Abstract

The creation of high-quality 3D scenes is essential for applications like video games and simulations, yet automating this process while retaining the benefits of Procedural Content Generation (PCG) remains challenging. In this paper, we introduce UnrealLLM, a novel multi-agent framework that connects natural language descriptions with the professional PCG system (Unreal Engine 5) to automate scene generation. UnrealLLM constructs a comprehensive knowledge base to translate text into executable PCG blueprints and a diverse asset library that guarantees high-quality scene generation. Additionally, it also introduces a text-based blueprint system with a spline-based control mechanism for geometric arrangement, enabling natural language interaction and enhancing interactivity in 3D environments using UE5’s advanced capabilities. Through extensive experiments, we show that UnrealLLM achieves competitive performance in technical metrics and aesthetic quality, offering unique advantages in generation scale and interactivity. This work makes a valuable contribution to automated 3D content creation, benefiting both novice users and professional designers.
