Zibra Liquids Pro is the most advanced and powerful solution for real-time 3D liquid simulation designed to simplify VFX creation for all virtual worlds and immersive experiences.

After the release of its first version of Zibra Liquids in 2021, the company continued to evolve the product, adding new features, platform support and porting it to the Unreal Engine. ZibraAI has now further elevated and expanded the potential of the solution, releasing the most capable version to date. Zibra Liquids Pro is a part of Zibra Effects, which is ZibraAI’s multipurpose no-code toolset designed to make virtual worlds more immersive by leveraging real-time simulation and realistic physics.

Zibra Liquids Pro is an out-of-the-box tool for every content creator, made easy even for beginners. Users are able to create realistic liquid physics for any type of project, from game development to VR/AR/XR and even industrial applications.

Zibra Liquids Pro uses a neural network to represent the object’s shape in the form of compact SDF (Signed Distance Field), making it possible to create performant colliders for objects of arbitrary shape, and set up liquid interaction with complex 3D objects in just a few clicks.

Its key benefits for users include

Ease of creating CG-level visual effects

The tool revolutionizes working with visual effects, eliminating the need to bake them into a game. Now, users can add interactive, dynamic, true real-time 3D liquid to their project with just a few clicks. This makes for the extremely simple creation of realistic environments and interactive experiences based on liquid physics.

Increased time and cost efficiency

Zibra Liquids Pro simplifies VFX creation with a no-code toolset and user-friendly interface, saving time and development costs. The tool doesn’t require any specific expertise and allows users to enhance virtual worlds with natural-looking liquid from the get-go.

Cross-platform application & compatibility with any game engine

Zibra Liquids Pro is now available for Unity3D and will soon be available for Unreal Engine. It can easily be integrated into any game engine on demand. The simulation can be optimised to run on different platforms, from PC to mobile devices and even VR.

Effortless object interaction

Zibra Liquids Pro's unique AI layer simplifies prototyping, which enables the liquid to engage with complex 3D objects. The liquid can react to objects or characters in gameplay, opening up new possibilities for adding interactive elements.

Limitless customisation options

The tool enables users to bring their visions to life through its flexible liquid settings, giving them the freedom to adjust the look and behaviour of the liquid as they wish.

Utilizing a powerful physics solver and a custom ML-based approach, Zibra Liquids Pro offers an extensive feature set designed to enable the creation of performant small to midsize liquid simulations for every possible application and scenario.

Zibra Liquids Pro features are

Real-time 3D liquid simulation

Zibra Liquids Pro can simulate liquid in real time, directly from the game engine.

AI-accelerated interaction with static and skinned meshes

AI-powered features make it easy to perform liquid interactions with objects of any shape, as well as use complex meshes as colliders and liquid manipulators, enabling the creation of dynamic characters and gameplay elements made of liquid.

Multiple force fields

The tool allows users to apply force to the liquid in various ways. There are different force field types that define exactly how the force influences the liquid. Radial force field pulls or pushes liquid to/from a specified point, and directional force fields force liquid in a specified direction. Swirl force field forces liquid to rotate around it.

Numerous physical and visual parameters

Zibra Liquids Pro offers numerous liquid customization options, making it possible to set up physical and visual parameters like viscosity, density, surface tension, color, metalness and more. Creators can configure the liquid visual and physical properties from scratch or use one of the presets (pool water, oil, slime, blood, paint, mercury, and many more) as a starting point.

Liquid mixing support

Users can use multiple liquid types in the same simulation and mix liquids with different properties to create complex visual effects and game mechanics that can be applied in games, training simulators, and educational tools.

Foam simulation

Zibra Liquids Pro feature set is enhanced by the foam effect, which enables the liquid to be even more lifelike.

Mobile & VR support

The solution works on Windows, UWP, macOS, iOS, Android (including MetaQues2/Pro), and PC VR.

“We’re optimistic about the future of technology and its ability to transform the gaming industry. We believe that in the next few years, real-time effects will become the new standard for all use cases, replacing the static and baked effects of the past. As a company committed to staying ahead of the curve, we are excited to be at the forefront of this evolution”, - says Alex Petrenko, CEO at ZibraAI.

Zibra Liquids Pro is available on a monthly and annual subscription basis. Custom feature development and engine integration can be requested on demand. Users are able to test Zibra Liquids Pro for free during a 14-day trial.

Zibra Liquids Pro is just the first product of Zibra Effects. The ZibraAI R&D team is set on improving the existing visual effect creation tools and developing new ones by working closely with the community and customers, conducting experiments, and tackling real project cases.

In the future, the team intends to expand the Zibra Effects offering by adding new real-time simulation tools and other improvements to be packaged in the form of an all-in-one solution for creating all possible visual effects. Additionally, ZibraAI is working on tools that leverage the power of Generative AI to semi-automate the creation of 3D content, which is a notoriously difficult and time-consuming task. These tools enable the quick generation of production-ready 3D objects, characters, PBR materials, and textures from simple inputs such as text, video, and image references. By automating routine manual tasks, these solutions provide content creators with more time to focus on creativity while delivering the highest-quality 3D content for virtual worlds.
