What’s new in VIVERSE; August 2025 Updates

August is about bigger worlds and faster loops. You can put multiple scenes inside one world, launch no-code AI characters, turn video into 3D on request, generate models from text or images, stream denser content, and get useful alerts when collaborators or creators ship something new. 

What’s New 

GitHub

VIVERSE believes in open, collaborative experiences, where you can iterate and manage your projects with ease. To further this, we’ve included the ability to now link to your project’s GitHub repo via your world’s World Settings. Share your project with the development community for collaboration, idea sharing, and more.

Create SDK + PlayCanvas Extension

You can set up and switch between several scenes without leaving the session, which makes larger or modular worlds easier to build and navigate.

VIVERSE AI

Persona was released, marking the official launch of VIVERSE’s conversational NPC platform. With that comes two additional features for VIVERSE creators: 

• Object AI turns a text or image prompt into a downloadable 3D model and then made available in My Assets within your account.
• Scene AI converts video to a 3D Gaussian Splatting and is available by request. 

VIVERSE AI Missions

Three new missions have been added, allowing you to try the AI tools and share your results with the community. Learn more about Mission Points and how to collect them.

Polygon Streaming Update

You’ll see up to a 12% bump in total mesh count, along with support for animated models, with the latest in Polygon Streaming.

Notifications

You’ll get a message when you’re added as a co-owner on a world and another when a creator you follow launches a new world. 

How to Access

GitHub

Access World Settings for your world, then add a link to your project files that you’ve shared on GitHub.

Multiple scenes

Update to the latest Create SDK and PlayCanvas extension, then follow the SDK API reference to add a second scene and switch between them.  

Persona

Visit VIVERSE Persona to request a demo or access your console, then create a character with your own content and test it in a world. 

Mission Points

Click your profile icon at the top right of your VIVERSE dashboard, then select “Missions” to access tasks for points, which you can then use in the Marketplace or for 3D model generation with Object AI.

Scene AI

Request access to the video-to-3DGS pipeline via Contact Us. Once access is granted, you can upload a clip, then review the output. 

Object AI

Submit a text or image prompt, then download the model from My Assets, available by clicking on your profile icon in the top right of your VIVERSE account.

Polygon Streaming Converter

Process your scene with the latest converter (3.0.2) and compare output against your prior build.

Notifications

Check activity or device notifications for co-owner assignments, and when creators you follow launch new experiences.

Community

We’d love to see how August lands in your projects. Share a short clip that shows multi-scene switching, a Persona moment, a Scene AI capture, or an Object AI model coming to life. If your world’s embedded off-site, include the link so others can try it without digging. Drop your comments, projects, and examples in the VIVERSE Discord, or tag us on social media!
