Meta 3D AssetGen: Generating 3D Worlds With AI
Meta's Tech Podcast covers AssetGen, its foundation model for generating 3D assets from text, and the path toward AI-generated worlds in Horizon Studio. A podcast episode, so light on specifics.
**The gist** A **Meta Tech Podcast** episode features Mahima and Rakesh from Meta's **XR Tech** team discussing **AssetGen**, a foundation model for generating 3D assets from text prompts — the technology behind the AI world-building tools planned for **Horizon Studio**, previewed at Meta Connect.
**Why it matters** **Text-to-3D** moving from research demo into a shipping pipeline matters if you build anything spatial: asset generation is tracking the same trajectory **image generation** took, and a model agents can call turns prompts into usable scene content instead of hand-modeled meshes.
