GPT-6 Astra modeled this from scratch in Blender. Just imagine what GTA 7 will look like.

GPT-6 made this iconic SF landmark from scratch in Blender. Turning real world 3d scans with messy topology into procedural 3d scenes (modeled like a human artist would have) has been a tall order. But Astra seems to have cracked it. MSFT flight sim does a basic version of this using 2d satellite imagery and a building grammar system - but it only looks decent from the air, and quickly falls apart when you get to the ground. If this technique scales, you could get GTA level 3d detail at street level for the whole world. Just give coarse 3d scans and ground level photos as reference. The implications are nuts for everything from gaming to defense. Video by Sharif Shameem at OpenAI.
