Tencent's recent launch of the Hongyuan 3D World Model 1.0 marks the industry's first open-source immersive interactive world generation model, promising to bring disruptive changes to game development, virtual reality, and digital content creation. Users can now effortlessly create a 360-degree immersive virtual world in just a few minutes with a simple sentence or image—something that previously required weeks of work from a professional modeling team is now easily achievable.
The innovation of the Hunyuan 3D World Model 1.0 lies in its Hierarchical Semantic Representation and Generation Algorithms for 3D Scenes. This algorithm effectively decomposes complex 3D worlds into layers, achieving intelligent separation of the foreground and background, as well as the ground and sky. Not only does it generate an overall scene with stunning visual effects, but it also produces standardized 3D Mesh assets.
This model combines panoramic visual generation technology with layered 3D reconstruction techniques, supporting input through text and images, ensuring that the generated 3D scenes are not only high-quality but also feature diverse styles. The resulting mesh files are compatible with major tools like Unity, Unreal Engine, and Blender, allowing users to independently edit or perform physical simulations, seamlessly bridging AIGC technology with traditional CG workflows.
For game developers, the Mixed Yuan 3D world model significantly simplifies the entire process of constructing 3D scenes. Developers merely need to input simple commands, and the model can quickly generate a complete 3D scene that includes architecture, terrain, and vegetation. The generated mesh files can be used for game prototyping or level design, and users can flexibly adjust foreground objects or swap out sky backgrounds, fully catering to the need for personalized creativity.
Even users without any modeling experience can quickly create a 360-degree immersive visual space with just a sentence or an image using the Hongyuan 3D creation engine. These generated scenes can be seamlessly imported into virtual headsets like Vision Pro, providing a fully immersive experience.
In a comparison with the world’s leading open-source models, the Hongyuan 3D World Model 1.0 surpasses current cutting-edge open-source technology across key metrics such as aesthetic quality in generating images from text and in generating images from images, as well as its command adherence capabilities. The release of this model signifies that Tencent can not only achieve single 3D asset generation in seconds but has also advanced to creating fully navigable 3D worlds with just a click, progressively building a comprehensive ecosystem for 3D content generation.
Currently, Tencent's Hongyuan large model has achieved open source across all modalities, including images, videos, 3D, and text. The number of derivative models for images and videos has reached 1,400 and 1,600 respectively, while the download count for the Hongyuan 3D series models has surpassed 2.3 million, successfully establishing it as one of the most popular 3D open-source models globally.
