Sora

I couldn’t have created the visuals for TopGM without Sora. As someone who’s not a designer, generating high-quality in-game images would have been impossible. Sora made it fast and easy to bring the game world to life, giving it a professional look that I couldn’t have achieved on my own.

Many of the visuals across the site and background videos were made using Sora. This was a very robust and efficient tool to create otherworldly visuals to help bring out the design on the site in ways that wouldn't be possible otherwise.

Sora 2 pushes beyond Sora 1’s early “it works” phase to a GPT‑3.5‑like leap in capability. It models the physical world far more faithfully—objects don’t morph to satisfy prompts, missed shots rebound, and complex dynamics like buoyancy and rigidity hold up in scenes such as paddleboard backflips or Olympic‑level routines. It’s also markedly more controllable, following intricate, multi‑shot instructions while preserving world state across cuts, and it excels in realistic, cinematic, and anime styles.
