Ukrainian deep-tech company Zibra AI took the stage at the SIGGRAPH international computer graphics conference in Los Angeles for the second time. The developers presented ZibraGDS technology, which allows you to compress, stream, and render complex animated geometry in real time.
This is stated in the company's press release provided to dev.ua. This year, the organizers of SIGGRAPH selected only 8 projects from hundreds of submitted applications to be demonstrated on stage.
ZibraGDS (Geometry Data Structure) is designed to process animated mesh sequences - destruction, water simulations, particles and motion graphics, which previously required long offline rendering. The technology uses a GPU-oriented system: the geometry is automatically divided into meshlet fragments, and decompression occurs directly on the video card through amplification and mesh shaders.
The solution allows you to reduce the volume of animated data by up to 92% and speed up rendering by 5–10 times compared to traditional approaches, working with millions of polygons per frame over thousands of frames.
“ZibraGDS solves a problem our team has faced on almost every project. Animated geometry has almost always meant offline rendering and hours of waiting. Now these scenes can run directly inside the engine in real time. This changes not only the speed of work, but also the very approach of studios to content production,” said Zibra AI CEO Alex Petrenko.
The first commercial release of ZibraGDS took place on July 7, 2026, after several months of closed beta testing. Before the launch, the tool was tested by technology giants and studios, including NVIDIA and Sony, and its technical description was published in the scientific library ACM Digital Library.
This is Zibra AI's second appearance at SIGGRAPH. In 2024, the company presented ZibraVDB, a solution designed to work with three-dimensional cinematic effects (smoke, fire, and liquids) in Unreal Engine.
