Zibra AI

Many of our beta testers have been asking: when will ZibraGDS be officially available? The wait will be over soon! The first commercial release of ZibraGDS is arriving in just 2 weeks on July 7, 2026! 😊👀

We are also extremely happy that ZibraGDS has been selected for a live demo on the big stage at the prestigious ACM SIGGRAPH 2026 Real-Time Live! event. This year, we are one of the only 8 selections from a large number of applicants. Looking forward to seeing you there at SIGGRAPH next month! 🔭

The abstract of our SIGGRAPH submission is available now in ACM Digital Library. You can find the link below. ⬇️

A sincere THANK YOU to everyone who joined us for ZibraGDS Open Beta!! 💖 We were thrilled by how many people signed up! Please, if you have a few minutes, it'll be extremely helpful if you could leave a comment or visit the link below to share with us your thoughts after trying out the tool, so we can make it better for you and everyone else. 🙏

During the Beta, the team has already implemented a lot of fixes and improvements based on the our community's feedback. Notably, these include path tracing support, streaming from RAM/disk, additional UV channels, lighting channels support, translucency sorting parameters, a lot of stability improvements, and more...

How long does it take to move large alembics from DCC to engine using ZibraGDS?

It scales with your asset, but is definitely much faster than Geometry Cache, and 20–30x faster than VAT. Here, we exported, compressed, and imported a 2.7GB alembic sequence in 48 seconds.

New ZibraVDB for UE v1.5.3 update!

The update brings two big visual improvements frequently requested by our community:

— Fully reworked ambient lighting. Previous method was free but was not precise enough. New ambient lighting brings high-fidelity visuals in shadowed areas without sacrificing performance.

— Full support for rectangular lights. ZibraVDB volumes finally support all UE’s light types.

ZibraVDB for UE v1.5.3. is available at Fab.com: lnkd.in/dnvkxBys

🚀 In episode #69 of The VFX Process Arthur Baum takes us behind the scenes of Tuk Tuk Tango, the cinematic winner of the Kitbash3D Secrets of the Luminara challenge.

He breaks down the full Unreal Engine pipeline, shares insights from the project, and gives ZibraVDB a shoutout — which we’re incredibly proud to hear.

Huge thanks to Arthur for the kind words and for pushing the boundaries of real-time storytelling. Always exciting to see ZibraVDB helping creators bring their visions to life.
