Playrix

Let's talk about how artificial intelligence helps in mobile game development. At Playrix we use AI every day and we are ready to share some insights. Today we will focus on the creation of art objects. 🤖 AI is used by more than 400 artists in the company, and it creates more than 200,000 thousand art objects for Playrix every month. 🤖 Our core AI tool "Jupiter" was developed in-house. It is a deployed Stable Diffusion neural network, supplemented with a number of necessary extensions that significantly improve the network's functionality. Based on sketches, the network's models can create an accurate outline of an image, draw a depth map of an object, change a character's pose or emotion by recognizing its "skeleton," and perform many other actions. 🤖 However, AI cannot replace an Artist. Humans play a key role in the creation of our art objects, from brainstorming to final editing. We are always eager to invite talented artists to join our team and show them the unlimited possibilities of developing their skills using AI and other technologies.
