The Animate Anything service is currently in an early access stage. As with all innovations we’ve honed the spec for our MVP, choosing to offer a wide variety of categories for launch with a basic support function, so whilst Animate Anything is in its ”experimental phase” please bear with us.

To begin let's open the Animate Anything web tool and sign in or sign up to get started.

Proceed to the upload page to upload your model to the Animate Anything web tool. You can either drag and drop or Browser your computer for the 3D model files.

When your files are uploaded you will see a list appear underneath of the drag and drop box. In this example we have provided an OBJ file which requires an MTL (and a PNG file for the texture of the model when applicable.)

Once all files are uploaded, please review the model processing constraints and tick the checkbox to enable the continue button. Select continue to proceed to the next stage.

On the left side of the page you will see your 3D model appear and to the right you will see the model name and model type textboxes. If there is any uncertainty regarding the model types, select the question mark icon to learn more about the most common names for your model.

Provide the name you would like to give this model as well as what kind of model it is. In this example, I've uploaded a dog so the model type would be dog or canine. The model type field will check your input to make sure it's a verified subcategory. Then select the continue button.

You will be navigated to the model category page so that we can confirm that you are receiving the correct rig for your model. The model type correctly categorized the example model as a Canine & Feline under the quadruped category however there may be a circumstance where you will need to manually change the subcategory. Simply select a valid subcategory for your model to process. Select the continue button to proceed.

The next step is to ensure that the model is facing the correct direction, if you followed the Preparing your 3D model guide than your model should match the rotation reference image. If your model does not match the rotation reference, we can fix it right from this view. You can select the quarter circle on any of the front, side, or top views of your model to rotate.

If you make any mistakes and want to revert back to the original rotations, you can always select the 'Reset rotation' button to go back to default. Once the model is aligned with the rotation reference all that is required is to select if the model is symmetrical or not. The purpose of this symmetry identifier so to provide the best possible rig for both situations. In the next stage we will demonstrate how this effects the generation of the rig. Select continue to proceed.

Depending on the category selected during the previous page, your model will follow one of three paths.

• Animation Workflow: You've uploaded a humanoid or animal to rig and animate the model.

• Parts Workflow: You've uploaded a vehicle such as a car or bike to separate the various parts (wheels) for animation.

• Static Workflow: You've uploaded an object that does not require animations such as an object or flora.

Animation Workflow:

Now that the Tweak your rig page has displayed, it's time to double check that we are happy with the results of the rig. We can rotate the model in the 3D view port by clicking and dragging and we can zoom using the middle scroll button. In this example, the auto-rigging process did a great job in placing the nodes however it's recommended to do some fine-tuning to receive the best possible results.

To adjust the bones of this rig, select the desired red node and use the provided arrow gizmo to move the node in 3D space. This gizmo should look familiar if you have used a 3D modeling software like Blender, Maya, 3DsMax, or even Unity and Unreal.

Remember during the last step we provided the information about it's symmetry? Since we marked this model as symmetrical, we can see it in action with the Mirror selection option. Additionally when you select any of the leg nodes, you'll see that the mirrored node is also selected. This feature is to simplify the process of make sure that the arm and leg bones remain perfectly symmetrical.

If you were to mark your model as asymmetrical, this option would be irrelevant and is not displayed.

Keep in mind that you can always revert to the default rig by selecting the Reset Rig option. The same is true for the camera position of the 3D model viewport.

Once we are happy with the rig we can proceed to the file step, select the View Animations button to continue.

You will be redirected to our loading page while Animate Anything is animating your model. Once the animations have completed you will be navigated to the Animation page to see your final results!

Finally, we can see the animations in action! The page will display your 3D model's animation in the 3D view port to the left and a list of animations on right. From here you can select each animation buttons to view it in the 3D view port.

You can download a single animation by selecting the Download button in the viewport or download all animations by selecting the Download all animations button.

This version of the rigged and animated model will be saved in your "My World" page. This model will also be accessible in your favorite Anything World plugin to streamline the process!

Parts Workflow:

All steps up until this point are the same as the other flows. Once we have applied the correct rotation and marked as symmetrical or asymmetrical from the rotation view, we can select the continue button to proceed.

Once completed, you will be automatically be re-directed to the parts viewer page. The right panel will display the model parts key which represents the identified parts of the model. In the provided example we have a body (blue), a front wheel (pink), and a hind wheel (green).

This means that when download this model, there should be three separate mesh files. One for the front wheel, one for the hind wheel, and one for the body.

These parts will retain their global position when imported to your favorite 3D software or game engine!

Static Workflow:

Here we have uploaded a palm tree as our example, once the tree has been identified we can proceed to the category page.

