We shipped our 3D foundation model which takes text prompts as input and generates production ready 3D objects and worlds. We are now building the Roblox Video Model; the Super Upsampler at the heart of Roblox Reality our hybrid architecture that pairs the structured simulation of the Roblox Game Engine and Roblox Cloud with the photorealism of Video World Models. The engine stays the source of truth for the data model: state physics collision logic and multiplayer consistency. The video model generates the pixels: higher fidelity textures realistic lighting secondary motion fluid dynamics and the unscripted detail of a real world. A world model paired with our engine enables persistent multiplayer photorealistic worlds that any creator can build and any player can join.
