Cybever announced the upcoming beta launch of its AI-based 3D world creation platform, set for the end of the month. The platform, designed to streamline and democratize 3D content development, has already attracted interest from creative studios and 3D asset marketplaces.
Cybever’s AI-Driven Platform for 3D Creation
Cybever’s platform aims to simplify 3D content creation for creators and developers across various industries. It focuses on three key strengths: asset retrieval, placement, and content generation. Cecilia Shen, CEO of Cybever, shared the company’s vision of building a powerful ecosystem that supports artists in producing high-quality content more efficiently. The platform enables the retrieval of relevant assets, accurate placement within 3D environments, and the eventual generation of new content with compatibility considerations for the Unreal Engine 5 and soon the NVIDIA Omniverse ecosystem.
Focus on Prototyping and Pre-Production Efficiency
One of Cybever’s primary goals is to streamline the prototyping and pre-production phases of game development, which are traditionally labor-intensive. Through AI-powered tools, the platform allows creators to iterate faster and experiment more freely, reducing the time spent on early-stage development. This enhanced workflow could lead to quicker and more innovative project completions.
Key Features and AI Capabilities
The Cybever platform is cloud-based, allowing users to work from any location without relying on local hardware. It employs AI to generate layouts, maps, and terrains from sketches and text descriptions. The platform can automatically place elements like towns and forests, retrieve assets from marketplaces, and integrate them into 3D scenes.
Some key features of the beta include:
- Sketch-to-3D preview
- Advanced scene generation
- Asset diversity
- Weather effects and terrain editing
- Enhanced user experience tools
These tools provide 3D professionals with more control, creativity, and efficiency in their workflows.
Ethical AI Practices and Partnerships
Cybever emphasizes ethical AI practices, ensuring that all 3D assets used in content creation are licensed. The platform collaborates with asset marketplaces to verify that creators have the necessary rights to use the assets. Additionally, Cybever offers options for resolving licensing issues through its integrated marketplaces. Artists whose data is used will receive a share of the revenue, reinforcing the company’s dedication to fair practices.
Cybever’s platform has already garnered interest from notable studios like Technicolor Group and Room 8 Group. Leading 3D asset marketplaces, including TurboSquid and Daz 3D, are also collaborating with Cybever to offer licensed assets. Since its alpha testing in July, Cybever has seen a 400% business growth, demonstrating the platform’s potential across creative industries.
Supporting Creators Across Industries
Cybever’s vision is to democratize 3D content creation across multiple creative industries, including gaming, TV, film, and user-generated content. The platform is designed to empower creators at all levels, from seasoned professionals to beginners, by offering advanced AI capabilities and seamless asset management. By simplifying complex workflows, Cybever helps creators bring their ideas to life more efficiently.
Addressing Industry Skepticism
Despite some skepticism regarding the viability of AI-driven 3D game creation, Cybever maintains a creator-first approach. According to CTO Jie Yang, the platform is designed to simplify 3D creation for game developers by automating tasks like terrain generation, layout design, and asset placement. Yang emphasized that Cybever’s solution integrates with popular engines like Unreal and Unity, offering more flexibility and control than competitors.
Cybever’s founders share a deep passion for storytelling. CEO Cecilia Shen’s journey into 3D procedural generation began at Google X, where she worked on simulating and visualizing objects. This experience fueled her dedication to the field, and she later teamed up with Yang, who was her colleague and manager at Google X.
With a team of over 25 members, Cybever continues to push the boundaries of 3D content creation, helping artists and creators across industries realize their visions more easily and efficiently.
