Samsung's upcoming One UI 8.5 update is expected to introduce a new 3D look for app icons, featuring shadows and curves, along with a refreshed design language for stock apps, including a simplified tab bar. These changes are still in early development and may not be finalized for all apps or devices yet.
Rooms, a 3D design app and "cozy game," has received a major update, introducing new features such as an activity feed, an explore page, and the ability to browse by category. The app, created by ex-Google employees, has seen a significant increase in users, now boasting a quarter of a million registered users. The update also includes improvements to the Remix feature, mesh optimization for faster rendering, and plans for future AI-powered tools. Rooms is also set to launch a desktop app on Steam and is considering an Android app in the future.
Adobe introduces new AI features in Substance 3D design software suite, including "Text to Texture" for generating textures from prompt descriptions and "Generative Background" tool for creating background images using text prompts. These features use 2D imaging technology and are available in beta versions of Substance 3D Sampler 4.4 and Stager 3.0, trained on Adobe-owned assets and licensed Adobe stock.
Generative AI is being used to democratize 3D design and make art accessible to everyone. Companies like Midjourney and Adobe are using generative AI to create stunning 2D images from text prompts. 3DFY.ai's 3DFY Prompt app is an example of how generative AI can help someone create a base model that can later be improved on. While generative AI can automate mundane tasks and inspire artists, it won't replace true artistry anytime soon. The ethical use of generative art is still a concern, but setting guidelines early on can help steer the technology in the right direction.
