In inglese

Sloyd was founded in Oslo, Norway in 2021 by Andreas Edesberg and Avi Latner, who met during an Antler startup residency. The company builds AI-driven 3D asset generation software for game developers, with backing that has included Autodesk as both an investor and a distribution partner. Rather than treating 3D generation as a black-box text-to-mesh problem, Sloyd combines a generative model with a parametric engine: assets are built from adjustable templates whose shape, proportions, and materials can be tuned with sliders or prompts, producing clean topology suited to real-time engines instead of the dense, unoptimized meshes typical of photogrammetry-style generators. The company raised roughly €3 million in seed funding in 2024 from investors including a16z Games Speedrun, Antler, and Skyfall Ventures. With a team of around a dozen people, Sloyd distributes through a web app, a Unity/Unreal plugin, and an API, competing with Meshy, Tripo, and Common Sense Machines in the fast-growing AI-for-game-asset space.
