Just secured $200 million and another 1 billion RMB, the major game developer intensively bets on the 3D world model VAST.

According to Dynamic Beating monitoring, AI 3D generation company VAST (Volumetric Ambient SurrounT) has completed a strategic Series A3 funding round of over 1 billion RMB, with investment from Geely Capital, 4399, TANWAN Games, Giant Network, and others. This round comes less than a month after the previous funding round of nearly 200 million USD.

The aggressive entry of industry capital corresponds to specific business needs. Game developers such as 4399 and Giant Network are interested in VAST's rapid 3D asset generation capabilities, such as reducing the creation time of highly detailed textures from days to 2 minutes, directly helping game projects save money. Industrial giants like Geely are focused on autonomous driving and robot training, requiring VAST's in-progress 3D world model, Project Eden, to efficiently generate a physically consistent, multiplayer interactive virtual simulation space.
