Virtual property platform Upland has announced a 70% acceleration in its 3D asset production. Thus, marking a substantial stride in its collaboration with AI startup Kaedim. The partnership, initiated earlier this year, focuses on leveraging Kaedim's AI platform. The AI platform specializes in transforming images into digital 3D models using Machine Learning.

Upland and Kaedim's have a good history of collaborative efforts. They transitioned two original IP campaigns from conception to production.  This was within a span of two weeks and they covered aspects like Map Assets, Structure Ornaments, Go Karts, and Wearables. The collaboration aims to redefine the 3D production pipeline. Thus, enabling creatives to develop User-Generated Content (UGC) with greater efficiency.

By integrating Kaedim's asset generation technology, Upland has reportedly optimized its workflows. With this, it is pushing the boundaries of efficiency and redefining the production pipeline. With over 3 million registered players and 4 million virtual assets sold to date, Upland is a leading virtual property platform.

Impact of Kaedim on Upland's Efficiency 

The incorporation has resulted in a remarkable 7x acceleration in production and a 72% reduction in production time. This advancement holds the potential to enhance the gaming experience for Upland users.

Kaedim's image-to-mesh technology is designed to save users significant production time. This is particularly for creating simple objects. It can potentially reduce days of manual sculpting for complex objects such as wearables or characters. The streamlined asset production process has enabled Upland to provide frequent updates. 

Upland users stand to benefit from this partnership in various ways. This includes time-saving advantages and increased flexibility in customizing virtual experiences. There is also a richer array of new assets for higher personalization of in-game spaces and avatars.

The collaboration extends beyond the provision of technology. This is as Kaedim is involved in creating specific add-on features tailored to Upland's requirements. The process has opened up new possibilities for Upland's user base to explore innovative ideas. Thus, aligning with the platform's emphasis on user-made experiences.