Once we have ensured that the model is categorized as a static model, we can proceed to the rotation page by selecting the continue button.

Here we can see how the model will be displayed when either importing the model to a Anything World plugin or when downloading the model.

Processing a static model is a very fast process and should take less than 2 minutes to complete.

From this view you can see your model as it will appear across all of the Anything World plugins as well as download the model as an OBJ file.

My World - Processed Models

All workflows will lead you to the processed models section of the My World page. Here you can see your personal repository uploaded models.

Can the Animate Anything web tool animate...

What would happen if I upload an unsupported model and gave it a category of a supported model?

That's a great question! In terms of extreme and even most mild cases where the uploaded mesh does not resemble the subcategory, you will likely fail to process. In some minor cases, users can successfully rig and animate a model that closely resembles the desired subcategory.

Can we redo the rig after the model has finished the Animate Anything process?

Unfortunately there is no way to re-rig the model once the model has completed the Animate Anything process, however we intend to fix that in the near future!

My textures or materials aren't displayed when I upload my model to Animate Anything! How do I fix this?

3D models lose reference to the necessary external image files often, especially when downloading them from 3D model website. Make sure those external image files are connected or associated properly in your 3D file. We recommend opening the file in Blender first to ensure that the file structure didn't break.

If your model looks like this then you most likely have a broken reference (meaning the picture file is not where the 3D file expected it to be). If this is the case there is an easy fix, (Assuming we are using Blender) simply open the Shader Editor by selecting the top left icon icon of any of the panels and navigating to the Shader Editor option under the General panels.

In the 3D viewport, change to Object mode and select the component that is missing texture (or open the material's properties panel).

From here we should see a box that is connected to the base color parameter for the Principled BSDF node. Selecting the file icon should open a file browser, from here navigate to the the missing texture file. Repeat for any relevant files (normals, metallic, etc.) by finding the associate parameter and replacing the missing file in Shader Editor.

Can I animate my generated models?

Yes! Models that are created using our Generate Anything tool can then be animated using our Animate Anything tool. Keep in mind however, that the model needs to fit into our supported categories in order to successfully receive a rig and animations.

What format will my generated model be in?

Generated models are provided in the following formats: FBX, GLB, GLTF, OBJ & USDZ Downloads include both the mesh and texture of the model.

Can I edit my generated models?

Absolutely! Generated Models can be downloaded as-is and can be opened in 3D editing software to make any adjustments you like.

How does API billing work?

You will have a monthly free API call limit depending on the tier. This limit includes all requests made from the model browser in editor (eg. clicking on a model and bringing it into the scene in Unity) and during the runtime of the project (eg. calling a model through the scripting API in engine, making a request directly to our API).

You will be notified via email when you are 100 requests away from reaching your free allowance in the month, after the free requests have been reached the API calls will be paid on a per request basis.

For more information on tiers and to calculate usage fees visit our website.

What platforms do you support?

We offer an Anything World plugin which can be installed on the Unity and Unreal game engines, with additional platforms coming soon! Projects can be packaged for computers, web browsers, mobile platforms and others using the game engines. Our library of 3D models can also be found in our website, and please see the next section for custom model processing.

Can I add custom models?

We're pleased to announce that users can upload and animate their own models through the Animate Anything web tool. See our guide on Getting the Best Possible Results for your Model for more details on preparing your model for Animate Anything.

We also support also support uploading models through API request and with our Python Package.

We're open to discussing custom content with select partners! Reach us at hello@anything.world.

I have a feature request or found a problem!

You can reach us via support@anything.world or connect with the community on Discord and we'll help out!

Please refer to this table for our current expectations of model generation from our Generate Anything tool by category, as well as whether or not that category can then be animated using our Animate Anything tools.

Download v1.1.0.1

You can download the package from your profile in Anything World's website.

This page introduces the Anything World plugin for Unreal Engine 5 and gives indications on how to install it and start using it. This plugin allows you to browse for static and animated 3D models in Unreal and spawn them directly in your Unreal projects.

Requirements:

• Unreal Engine 5.0, 5.1, 5.2, 5.3 or 5.4.

• Unreal C++ Project

• Visual Studios 2019

• Anything World Account Details

• Anything World SDK

Create your Anything World Account

Create an account through the Anything World website to get access to the Anything World SDK for Unreal.

Set up the Anything World SDK

Step 1:

Download the latest version of the Anything World plugin for Unreal Engine 5 (not the Unity package) from your account page in Anything World’s website.

Step 2:

In your file browser, extract the “AnythingWorld” plugin folder from the zip file.

