Odyssey: Providing Hollywood-level AI video generation and editing tools

2 min readJul 16, 2024

OdysseyML aims to develop AI technology capable of generating and directing Hollywood-level visual effects. Inspired by early computer graphics research and Pixar stories, the project focuses on generating high-quality, glitch-free visual effects, allowing creators to have full control over their work.

OdysseyML is training four generative models to generate high-quality geometry, realistic materials, stunning lighting effects, and controllable motion, giving you full control over the core layers of your visual storytelling.

Odyssey’s core technical features

Hierarchical Generative Models

High-quality geometry generation : Generate detailed 3D geometry for building realistic scenes and objects.
Realistic Material Generation : Create highly realistic materials to make generated objects look more vivid and natural.
Stunning Lighting Effects : Generate and control lighting effects to enhance the visual impact and atmosphere of your scenes.
Controllable Motion Generation : Create and adjust animation and motion effects to make scenes and characters more dynamic and realistic.

Total creative control

Fine-tuning : Users can adjust and edit every generated element (geometry, material, lighting, motion) in detail.
Scene context awareness : The generated objects are context-aware and can operate independently or in coordination with the overall scene.
Scene prompting and editing : Users can directly prompt the generation of the entire scene and perform further editing and optimization as needed.

Advanced workflow integration

Standardized file formats : Supports export and editing of standard 3D file formats (such as USD), ensuring seamless integration with existing production workflows.
Professional-level version control : Provides a professional version control system that allows creators to continuously iterate and optimize their works.

Efficient generation workflow

Generation and Iteration : Supports the rapid generation of multiple creative solutions and repeated iterations until the perfect effect is achieved.
Powerful workflow tools : Workflow tools designed for professional users provide efficient generation and editing experience.

OdysseyML’s team is composed of AI researchers from major well-known technology companies and Hollywood artists. It has raised $9 million in start-up funds. The researchers come from Cruise, Wayve, Waymo, Tesla, Meta and other companies, and the artist team has participated in works such as “Dune”, “Godzilla”, and “Avengers”.
