Imagine turning a 2D sketch into a fully playable 3D world as Third Dimension AI secures $7M to secure game creation!

Third Dimension is going to redefine 3D creation.

“3D content generation is at an inflection point; it’s about to have its Software 2.0 moment.” These words from Tolga Kart, CEO of Third Dimension AI, encapsulate the ambitious vision behind the company as it emerges from stealth mode. Today, Third Dimension AI proudly announces a $6.9 million Seed funding round, led by Felicis and supported by a roster of partners with deep expertise in technology, including Abstract Ventures, MVP Ventures, Soma Capital, and Solari Capital.

Founded by Kart, along with co-founders Soner Özgün Pelvan and Piotr Sokólski, Third Dimension AI is set to revolutionize the way 3D worlds are created. With over 18 years of experience in video games and autonomous vehicles, Kart understands the complexities and limitations of traditional 3D content creation. He reflects on his experiences managing large teams and massive budgets, noting, “I’ve seen firsthand how limiting the current technology is—only the largest, best-funded teams can create truly immersive worlds or simulation environments.”

The company was born out of the desire to democratize 3D content creation, enabling engineers and artists to generate incredibly detailed, high-fidelity worlds—both real and imagined—with just a single click. Picture recreating entire cities or designing fantastical universes in mere hours rather than months; this is the transformative potential of Third Dimension AI’s platform.

With the recent funding, Third Dimension AI is poised to expand its already world-class team and push the boundaries of what’s possible with 3D generative AI. Kart emphasizes the significance of this investment: “This funding will allow us to further develop our platform and bring our vision to life, making high-quality 3D generation accessible to everyone.”

Kart is joined in this journey by Pelvan, who played a crucial role in turning Kart’s ideas into a working prototype, and Sokólski, who previously built a simulation product at Wayve that is redefining the category. Together, they are committed to exploring and advancing frontier technology in 3D content generation.

Third Dimension AI aims to simplify the creation of large-scale 3D environments, whether they’re digital twins of real places or entirely fictional worlds. Their approach utilizes advanced techniques such as Radiance Fields and Diffusion—including Nerf, Gaussian Splatting, and Image/Video Generation—to create a seamless pipeline for converting 2D images and videos into detailed 3D meshes. This groundbreaking technology not only accelerates the development timeline but also dramatically reduces costs associated with graphics production, which can often exceed millions.

“Imagine an artist sketching a 2D concept, inputting it into our platform, and within days having a fully playable 3D world,” Kart explains. This capability transforms the creative process, enabling level designers and concept artists to bring their visions to life more efficiently than ever before.

The company’s technology holds immense potential for various sectors, including autonomous vehicle training, military simulations, and virtual environments for film production. Kart notes, “Combining video game engines with new generative AI technology will allow simulation efforts to represent the real world with unprecedented accuracy.”

Aydin Senkut, managing partner at Felicis, shares his enthusiasm, stating, “Third Dimension is going to redefine 3D creation. Their groundbreaking technology, which seamlessly generates precise 3D environments with a single click, is set to transform how engineers and artists create and simulate both real and imagined environments.”

As Third Dimension AI opens its doors, it is clear that this startup is not merely launching a product; it is igniting a movement in the realm of 3D generation. With its innovative platform and a commitment to pushing technological boundaries, Third Dimension AI is poised to redefine the art of world-building, making it accessible to all and establishing a new standard for creativity in the digital age.

And as they embark on this exciting journey, they are also hiring, so interested talent should not miss out on the opportunity to join this pioneering team at the forefront of 3D content generation.
