Godot's store and a big week for AI audio

Two AI audio releases worth your attention, a real jump for an AI mesh generator, and Godot finally getting a proper storefront.

Two AI audio releases worth your attention, a meaningful jump for an AI mesh generator, and Godot finally getting a real storefront.

ElevenLabs ships Music v2 and Dubbing v2

ElevenLabs had a strong week on the audio side. Music v2 brings section-by-section song generation with inpainting, so you can regenerate just the chorus instead of rolling the dice on a whole track. Dubbing v2 produces dubs that keep the original actor's performance across more than 90 languages, which matters if you are localizing a narrative game without re-recording everyone.

Also this week

Rodin Gen-2.5

Rodin's latest generation adds sculpt-level detail, PBR texturing, and a Smart Low-Poly mode aimed squarely at getting assets into engines.

The Godot Asset Store

Godot launched a from-scratch marketplace built on its shared account system, giving the engine a proper place to buy and sell assets and plugins.

Short and loud this week.
