THE BIG ONE
NVIDIA has just unveiled SpatialClaw, a revolutionary training-free agent that treats code as the action interface for spatial reasoning. This means you can now create complex 3D interactions without the usual overhead of traditional training methods. For CG artists and developers, this could drastically streamline workflows in tools like Unreal Engine and Blender, allowing for more dynamic environments and interactions without the typical latency. If you’re working on projects that require intricate spatial reasoning, keep an eye on this one—it could be a game-changer. Read more here.
