The 3D team at Tencent Hunyuan published WorldClaw: an open ended description goes in, and a large 3D world comes out, walkable and editable piece by piece. The paper is out, the code is not.

Two printers with identical hardware can produce visibly different parts, and the difference is usually the software that turns a model into instructions. This one turns tuning into a guided procedure.

A free tool for building and rendering three-dimensional characters. A pre-rigged base figure takes slider adjustments to face, build and age, clothing and hair fit themselves, cloth and hair move under physical simulation, and rendering is ray traced; the result can be handed to other 3D software for further work.

A foundation-run 3D package that is free and open source, with modelling, sculpting, rigging, animation, two renderers, node based procedural tools, cloth and hair simulation, 2D drawing in three dimensional space, and a release supported for two years.
