Tools & Pipeline

• Our mission is to help game studios quickly create game content that meets requirements.
• We focus on supporting the development of open-world games based on UE5.
• Currently, we are working on content generation for game scenes.
  • We have developed DevCopilot tools to help projects quickly generate the required game scene content.
  • We created the DevCopilot platform to host these tools, making it easy for projects to integrate and use them.
  • Using the DevCopilot platform and tools, we offer game scene generation services for projects.
  • We customize the development of necessary DevCopilot tools based on the content the project aims to generate.
• In the past, our name was NextPCG. Any information you see with this name is DevCopilot. DevCopilot means more intelligence and automation.
• In the future, we will expand into content generation for game characters, including animations and NPCs.

DevCopilot Tools

• We have already developed many DevCopilot tools for other projects.

• For example

  • Tools used to generate assets within the scene

    

  • Tool for generating rock assets

    

    The rock assets generated using the DevCopilot tool can also be used to create cliffs with another DevCopilot tool.

    

    Here is the effect display of the generated cliffs in the game scene

    

  • Tool for generating city blocks, which creates more regular block formations

    

    It can also generate more complex, irregular city blocks, using different styles for different projects.

    

  • Tool for generating overpasses

    

    The shape effect of the generated overpass

    

    The visual effect of the generated overpass, including high-precision details

    

  • Tool for generating asset decimation meshes

    

  • Tool for generating asset imposters and billboards

    

  • Tool for generating various textures

    

• We have already developed these game scene content generation tools:

  

  • Some are implemented within Unreal, for example, based on the UE5 PCG framework.
    • This method is very convenient and flexible to use.
    • However, it is not flexible enough for development, making it difficult to quickly develop complex content generation logic.
  • Another part is implemented outside of Unreal, for example, using Houdini and Python libraries.
    • This method can quickly develop complex and powerful procedural generation algorithms.
    • However, it relies on installing external software and deploying external dependency libraries, making the user environment very complex.

DevCopilot Platform

• We use the standardized DevCopilot Platform to carry DevCopilot Tools.

  

  • The role of the DevCopilot Platform is to run these tools through a cloud environment.
  • Developers of DevCopilot Tools, typically programmers and Technical Artists, can freely use Unreal, Houdini, and various Python libraries to quickly create procedural content generation tools, enhancing efficiency.

• For users of DevCopilot Tools, who are generally game artists and planners

  

  • No need to understand the implementation methods of DevCopilot Tools or what DevCopilot Platform is
  • Just need to know which DevCopilot Tools are available and what they can be used for
  • Just install the plugin we provide, and you can use all these tools.
  • Lowers the usage threshold.

• All DevCopilot tools based on the DevCopilot Platform can be directly used as object blueprint nodes. Users can flexibly call them within various UE objects, such as within the Widget object shown here.