Step 3:

In your file browser, copy the “AnythingWorld” folder and paste it inside the “Plugins” folder of your Unreal project.

Step 4:

Open your Unreal project in the Unreal Editor of Unreal Engine 5. In the main menu bar, navigate to “Edit” → “Plugins” to open the plugins available in your project. In a section called “Other”, you should see the Anything World plugin and tick the plugin’s checkbox.

Step 5:

You will then see an “AnythingWorld” section in the main menu bar of the Unreal Editor. You can click it to show “Settings” and “Anything Search”. Click “Anything Search”.

Step 6:

Log in to your Anything World account. Internally, this action will grant the plugin access to your Anything World API key, which is necessary to interact with our server.

Step 7:

Now you should be able to see the landing page of the Anything World browser, which you may want to dock. You can see the featured models on the top, and other relevant sections of models below, such as those with the highest number of likes and the most used models.

Step 8:

You can search for specific models by entering a query in the text bar and pressing enter. After a small time, results will appear, and you may want to filter and sort them with the available options if you want.

Step 9:

Clicking on any model will add it to your current level, where you can manipulate it as any actor. If the model’s thumbnail in the browser had a play icon in the top left corner, it means it is an animated model, so you will be able to see it playing animations when you play in the level.

Step 10:

For the model to be able to move through the world with a simple default random movement behaviour, you need to add a NavMeshBoundsVolume to the level.

Step 11:

If you now press the play button, you will see how the model moves around!

Quick Setup:

Step 1: Create an Unreal 5.2 Project

Open the Unreal 5.2 Project Browser, choose your template, and change the project to C++:

Once created, the Visual Studio Code IDE should automatically open along with the Unreal 5.2 editor.

Step 2: Add the Anything 5.2 plugin to the project's plugins folder.

Navigate to the project folder by opening Documents > Unreal Projects > Project

Create a new folder and name it Plugins then copy and paste the Anything World folder inside the newly created project's plugins folder.

Restart the Unreal 5.2 project and allow the AnythingWorld.dylib to run by opening the System Preferences for Mac and navigate to Security & Privacy.

Once all of the applications have been accepted re-open the project from within the Epic Games Launcher and you should have access to the Anything World plugin!

The Generate Anything service is currently in an early access stage, so whilst Generate Anything is in these earlier stages, please bear with us! Before anything else, you need to started by opening Animate Anything website and signing in or signing up.

Next, you have to decide if you want to create a model using either our Image to 3D tool, or out Text to 3D tool. To begin with, we'll take a look at Image to 3D, but go ahead and scroll ahead if you're looking for Text to 3D instead.

Image to 3D Model Generation

Firstly, navigate to Generate Anything, which can be found on the top right of the Anything World toolbar.

On the Generate Anything homepage, select "Create from image" (right-hand button)

Either Drag and drop your image file or click "Browse your files" to navigate to the image file you want to use. Remember to refer to our Best Practices for Best Results page before uploading so you can properly prepare your image for the best outcome.

You can then add a Model Name in the provided text box, however this is optional. The mandatory checkbox confirms you have read and accepted our system constraints, as well as the terms of use of the tool.

When you're ready to proceed, press Generate.

After pressing Generate, you will be taken to the generation progress screen, which shows you the status of your generation. This process can take up to six minutes.

Once your model has finished processing, you will be presented with the finished generation.

From here, you can choose to download the model as-is, generate another model, or go ahead and animate the model using our Animate Anything tool. Your generated model will also be avaliable to view in My World, under generated models, so you can access it any time!

Text to 3D Model Generation

If you haven't already, navigate to Generate Anything, which can be found on the top right of the Anything World toolbar.

On the Generate Anything homepage, select "Create from Text prompt" (left-hand button)

Write your text prompt into the provided text box, then select the appropriate checkboxes.

The Optional checkbox provides an option to generate your model with a standard pose that would be best suited for animation, should you want to use this. If you have a particular pose in mind for your prompt, it is recommended that you keep this unchecked.

The mandatory checkbox confirms you have read and accepted our system constraints, as well as the terms of use of the tool.

When you're ready, hit Generate.

After pressing Generate, you will be taken to the generation progress screen, which shows you the status of your generation. This process can take up to six minutes.

Once your model has finished processing, you will be presented with the finished generation.

You can now decided to download the model as-is, generate another model, or animate the model using our Animate Anything tool. Your generated model will also be available to view in My World, under generated models, so you can access it any time!

Finding Your Models in My World

You can find all your successfully generated models in My World. To access this area, either select 'My World' from the dropdown menu when you hover over your profile image in the top right of the web application, or alternatively you can select 'My World' from the navigation on the left whilst on your personal Dashboard.

