3D Generative AI company Third Dimension AI announced the closing of its $7 million seed financing led by Felicis, with participation from Abstract Ventures, MVP, Soma Capital, Solari Capital, and other investors. The capital will be used to expand the Third Dimension team and further train 3D generative AI models that will bring to life Third Dimension’s goal of becoming a leading 3D company.
Launched by autonomous vehicle and gaming experts Tolga Kart, Piotr Sokolski, and Özgun Pelvan, Third Dimension will empower engineers and artists to generate incredibly detailed, high-fidelity worlds—both real and imagined—with a single click. Before founding Third Dimension, Kart was VP of Engineering for a synthetic data company, Parallel Domain. Before joining Tesla as Technical Program Management & Simulation for Autopilot for over two years, he was a Senior Director on Call of Duty at Activision for over five years. Sokolski spent four years at Wayve, where he built photorealistic neural simulators for self-driving cars, and over three years at Google. Pelvan is a published machine learning engineer with five published papers about neural networks and data imputation.
Third Dimension offers immersive quality and rendering engine ready content that is ready to use by professionals across multiple industries. And Third Dimension’s target customers range from The U.S. Military to video game developers to autonomous vehicle companies.
Third Dimension aims to build a one-stop tool that accelerates companies’ abilities to create worlds, enabling artists to get to quality faster and allowing engineers to build fantastical or entirely accurate representations of the real world in high fidelity. This technology will accelerate developers’ workflows from months to days or hours and help save millions in expensive graphics development budgets.
KEY QUOTES:
“The ability to simulate the real world is one of the last frontiers in solving some very difficult engineering problems. 3D content generation is at an inflection point, and it’s about to have its Software 2.0 moment. Over the last five years, text and code generation have been transformed with ChatGPT. Image generation quickly followed suit. Video generation is seeing incredible momentum and will soon be a solved problem. 3D generation is the next frontier for generative content.”
-Tolga Kart, Third Dimension’s CEO
“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. By accelerating creativity and enhancing the detail in simulations, Third Dimension opens up new possibilities across various industries from defense to video games, and more. We’re so excited to be partnering with this incredibly experienced, veteran team.”
-Aydin Senkut, Managing Partner and Founder at Felicis
