Epic Games has acquired Loci, a company specializing in AI-powered 3D asset tagging, for an undisclosed amount. Loci’s technology, trained on over 1 million 3D assets, uses AI to label, categorize, recommend, and optimize 3D assets at scale. This acquisition aims to enhance the discoverability and management of 3D content across Epic’s ecosystem. Loci’s technology will be integrated into Fab to improve sharing and into Unreal Editor for Fortnite (UEFN) to automatically index custom assets. Additionally, Loci’s 3D similarity detection will bolster Epic’s IP protection and moderation capabilities. This move is set to automate artist workflows and support creators within Epic’s robust 3D asset ecosystem.