Once you navigate to My World, you can view your generated models by selecting the option 'Generated Models'. This will show you a truncated selection of your generated models. In order to view all models, be sure to select 'View All' on the right-hand side of the screen.

From the generated models screen, you can either select the model by clicking the thumbnail to be taken to the model viewer, where you can download your model, or you can press the 'Animate' button to be taken directly to the Animate Anything interface and start the process of animating the selected model.

Downloading & Animating Your Model

On the Model Viewer Screen you will be able to download your generated model. You can do this by pressing the button marked 'Download'

If you wish to animate your model using our Animate Anything tool, all you need to do is press the button marked 'Animate Model' which will lead you through the Animate Anything interface. For further information on this process, please refer to our documentation here.

Best Practices for: Image to 3D Model Generation

Images with busy backgrounds may cause issues with generation, including but not limited to unwanted textures and mesh misshaping. To avoid this, it is best to remove all backgrounds and keep the image focus entirely on the subject for your model.

Additionally, try to avoid having more than one subject in the image, otherwise the tool may not be able to determine which source to use for the model.

Higher resolution images may take a little longer to generate but will likely provide higher texture quality on the finished model.

If you are unable to separate your model source from the background, it is best that the background and subject have a contrast between them to help determine the model source. This can be done by having a bright background, or by increasing the intensity of colour, sharpness and detail of the model in the image.

Remember to consider that when using an image with a background there is always a chance that some of the background image may leak into the final texture, or some mesh irregularities may occur, especially in cases where the model source and background have similar colours.

Best practices for: Text to 3D Model Generation

Ensure your text prompts are clear and concise. Spelling errors may cause issues with generation, so be sure to proof read your prompt before generation.

When writing your text prompts, the level of detail matters depending on what you're after. For example, if you're looking for a generic cat model, you can simply use the prompt "cat". However, if you require specific details, you can include this in the prompt - for example "cat with a fluffy tail" would be some slight further detail specific to your generation.

You can take this further by being more precise, although generations with excessive detail may vary in quality depending on the category. Another example would be "pink cat with tiger print fur" which contains much more precise detail.

Colours can also be defined using text prompts, and this can also create variations in the result depending on the detail used. Using more precise colour specifics ("dark blue" "light blue") can be helpful, but general colours are likely to yield better results. Note that hex colour codes will not work.

Best practices for: Animating your Generated models

Generating models you want to animate with Animate Anything? Here are some tips to help ensure your model will meet the constraints of the Animate Anything system.

Make sure your model's category is supported by Animate Anything, you can find this out by referencing this table.

For all models, you need to ensure they still meet the constraints of our systems. For text prompt generated models, it can be useful to include the term 'symmetrical' (or just keeping the prompt refinement checkbox ticked) and for image generated models, having a subject with a visibly symmetrical shape can be helpful.

For biped human and humanoid models, the pose can be really important. We recommend generated models aim for an A-pose for these categories.

For further information on preparing a model for Animate Anything, you can take a look at our other documentation.

How to use the My World panel

The My World panel allows you to find your favourite models quickly. There are two ways to save the models in the My World panel.

My Likes:

Search for a model in the Anything Browser, then select the heart or “My Like” button on the best model. These models can be viewed in the “My Likes” view on the My World panel.

My Lists:

Search for a model in the Anything Browser, then select the list icon button on the right side of the model result box. When selected, the “My List” button will open a popup that allows you to add the model to a pre-existing collection or create a new collection.

Once a model is added to the collection, the model can be found in the “My Lists” view within the My World panel.

Reset Button

The reset button that is displayed as the circle icon allows you to reset the scene, reset the creator, or reset all. This option will appear in the Anything Browser panel and the My Like section of the My World panel.

Reset Scene:

This option will remove all assets that were provided by Anything World SDK from your scene. An additional pop-up box will appear to verify if you are sure you want to reset the scene.

Reset Creator:

This option will remove all search results, filters, and Make Option parameters applied for the Anything Browser and My World panels. An additional pop-up box will appear to verify if you are sure you want to reset the creator.

Reset All:

This option will remove all assets from the scene and return that Anything Browser and My World panels back to default. An additional pop-up box will appear to verify if you are sure you want to reset everything.

How to use the Anything Browser

The Anything Browser allows you to find animated and still models. Search for a 3D model by typing the keyword in the search bar and press the enter key to find the results. The filter options gives you control over the types of models that are displayed in the search results.

Importing models:

Models imported through the Anything World Unity package can be deserialized or serialized during the import process.

