Layer AI

AI Model highlight: Wan 2.1 🕹️ You’ve probably seen the Wan 2.1 (Alibaba Group) model hype, but did you know it’s been on Layer since day 1 of release? In this example we used FLUX to create reference images for scenes, generated clips using Wan 2.1, and then edited them together into a short sci-fi themed reel. One great thing with Wan is that it’s easy to quickly create a bunch of iterations while keeping things consistent with Image to Video generation + prompting to guide the video. We’re seeing great results in terms of quality, consistency between scenes, and overall generation speed - compared to other popular models. With video becoming more reliable and quality-consistent, we see huge potential for game teams to start creating everything from UA assets to short in-game scenes. But hey, why not give it a try yourself? https://app.layer.ai/ #gamedev #genai #layerai #wan #alibaba #wanmodel #aimodel #video #aivideo #gamedevelopment #ai #gamestudios #mobilegames

Live Play Mobile Inc. is redefining interactive mobile gaming - so when they needed to scale content production for their flagship game Live Play Bingo, they turned to Layer. With new themed collectible sets dropping every few days, keeping up with player demand was a challenge. By training custom AI models for characters, poses, and backgrounds, they built a pipeline that let Layer handle the bulk of the work - letting their team focus on polish and final refinements. 💡 The impact? A 300% boost in productivity, reducing production time per collection from 4 days to just 1, all while keeping new assets on-brand.

AI Model highlight: Veo 2 x Cats & Soup 📽️🐱 A fun Friday post inspired by the popular idle game from Hidea, we used the Veo 2 model (Google) to generate + edit together a quick video scene. Original images were created using FLUX, used to prompt clips in Veo 2, and then edited together with simple transitions. It’s a fun example, but illustrates how you can quite easily create short videos for usecases like in-game scenes, ads/social content, and app store trailers. With video production typically being super expensive and time consuming, we’re excited to see more options open up for game studios of all sizes - accessibility for indies, and scale for established teams. With Layer you can pick and choose whatever model works best for your project, or switch between them as needed. With new models coming out almost every few weeks at this point, flexibility is key. Veo 2 for example is great for creating longer videos with accurate camera angle and cinematic “controls”. Give it a try yourself and bring some cartoon cats to life 🐈 #gamedev #aivideo #veo2 #flux #layerai #genai #gamedevelopment #mobilegames #mobile
