AI tools mostly for game makers: 3D models from text or images, character animation captured from ordinary video, conversational NPCs, game art and pixel art.
Most of what lives here is aimed at people building games rather than playing them.

That makes them most useful to solo developers and small studios trying to reach a playable prototype without a full art team.

Will it survive your engine?
A 3D model that looks good in a demo render can still be unusable in a game. Hyper3D Rodin aims at game-ready models from text or an image, and Masterpiece X AI adds rigging so the model can be animated. Import a test asset into your engine and check polygon count, textures and scale before you build a pipeline around any of them.
Motion without a mocap suit
Move.ai, DeepMotion and Kinetix Tech turn ordinary 2D video into 3D animation data. Film one awkward movement, such as a fast turn or a fall, and run the same clip through each before choosing.
Characters and art
Inworld AI builds characters that hold conversations with the player, and Scenario generates game art assets. For lighter fun, see Entertainment.
