Epic Games announced on Wednesday the launch of a Loci integration to assist creators with the labor-intensive process of tagging 3D assets as well as to help detect potential intellectual property (IP) violations.
Loci, which uses computer vision models to understand 3D content, automatically tags 3D assets, making content easier to search, share, and discover. Due to the large number of assets that creators often need to manage, the new integration is likely to be very helpful, as the process can be very time-consuming.
However, not only will the integration address the challenges associated with manual tagging, but it’ll also help identify possible IP infringements. Fortnite has encountered issues before where numerous players brought in elements from popular IPs, including Mario Kart and Shrek.
The AI technology will be integrated across the Epic ecosystem, including in Unreal Editor for Fortnite (UEFN) and Fab, the marketplace for selling and buying digital assets.
