What is tabletop

tabletop is the AI studio for game makers. You use it to make game assets: characters, props, sprites, textures and animations.

How it works

You build a workflow on a canvas. A workflow is a set of nodes with links between them.

Each node does one task, such as “make an image from a prompt” or “make a 3D model from an image”.
A link sends the result of one node to the next node.
When you select nodes and click Run, the selected nodes run in order. You see each result on its node.

For example, this workflow makes an animated character:

Step	Node	Result
1	Generate Image	A concept image of the character
2	Generate Model	A 3D model from the image
3	Texture Model	The model with painted textures
4	Rig Model	The model with a skeleton
5	Retarget Animation	The model with an animation

A workflow on the canvas: five linked nodes from a concept image to an animated model
