Insights into the Journey of Zibra AI

My journey in the tech and gaming world started after graduating from the National Aviation University in Kyiv. I gained valuable experience in senior business development roles at CoWorking Platforma and Talkable, working with companies like General Assembly and influencers like Steve Wozniak. As a passionate gamer and technology enthusiast, I was inspired to create Zibra AI to help game developers create exceptional gaming experiences.

The Creation and Principles of Zibra AI

Zibra AI was sparked by the desire to simplify game development using AI. Our core founding principles revolve around leveraging Generative AI to enhance the creation of 3D assets and VFX, empowering game developers and artists to bring their visions to life.

Democratizing Creativity with Zibra AI

Zibra AI aims to make Generative AI accessible and user-friendly for game developers and Visual Effects artists of all skill levels. Our platform offers intuitive tools and a seamless user experience, allowing creators to easily utilize AI-generated 3D assets and VFX.

Zibra AI’s Impact on 3D Content Generation

Zibra AI has surpassed 100,000 users, with positive feedback from our growing community. Our platform enables game developers, including indie developers, to swiftly create high-quality VFX without prior expertise. Our mission is to give game developers unprecedented freedom to experiment and customize their games.

The Future of Generative AI and Zibra AI’s Role

Generative AI has immense potential in shaping the future of visual effects and media production. Zibra AI aims to be at the forefront of this transformation by empowering artists and developers with efficient AI-powered solutions.
