VAST open-sources EdenLive real-time generative rendering renderer
General artificial intelligence company VAST open-sourced EdenLive, a real-time generative rendering renderer designed to process proxy inputs, reference videos, and text prompts into 720P visual content at frame rates exceeding 24 FPS on a single Nvidia RTX 5090 graphics card.
Real-Time Generation Meets Existing Game Engines
The release follows the viral success of an independent 3D adaptation of Antoine de Saint-Exupéry’s classic book The Little Prince on X. Independent developer Sac built the playable 3D world in 16 days by combining the Opus 5.5 coding assistant, Blender, and Tripo, a 3D generative model developed by VAST.

Capitalizing on that momentum, VAST introduced EdenLive to bridge the gap between offline video generation and interactive loops. While traditional video models require extended calculation times before rendering results, EdenLive accepts changing reference frames and text prompts to output continuous video streams within hundreds of milliseconds of end-to-end latency.
EdenLive Separates World States from Visual Rendering
EdenLive separates interactive world states from visual rendering. Upper-level game logic and physics engines handle collision detection, character positions, and rules, while the 5B parameter model focuses strictly on visual styling and texture generation.
The system relies on three inputs: proxy video streams or simplified 3D structures, a target first frame to define overall aesthetics, and text prompts to guide stylistic details. This proxy-to-fine framework allows creators to test multiple visual styles—such as Vincent van Gogh’s Starry Night aesthetic, anime translations, or photorealistic environments—without rebuilding underlying assets.
The open-source package includes model weights, inference code, technical reports, and an experimental skill titled Game Prototype Turbo. This tool enables users to generate playable proxy games that feed status data directly into EdenLive for real-time visual rendering.
Could a video model work as the renderer for a game? VAST has open-sourced EdenLive, and it's an interesting step in that direction.A regular program or game engine runs the rules, the movement and the world state, and outputs a rough reference video. EdenLive then renders that…
Current Limitations and Future Development
Despite maintaining minute-long generation continuity and offering 480P and 720P outputs, the technology faces technical hurdles. According to the technical disclosures from VAST, the model encounters stability issues when rendering small objects, dense multi-character interactions, and maintaining long-term visual consistency when subjects re-enter the field of view.
The development team plans to focus subsequent engineering updates on reducing latency, improving reference adherence, and expanding multi-user shared world capabilities. Alongside the software release, VAST launched the V-STAR talent initiative to recruit researchers specializing in 3D generation, spatial understanding, and world models.
