motions from facial expressions. https://lnkd.in/gEguRd3g The paper is being presented this week at SIGGRAPH Asia 2024 in Tokyo by Mathieu Lamarre. This paper leverages recent advances in neural signed distance fields and differentiable isosurface meshing. The new approach, called “skull carving,” computes skull stabilization transformations directly on unstructured triangle meshes or point clouds. Our skull carving algorithm can accurately stabilize complex expressions for diverse groups of people, outperforming existing methods. #gamedev #WeAreEA #siggraphasia2024

Announcing Colin Barré-Brisebois as General Manager of SEED.

SEED is always reaching out to students fascinated by game technology. Last week, about 50 computer science students from KTH Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm visited the DICE offices for presentations that provided them concrete insights and examples into working life in the game industry. Included in the presentations were talks about SEED’s technology from Mónica Villanueva Aylagas, Alessandro Sestini, and Konrad Tollmar. Also presenting for DICE were Mikael Uddholm, Emelie Fuller, and Björn Hedberg during the Q&A. #gamedev #WeAreEA

How will generative AI be used in game development? With new creative tools, development of in-game ML models, and more sophisticated game testing. EA’s own Jeff S. sat down for an in-depth fireside chat on generative AI in gaming at the Devcom Developer Conference in Colonge, Germany. Jeff discusses automating complex tasks such as content generation and asset creation, enhancing creative processes through advanced AI-driven design tools, and delivering personalized, dynamic gameplay experiences.
