8th Wall disrupts the legacy game engine model with the official launch of AI-native 3D development platform
Now generally available, 8th Wall Studio includes AI-powered creation and one-click app deployment—marking a new era for 3D and XR development
PALO ALTO, Calif., June 10, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Today, 8th Wall announced the general release of 8th Wall Studio, a 3D game engine purpose-built for the AI era. Designed from the ground up for modern development, 8th Wall eliminates the bloat and limitations of legacy engines to deliver a faster, smarter way to build immersive content.
Studio graduates from beta with a powerful new feature set designed to accelerate 3D and XR development. From AI-generated assets to native app builds, developers can go from concept to app store with more speed, flexibility, and scale than ever.
8th Wall has been a pioneer in creating 3D and AR web apps that are instantly accessible in the browser. It is now reaching beyond this foundation to enable iOS, Android, desktop and headset native app development. Beginning today, developers can deploy their content as Android apps with other platforms coming soon. This gives developers the flexibility to meet their audience wherever they are and significantly increases their reach.
'Today changes what developers can expect from a modern 3D engine,' said Erik Murphy-Chutorian, Founder of 8th Wall. '8th Wall now provides a departure from legacy game engines that originated decades ago. With the launch of our AI and native export features, we are ushering in a new era of game development, one that truly embraces cross-platform and integrates AI as a core part of the creation process.'
The new 8th Wall Asset Lab gives developers the ability to generate images, 3D models and rigged and animated character models using GenAI and instantly add them to their scene. The system is designed to deliver cutting-edge AI asset creation faster than any other solution on the market. It seamlessly integrates best-in-class generative models, including OpenAI's GPT Image 1, Flux.1 Kontext, Trellis 3D, Hunyuan3D, and Meshy, into an automated workflow from generation to import. This new capability makes prototyping feel a whole lot more like production by replacing grey boxes and cubes with real content.

'AI is changing how developers prototype and build content. By equipping developers with AI-first tools, we believe they will be able to create high-quality prototypes and games faster than ever before,' said Joel Udwin, Director of Product at 8th Wall. 'This is just the beginning of 8th Wall becoming an AI-first game engine. Developers should soon expect to go beyond assets to be able to use prompts to generate scenes and watch as their experience takes shape in our visual editor.'
All of these new capabilities and more are now live in 8th Wall. The use of advanced features such as AI-generated assets and native app export require the use of credits. Free plan users get 50 credits every month. Existing developers and anyone who signs up in June get an extra 50 bonus credits to kick things off.
Developers can build, prototype and publish 3D and XR experiences for free on 8th Wall by visiting 8thwall.com.

Coming Soon: SeeClickFix Odessa City App
ODESSA, Texas (KMID/KPEJ)- The City of Odessa is launching a new app called SeeClickFix, where Odessans will now be able to report potholes, animal attacks, illegal dumping, and much more. All you have to do is take a picture of the problem, write a short description, and send it to them. 'It assigns you a ticket number. You could follow that wherever it goes,' Craig Stoker at-large said. 'So, if it comes in and it needs to go to solid waste trash needs to be picked up. You are going to be able to follow that ticket. You will see that it went to solid waste. You are going to see that they sent out a truck. You are going to see that it got picked up.' There will be multiple types of issues that people can report and let the city know of. Stoker said they would try to fix the problems as soon as possible. 'I want to be able to use this tool as both the recording tool and the accountability tool,' Stoker said. 'Why did it take X amount of time to get this done hey you great job you got that done in an hour and a half.' The City of Midland has been using the app for quite some time and said it's been a success. 'Looking at Midland. Looking at the way they SeeClickFix. Looking at the way they use their back end of reporting to make their departments better, to improve their customer service,' Stoker said. 'Those are the things that I've been watching and learning from and really wanting to use over here.' Those who don't want to download the app can still go to the City's website or call them. You can talk to the new Chatbot where you can ask any questions or it will direct you to where you need to go. Both Android users and Apple users can download the app. Also, city officials are hoping to have the app launched by the end of the month. We will keep you updated. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc.
