AI Product Review #011: Kaedim AI

From a 2D to a 3D Immersive World

Kaedim is an innovative AI-powered platform that is revolutionizing the way 3D models are created. Founded in 2020 by Konstantina Psoma while she was finishing her engineering degree at the University of Bristol, Kaedim uses advanced machine learning algorithms to automatically generate detailed, production-ready 3D models from basic 2D images in just minutes[1][3][4].

The process is simple - users upload a photo, sketch, or piece of concept art to Kaedim. The AI then interprets the 2D data to construct a textured, colored 3D model[4]. Kaedim's technology is able to create any imaginable 3D asset, from simple objects to complex designs, in a fraction of the time of traditional modeling tools. No prior 3D modeling experience is needed[4].

What sets Kaedim apart is the quality of its outputs. The generated models are guaranteed to be quad topology, separated into meshes, watertight, and fully optimized for game development and other industries[1][3]. An in-house team of artists reviews each model and refines it to ensure it meets high standards before delivering it to the user, usually within minutes[1][16].

Kaedim also offers a suite of features to further streamline 3D workflows after model generation, including automatic UV unwrapping, levels of detail generation, and texturing[1][2][8]. The platform integrates seamlessly with popular game engines and 3D software like Unity, Unreal Engine, Blender, and Omniverse through dedicated plugins[1][7][13].

The company has seen rapid adoption by over 200 game studios including Aardman Animations, Rebellion, and The Sandbox[4][6]. Kaedim allows these studios to accelerate their 3D pipelines by up to 20x while expanding their capacity to create large volumes of diverse, high-quality 3D content[3][6]. One customer noted "Kaedim saves us 20x over a traditional pipeline... [it] allows us to build a 20x bigger world in 3D."[1]

To date, Kaedim has raised funding from notable investors such as Accel, Nvidia, Epic Games, and the founders of Monzo and Songkick[6]. The company is using the capital to further automate its AI model generation pipeline, expand to new verticals beyond gaming, and gear up for a full product launch after completing beta trials[6].

Pricing details have not been publicly disclosed, but Kaedim does offer custom enterprise plans with advanced security, dedicated support, and tailored features[1]. For individual creators, Kaedim provides a generous free tier to get started with the platform[7].

In summary, Kaedim is an impressive tool that makes high-quality 3D model creation accessible to all through the power of AI. Its speed, ease of use, and compatibility with industry-standard software have made it a go-to solution for leading game studios and Fortune 500 companies looking to scale their 3D pipelines. With a strong team, backing from top investors, and a bold vision to become the foundation for the emerging metaverse, Kaedim is well-positioned to define the future of 3D content creation.
