Tallinn-based Alpha3D, an AI-powered 3D asset creation platform, has acquired MoonlanderAI, an AI-driven game development platform, to expand its capabilities in AI-generated 3D content. MoonlanderAI’s “Text-2-Game” technology, which enables rapid creation of interactive 3D worlds, will now be integrated into Alpha3D’s platform. The acquisition reflects a broader shift in the XR industry, where AI is increasingly used to streamline development processes. Alpha3D has raised €2 million from investors including Curiosity VC, former Estonian Prime Minister Taavi Rõivas, and BORGET Sebastien, cofounder of The Sandbox. The deal highlights the growing role of AI in automating and accelerating 3D content creation.
Alpha3D is a generative AI platform that converts text prompts or 2D images into 3D digital assets. As demand for 3D content grows with the expansion of extended reality (XR), traditional asset creation remains a resource-intensive process. Alpha3D’s technology automates this workflow, reducing the time and cost associated with 3D modeling. The platform’s outputs are compatible with various applications, including AR, VR, gaming, and virtual try-ons. By integrating AI-driven automation, Alpha3D aims to address scalability challenges in 3D content production.
“With this acquisition, we are tearing down the old barriers of user-generated content in XR,” said Madis Alesmaa, CEO of Alpha3D. “MoonlanderAI’s mind-blowing AI technology for 3D worlds and game development is the missing link in our master plan to make 3D creation effortless, intuitive, and universal. Together, we’re not just building tools—we’re unlocking a new dimension of creation where anyone, from indie devs to global brands, can shape the future at lightspeed.”
MoonlanderAI develops AI-driven solutions for game development, focusing on automating the creation of 3D environments and game mechanics. By integrating procedural AI, natural language processing, and machine learning, the company enables faster world-building across various game genres. Its text-to-procedural generation technology streamlines development workflows, reducing the time and effort required for creating immersive virtual environments. With a team specializing in game development, AI, and digital twin technology, MoonlanderAI aims to provide standardized tools that enhance efficiency in modern game design.
“Moonlander was built to redefine what’s possible in 3D and game development,” said Kasem Challiou, CEO of MoonlanderAI. “This acquisition isn’t just about collaboration—it’s about changing the entire paradigm of 3D content creation.Together with Alpha3D, we are ushering in a new era where game development is instant, AI-driven, and limitless.”
