NVIDIA researchers took the stage at SIGGRAPH Asia Real-Time Live event in Sydney to showcase generative AI integrated into an interactive texture painting. Rather than generating complete results with only high-level user guidance, this prototype shows how AI can function as a brush in the hands of an artist.

Hence, themed victory conditions were out for Old World , but we needed something in place, especially since we were playing MP within a few months of early prototyping. Of course, one might ask, wouldn’t the player lose if the AI fulfills their ten ambitions first? Then make sure to always choose the religious option!
