Transforming 3D Creation: The Power of YellowSculpt We're excited to share a fantastic article by Jon Peddie Research that dives deep into how Yellow is advancing the 3D creative process with our innovative product, YellowSculpt. By simply typing a description, artists can now create pre-rigged, animatable 3D characters ready for integration into top game engines and 3D software. ?? A special shout-out to our wonderful data partners at Tafi for supporting us on this journey. ?? Read the full story here ?? #3DArt #GenerativeAI

Today A16Z GAMES is thrilled to lead the $5M seed round for Yellow, who's revolutionizing 3D character creation with generative AI and is developed by a team of top academics. Despite rapid progress in 2D image generation, 3D has remained stubbornly difficult and expensive due to challenges like maintaining clean topology (e.g. water-tight meshes) and requiring numerous intermediate representations (meshes, UV maps, textures, rigs). This complexity makes high-quality 3D incredibly time- and skill-intensive, with top-tier character models taking weeks and costing upwards of $10K. Generative AI hopes to democratize this process by reducing the costs and skill needed to create commercial quality characters. When we first met Yellow's founder, CEO Mandeep Waraich, we were astounded by his infectious energy and drive.. As the former Head of CoreML and Large Models at Google, Mandeep's deep learning expertise and passion for the arts made him the ideal fit for this challenge. Yellow is also developed alongside a team of top academics like: Vincent Sitzmann, from MIT's Scene Representation Group, Christian Rupprecht, who's an Associate Professor at Oxford, and Ludwig Schmidt, who's an acting Assistant Professor in Stanford's Computer Vision Group. What sets Yellow apart is their focus on empowering human creativity through AI. Rather than aiming for pure automation, they're building tools that amplify today's 3D artists while making character creation accessible to all. So, we're thrilled to support Yellow on their journey.

Incredibly gratifying to see our team Yellow's hard work - in bringing professional grade 3D AI creativity tools to the gaming, media and entertainment industries - manifest in the form of our first product YellowSculpt. Yellow was started with a vision to amplify and accelerate human creativity and expression through magical new tools and products. YellowSculpt is our first step in that direction. YellowSculpt enables anyone to generate a pre-rigged, UV-unwrapped humanoid mesh with perfect topology from a single text prompt in just a few minutes. Importantly, this is not just a black-box AI generation, but a sophisticated tool with editability and control! You can use these character meshes in game design, world building or creative storytelling. We've released the product to select customers and game studios for now, and will be bringing it to several game design engines, 3D authoring tools and developer platforms in near future. We'll also be extending YellowSculpt, which today generates humanoid characters, to fantasy characters, as well as generating lifelike expressions and motion to these characters.?These are building blocks of a future where anyone can freely imagine and express their innate creativity. ??? This journey is made joyful and inspiring by our incredible teammates at Yellow - it's not an overstatement to say that every single day is a source of inspiration, growth, joy and creativity with you all. We are fortunate to have some of the most generous and supportive investors at Andreessen Horowitz that one can ask for. Jonathan Lai, Jack Soslow and Troy Kirwin - thank you for the multiplicative effect that you've had on our journey so far! And thank you Ben Horowitz and Martin Casado for your continued mentorship and good spirits. Also massive thanks to our flagship 3D studio partners Tafi who were the first to place trust in Yellow and our vision. We're delighted to be on this inspiring and joyful journey with you all! Here's to a bright and sunshine future for all! ????
