Creating 3D assets is essential for game development. Modeling requires time and technical skills, and fast prototyping is challenging, especially for novice designers. To make complex 3D modeling more accessible while strengthening creativity, we present CreatureCreator, a tool that enables users to generate 3D models from an image of a created artifact. We investigated two input modalities: drawing with pen and paper and sculpting with clay. Adding an analog input modality to the generation process could lower the entry barrier for diverse user groups, enabling intuitive and creative modeling. In a within-subject study with game design-experienced participants (n=20), both modalities scored highly for user experience, engagement, and creativity support, with the clay input especially valued for its generated models and enhanced sense of control. The interaction workflow supports playful exploration by allowing users to experiment with parameters and using AI as a production and/or ideation partner.
The co-creativity community is forging ahead with building more sophisticated and tailored systems to support and enhance human creativity. Design considerations or learnings from previous work can be an important and efficient starting point for this. To assist with that, we created a systematic literature review of 6...

Generative artificial intelligence (Gen AI) and virtual reality (VR) bring new possibilities to design classrooms. However, whether such possibilities yield positive impacts depends on how and when the two technologies are integrated to design pedagogies. Unfortunately, existing literature lacks a clear roadmap and...

Recent developments in generative AI have lowered barriers to image generation, but existing tools mostly optimize for efficiency, producing generic results and offering little support for artistic growth. We present Artly, an AI system that combines personalizable AI feedback with human-authored learning resources. In...