Deserialized Model Import:

Models will display in the active Unity scene as a GameObject within the Hierarchy panel without saving all the associated files of the model to the project. This occurs by default when the Serialize Asset parameter in the Make Settings is disabled. Simply click any of the models that appear in Anything Browser search results or the models that have been saved in the My World panel.

Serialized Model Import:

Models are serialized automatically when the 'Serialize Asset' parameter is enabled within the Make Settings.

Once the Serialize Asset button is enabled, and the Make Setting changes have been saved, all models selected from the Anything Browser or the My World panels will automatically be saved to the project. The files associated with the model will appear in the newly created 'Saved Assets' folder and each model's files will be added within separate folders.

Selecting the 'i' icon within the model preview results will open the info panel which contains details such as:

• Name of the model

• Author of the model

• Category of the animation

• Poly-count type

• Licensing Information

• Category of the model

• Relevant Tags

• Relevant Habitats

Model Info Buttons:

In addition to the relevant information for the model, there are several buttons in the model details panel.

Like button:

Selecting the heart icon will save the model to the 'My Likes' section of the My World panel to make it convenient to find models in the future.

Add to Collection:

Similar to the Like functionality, you can create various collections of models by selecting the list+ icon next to the like button. This provides a way to create a separate list of models that you would like to use in the future.

Report Model:

When selecting the Flag button, the report a model popup will appear which will provide a way to tell us that a model needs to be reviewed.

Add Model to Scene:

This option will import the model directly to your active Unity scene.

Add Model and Save Assets:

Selecting this option will import the model to your active Unity scene and save a copy of the assets associated with the model such as the mesh, material, and animation files. A new folder titled 'Saved Assets' is created in the Project panel of the Unity project. Each saved model will appear as a separate folder containing the aforementioned assets.

Make Options:

Selecting the Make Options button will open the Transform Settings panel for ease of access.

General:

• The Animate Model option allows you to choose if you want the model to have animations when moved to your scene.

• The Enable Maker Debug Messages option provides unity console messages about the models status when moved to your scene.

• The Place On Top of Ground option place the models above the floor in your scene.

• The Serialize Asset option allows users to create Prefabs from the selected model.

Physics:

• Add Collider: Automatically adds a collider component to the desired model.

• Add Rigidbody: Automatically adds a rigidbody component to the desired model.

Transform Options:

• Parent Transform allows you to input a parent object for your model when it is placed in the scene.

• Position enables you to select the starting place for your model based on the inputs given for the X, Y, and Z coordinates.

• Rotation gives you the ability to alter the orientation of the model when placed in the scene for the X, Y, and Z parameters.

• Scale Multiplier increases the size of the models on all coordinates by the input value that you provide.

Default Animation Behaviours:

• The Animated Behaviour option allows you to attach scripts to the models directly from the Anything Browser. This option comes with a default Random Movement script to help you get started.

• The Vehicle behaviours option can be used for providing functionality to cars and other four wheeled vehicles. This option comes with a default RandomFlyingMovement script to help you get started.

• The Flying Vehicle behaviours option is useful for adding functionality to planes and other forms of aviation models. This option comes with a default RandomFlyingMovement script to help you get started.

• The Flying Animal behaviours option enables you to add functionality to models such as birds and flying insects. This option comes with a default BirdsFlockingGoal script to help you get started.

• The Static behaviour option allows you to apply a mono script to the model that is static.

• The Shader behaviour option provides a way to attach custom shader scripts to the model.

Grid Options:

• Grid Gizmos: Button that displays the origin point in relation to the grid.

• Grid Origin: The starting position of the grid placement feature.

• Cell Width: The distance between each placed model.

• Grid Width: The row size of the grid.

• Use Grid Area: Enables the use of a GameObject area to distribute the grid on.

Grid Area:

We can use a GameObject as the area where the grid will distribute its elements on. Initially the new window with the grid area info requires to us to set which GameObject we want to use for the area (the area will be the bounding box of the GameObject).

Once we set the GameObject, the window will have more options:

We recommend to create a 3D plane as a GameObject, like in the image above. You can rotate the plane as you desire. While you have the grid area enabled, all models that you create will be added to the distribution of the area, until you press Finish (to keep all models) or Cancel (to remove all models from the grid). Also, you can modify any option of the grid area and all the models added will be redistributed to reflect the changes.

Distribution Mode: Fit

The Fit mode will distribute all the models evently throught the area. We only need to specify how many models we want per row, in the image above we want 2 models, so new rows are created to accommodate the rest of the models.

Distribution Mode: Clip

The Clip mode uses distance between models and it distributes models in a row until the X axis is filled and then a new row at the Z axis distance is created. In the above image we use 8 m in the X axis, and then 2 m in the Z axis (distance between rows).

