Changelog
What shipped.
- 1.8.0July 2, 2026
VFX: looping previews + emitter graphs
VFX generation ships in beta. Describe an effect — fire, smoke, sparks, water, energy, portals — and get a seamlessly looping animated preview plus an emitter graph (JSON) with a field-by-field mapping to Niagara and VFX Graph. Fire and smoke are temperature-driven with curl-noise turbulence.
- 1.7.0June 24, 2026
A viewer worth living in
The generation viewport is now a full scene: your result stands on the Orbie stage with a real shadow, orbit and zoom navigation, five lighting presets (studio, daylight, sunset, night, flat), wireframe and normals display modes, and ground options. Everything you generate lands in a world, not a void.
- 1.6.0June 12, 2026
Skybox exports: HDRI, cubemap, Roblox-ready
Every skybox now downloads as an equirect PNG, a true 32-bit HDRI (.hdr), a standard six-face cubemap, or a Roblox-ready cubemap with the face naming a Sky object expects. Cubemaps are supersampled and seam-checked.
- 1.5.0May 30, 2026
Multi-view Image to 3D + full parameter surface
Image to 3D accepts up to four views (front, back, left, right) for higher-fidelity reconstruction. Text to 3D exposes the complete surface: free polycount, quad topology, texture and PBR toggles, HD texture pass, seeds, real-world scale, and part separation.
- 1.4.0May 16, 2026
Terrain previews that look like terrain
Terrain results now render as shaded-relief material previews — elevation-banded, slope-aware, with layered rock stratification on steep faces — instead of raw grey heightmaps. The 16-bit data you export is unchanged; how you judge it got dramatically better.
- 1.3.0April 25, 2026
The motion suite grows up
Video to Motion traces a clip from your reference footage. The loop tool turns any clip into a seamless cycle. Walk & run cycles pick from 112 live locomotion styles — from confident strides to zombie shuffles — with gait, direction, and stride control.
- 1.2.0April 3, 2026
Rig & animate any model
One click auto-rigs a generated model (T-pose, standard skeleton — bipeds, quadrupeds, birds, serpents, aquatics and more), and preset clips retarget straight onto the fresh rig. Model to moving character without leaving the studio.
- 1.1.0March 14, 2026
Unlimited generations. Lanes, not credits.
Credits are gone. Pro and Studio are unlimited — what you buy is concurrency (parallel lanes per capability), downloads, and priority compute. New customers get $10 off their first month, applied automatically at checkout.
- 1.0.0February 20, 2026
Orbie 1.0
The three pillars go GA: production-grade 3D models, retargetable motion, and 8K skyboxes with true HDRI. One studio, one prompt box, engine-ready output.
- 0.9.0January 28, 2026
Export everything
Model exports cover GLTF, USDZ, FBX, OBJ, STL and 3MF with selectable texture sizes up to 4K. Motion clips add FBX and BVH alongside GLB. No engine questionnaire — you get every format we can emit.
- 0.8.0January 9, 2026
Skybox engine v2
Skies render at up to 8K equirect with a matched true 32-bit HDRI for image-based lighting, supersampled and downscaled for clean gradients. Prompted time-of-day is now authoritative — write “midnight” and you will get midnight.
- 0.7.0December 12, 2025
Projects, libraries, recents
The studio grew real project management: create, rename, and delete projects; every asset lands in a per-project library with previews, specs, and downloads in one place.
- 0.6.0November 21, 2025
Terrain enters beta
Text to terrain: 16-bit heightmaps (PNG + raw r16), a textured mesh, and normal + splat control maps. Heightmap grids size themselves to your target engine — 1009 for Unreal landscapes, 1025 for Unity terrains, 1024 for power-of-two pipelines.
- 0.5.0October 30, 2025
Passwordless sign-in
Login is now a magic link or a six-digit code — both in one email, no passwords to leak. Sessions persist properly across visits and expire only after long inactivity.
- 0.4.0October 10, 2025
Motion quality pass
Text to Motion gained foot planting (no more skating), a quality dial (diffusion steps), and prompt-adherence control. Defaults are tuned for output quality rather than latency.
- 0.3.0September 18, 2025
Image to 3D + art styles
Turn a reference image into a textured mesh, and steer any generation with art styles — from clay and steampunk to voxel and gold. Stylize, retexture, split-to-parts and low-poly transforms land alongside.
- 0.2.0August 22, 2025
3D model generation opens
Text to 3D in beta: clean topology, PBR materials, UVs, optional T-pose for characters. GLB downloads from day one.
- 0.1.5July 25, 2025
Studio alpha, second wave
A larger invite wave into the studio alpha. Skybox generation quality pass, faster previews, and the first version of the prompt router that turns plain requests into the right generator.
- 0.1.0July 3, 2025
Hello, Orbie
First private alpha. One prompt box, procedural skies, and a conviction: game-ready assets should be describable. Everything since has been about earning that sentence.
