LogInSeamlessly compress OpenVDB effects by up to 100 times and render them in real-time.
Traditional approaches to real-time rendering of volumetric effects are challenging for virtual production due to their massive data requirements and long rendering times, limiting them to non-real-time software.
Ukrainian company Zibra AI has unveiled ZibraVDB, their newest solution for Unreal Engine and Houdini, designed to streamline real-time volumetric VFX creation and provide full control over OpenVDB sequences.
Typically, compression tends to degrade the quality of effects, requiring a compromise between quality and file size. ZibraVDB addresses this issue by delivering a high level of compression with minimal visual degradation. This enables the use of large OpenVDB effects in real-time, significantly saving resources and reducing processing time.
Check out this demo where Zibra AI utilized EmberGen to create VDB effects, compressed them into the efficient ZibraVDB format, and seamlessly integrated into Unreal Engine to finalize the scene:
Suitable for small studios and big companies, ZibraVDB allows you to render volumetric VFX in OpenVDB format directly into Unreal Engine and use hyper-realistic VDB effects in real-time, art direct VFX with realistic illumination, shadows, colors, and reflections, and achieve real-time performance even with the largest VDB files, running twice as fast as Unreal SVT render.