View All Grid Positions

This option will show the position that will take the new models when they are added. It is a good way to know the distribution without creating yet the models.

Grow Outside Area (work in progress)

This option allows that models can be distributed out of the grid area for the Clip mode, otherwise the models that are placed outside the area are cancelled automatically.

Currently it is not implemented yet.

Ignore Area Collision

This option disables the collision mesh of the plane (the area GameObject) so all models will fall out until find a collision with the ground, for example. That way we can distribute the models over an irregular surface that is below the area, for example. For this to works we need to enable the Place on Top of Ground option from the Make Options:

Random Offset

This option creates an offset per model so the grid pattern is broken, while all the m odels keep its initial position, it is just moved a bit.

Reset:

The Reset button will return all edited Make settings to the default values.

Requirements:

• Unity 2020.3 - 2022.2

• Anything World Account Credentials

• Anything World SDK

• Optional: Microphone

Setting Up AI Creator

The AI Creator panel allows users to convert verbal or text input into real time Unity scene creation using our extensive repository of models and auto-rigging functionality.

AI Creator comes installed in our latest Anything World SDK package, see our Unity Quickstart guide to setup our Anything World SDK before using the AI Creator.

After completing the Unity Quickstart guide, simply open the Anything World menu from the top tool bar and select the AI Creator option to access the AI Creator panel.

Getting Start with AI Creator

Our AI Creator panel provides two methods for users to give input

• The microphone button activates the recording feature which converts verbal commands to text for ease of access in adding, removing, and moving models in the active scene during editor mode or at runtime.

• The text field provides the same functionality in enabling users to give written commands to add, remove, or move models from our extensive model database.

Valid Commands:

Currently our AI Creator supports commands that will enable users to:

• Add one or several models to the active scene

• Move one model to a specified location

• Remove one or several models from the active scene

Examples:

Add commands:

• Create one cat

• Add five chickens

Move commands:

• Move one chicken here

• Move the cat to the left of the chicken

Remove commands:

• Remove the cat

• Delete five chickens

Valid Modifiers:

Quantity Modifier:

• Add five gorillas

• Remove three cats

Relative Location Modifier:

• Add one car here

• Move one gorilla above the car

• Create one cat to the right of the car

• Add one human to the left of the car

• Create a snake below the car

Multiple actions can be requested in a single command

Example:

• Add one cat and one human

• Add a bumblebee and move the cat here

• Remove the human and move the bumblebee above the cat

AI Creator Panel

The AI Creator panel features several buttons to make the creation process more streamlined.

Microphone Input:

The Microphone button enables the recording functionality which allows users to convert verbal commands to real-time scene creation and manipulation using our extensive 3D model database within a Unity scene. Select the microphone button once to enable the recording session and select the same button again to submit the verbal request.

Text Input and Submission:

The Text box provides an alternative method of providing input to our AI Creator for creation and manipulation our repository of 3D assets. To use the text box, type the request and select the submit button.

The Results dropdown will display the input received and provide a list of actions that AI Creator will take to fulfill the desired request. Selecting the dropdown will display additional information regarding the action, the type of model, and the quantity of the models requested.

Once the request has been processed, the Make button will appear to the right of the requested model allowing the user to add one model at a time.

Make All Button and Auto Option:

When users provide multiple commands, they may select the Make All button to add, remove, or change the position of the desired model within the scene. Additionally, the Auto checkbox will automatically create, manipulate, or delete the models of the scene without requiring the user to verify the list of commands.

Grid Options:

Selecting the Gird Options button will open a secondary panel containing the same grid settings found in the Transform Settling panel. The Grid options can be used to specify the spacing between models inserted via the AI Creator. Make sure to select the Apply button to ensure the settings were saved before proceeding in adding more assets to your scene.

Requirements:

• Unreal Engine 5.0, 5.1, 5.2 or 5.3

• Unreal C++ Project

• Visual Studio 2019 (for 5.0 to 5.2)

• Visual Studio 2022 (for 5.3)

• Anything World Account Details

• Anything World SDK

• Windows

Setting Up your project

To use pak files in your project, you need to enable/disable a few options to set everything up properly. A part of pak file, Unreal provides other ways to load cooked content into your project a part of paks, but those ways aren’t compatible with others.

Firstly, you need to enable the option to use paks and disable the other container options (Io store and Zen Store). This option will enable the processing of the paks in your packaged project. The other important option is Generate Chunks. This option will enable the pool to load multiple paks based on the chunk id.

It's important to disable these two options to load Anything World Paks in your project. The first option will specify that all the paks will contain C++ cooked assets inside. If you enable this option, the project will skip all the C++ assets and only load blueprint ones. The second one is the Editor only option. Disabling this one will enable all the primary asset labels to be used in a packaged project.

To load materials from paks you need to change the Default Skin Cache Behavior from Inclusive to Exclusive. This option will enable the usage of external materials. A part of that you need higher Maximum memory for Compute Skin Cache per world into 1500.

You need to enable Support 16-bit Bone Index and Use Unlimited Bone influences to load all the animated models in your project.

All the textures that are cooked outside the main project are treated as virtual textures. To load all the textures from pak files, you need to enable this option.If you use pak chunk strategy in your project, we highly recommend not surpassing 99 in your chunk IDs. Anything world model chunk ids goes from 100 and further.

Anything World Pak utilities

Anything world plugin comes with a couple of C++ functions that the user can call on his project to request models from the API in his packaged project. All those methods are inside a UObject named PakLoader that provides the minimum functionalities to load pak files.

class UPakLoader

    Exposed Blueprint functions:
    
    * Sets the API key of the user to download models
    * @param InApiKey - API key of the user
    void SetApiKey(const FString& InApiKey);
    
    * Downloads an specific model Entry
    * @param Name - Model name
    void DownloadModelEntry(const FString& Name);
    
    * Loads an specific model Entry from Paks folder
    * @param Name - Model name
    void LoadModelEntry(const FString& Name);
    

To use these functionalities, you only need to instantiate one PakLoader, Set your API key using SetApiKey() method and download the model using the DownloadModelEntry() method.

Pak Tester

Inside the plugin, you will find a user widget named PakTester. This widget provides a simple interface to download models using PakLoader.

To use it, you need to modify it by adding your API Key inside. At the begging of the execution, the widget will create a new PakLoader and set your API Key. The UI adds two buttons, one to download models from the API and the other to load paks from the paks folder.

Warning: Remember to add one Nav Mesh Bounds Volume inside your map, or the models will not be able to navigate around.

Requirements:

• Unreal Engine 5.0, 5.1, or 5.2

• Unreal C++ Project

• Visual Studio 2019

• Anything World Account Details

• Anything World SDK

• Optional: Microphone

Setting Up AI Creator

The AI Creator panel allows users to issue verbal or text commands to access our extensive repository of static and animated models.

This tool comes with the Anything World SDK, see out guide to setup it up and start using the AI Creator tool.

After setting up the Anything World SDK you can access the AI Creator tool through the Anything World menu from the top tool bar and select the AI Creator option.

Getting started with AI Creator

The AI Creator tool provides two methods for users to give commands.

• The microphone button activates the recording feature, which allows you to use your microphone to input verbal commands. This enables you to easily add, move or remove models in the scene in editor mode.

• The text field provides the same functionality but using a text input instead. The same commands are available as in the verbal commands.

Valid Commands:

Currently our AI Creator supports commands that enable users to:

• Add one or several models to the active scene.

• Move one or more models to a specified location.

• Remove one or more models from the scene.

Examples:

Add commands:

• Create a cat

• Add five chickens

Move commands:

• Move one chicken here

• Move the cat to the left of the chicken

Remove commands:

• Remove the cat

• Delete five chickens

Valid Modifiers:

Quantity modifier:

• Add five gorillas

• Remove three cats

Relative Location Modifier:

• Add one car near

• Move one gorilla above the car

• Create one cat to the right of the car

• Add one human to the left of the car

• Create a boar below the car

Multiple actions can be requested can be requested in a single command. Example:

• Add one cat and one human.

• Add a bumblebee and move the cat here.

• Remove the human and move the bumblebee above the cat.

AI Creator Panel

The AI Creator panel contains several buttons to make the creation process more streamlined.

Microphone Input:

The microphone button enables the recording functionality which allows users to convert verbal commands to real-time scene creation and manipulation using our 3D models within a Unreal Engine scene. Select the microphone button to start the recording session and select the same button again to submit the verbal request.

Text Input and Submission:

The text box provides an alternative method to input commands to create and manipulate 3D assets from our repository. Simply type the command in the text box and press enter or the button below.

The results box in the middle of the AI Creator panel will display the input received as a list of buttons that can be pressed to execute the action.

Once an action button has been pressed, a tick icon appears beside the command text within the button.

Execute all actions and Auto Create Option:

When a user provides a command with either verbal or text input, one or more can be pressed to execute the input commands. In addition, a new option Auto Create has been introduced in the Settings panel.

When this option is enabled, all actions are executed automatically without needing further input from the user and the tick icons will appear on the buttons. The Execute all actions button is another method to execute all actions with a single click, useful when multiple actions have been introduced in the same command.

Animate Anything is our tool to bring your static 3D models to life. With our AI-based approach we can automate the rigging and animation steps of a humanoid, an animal and many other types of models. You may find the complete tool in our website . In addition, we have integrated it with our plugin for Unreal Engine (with a reduced set of options) so that any mesh in your project can be easily submited for processing and get back the processed model ready to use for your game.

Getting started with Animate Anything

After setting up the Anything world SDK, you can access the Animate Anything tool through the Anthing World menu from the top tool bar and select the Animate Anything option.

This brings up the Animate Anything interface as shown below. We'll cover every section in the interface to explain how you can get your models animated in minutes.

Model Name

Here you are requested to input the name of the model. This name will be used to identify your model and it will be shown in My World panel, under the User Processed tab.

Model Type

Here you can input the type of model you are submitting, human, cat, car are some of the accepted options. You can get more information about this by clicking on the question icon to the left of the title and the model processing contraints, above the Upload button.

Mesh

Here you can select the model you wish to animate. Notice that Unreal will allow you to select any asset but only Static Meshes and Skeletal Meshes will be accepted as valid assets.

Model Author

Here you can input the model's author name or check the checkbox if you are the author. This is a required information, the Upload button will be disabled unless you enter an author name or check the checkbox.

License

Here you can select the license for your model. Only one of the two options can be selected at the same time.

Upload Button

Above the upload button you will find 3 checkboxes that enable or disable different aspects of the Animate Anything process. The first checkbox will grant us permission to use this model for training and/or testing our processing systems, and related usages. The second checkbox is mandatory to check before the Upload button becomes enabled. The last checkbox will add a default behaviour to your model upon importing to the Unreal Engine project if you tick it.

Once the button is pressed, the model will be submitted to our servers and will start processing to get it animated. Note that processed models will appear in My World panel, under the User Processed tab.

Processing the model

Once the model has been submitted, a notification will pop up in the editor indicating that the model is being processed. Multiple models can be processed at the same time, each with its corresponding notification. The notification will remain until the model has finished processing or the system encounters an error. When successfully processed, a new browser window will appear with the processed model elements (Blueprint, meshes, textures, etc.).

Texture support

In order to support textures in your models, we require an additional plugin to be enabled in your project, the GLTF Exporter plugin.

Changelog

[1.1.0.2] - 2024-04-17

Updates

• Behaviour Tree Editor: Added a visual node-based behaviour tree editor for no code creation of AI systems for various agents. In this initial release we focused on movement and obstacle avoidance but custom behaviour nodes can be created and we will add a lot of new ones in upcoming releases. If you are unfamiliar with the behaviour tree concept, we've added a explaining it in our Unity documentation.

• Path creation tool: Added a spline creation and editing tool. It can be used to create a movement trajectory for NPCs. We've created a behaviour tree asset that allows you to move your characters along the spline without writing any code. Read more about it . If you know a bit of coding, it can also be extended for more advanced tasks like creating a road by generating meshes along the spline.

• NavMesh based movement: Added an option to use NavMesh for imported character movement. If enabled, ground animals and humans will use a new NavMesh default behaviour. A NavMeshAgent component tailored for an imported model is generated automatically, as well as NavMeshSurface if it's not present in the current scene.

Fixes

• Various model serialization issues.

• Click to place mode not working in the My Lists section.

• Models imported from the landing page no longer consume API calls.

Upgrading to Version 1.1.0.1

If you are upgrading to Anything World for Unity v1.1.0.1, some files have been reorganized, renamed, or deleted. As such, some files when imported might not be where they should be. This can be remedied by you deleting certain files and folders from the package, which are outlined below.

Note: Best practice when deleting these files and folders is to do so prior to importing a package! This might produce some errors, but these errors should all be remedied on import.

Make sure to delete these files!

• AnythingWorld/AnythingEditor/Editor/TransformSettings.cs

• AnythingWorld/AnythingEditor/Editor/GridSettingsEditor.cs

• AnythingWorld/Resources/Settings/DefaultBehaviours.asset

Make sure to delete these folders!

• AnythingWorld/AnythingUtilities/AnythingUtilities.Editor/VersionChecker

• AnythingWorld/AnythingEditor/Editor/Resources

• AnythingWorld/AnythingAnimation

Another solution to ensure a clean slate would be to delete the full package and to reimport the new version. Although this brings forth the version that we tested here at Anything World, this does mean that your settings would be deleted, and that on import would need to log into your account again.

This release brings in a ton of new features such as support for model serialization, extending our material loader to support more complex runtime material loading and as always performance and stability improvements across the board.
