Masterpiece Studio provides a suite of tools that leverages generative artificial intelligence and virtual reality (VR) to streamline the 3D content creation process. Founded in 2016 and based in Ottawa, Canada, the company aims to simplify 3D modeling, texturing, and animation for independent creators, artists, and game developers. The platform is designed to be accessible to users of all skill levels, removing technical barriers often associated with traditional 3D software.
The company was founded by Jonathan Gagné, who serves as the CEO. Gagné has a background in cognitive modeling, artificial intelligence, machine learning, and computer vision from his research work at Carleton University and the University of Waterloo. This expertise in machine intelligence and visual creativity directly informed the development of Masterpiece Studio's technology. The development team includes graduates from game development and computer engineering programs, who work on generative AI and advanced computer graphics algorithms.
The core product offering combines AI-powered generation with hands-on VR sculpting and editing. Users can generate 3D models from text prompts, then refine, edit, and animate them within an immersive VR environment. Key features include AI-assisted text-to-animation, auto-rigging, auto-UV mapping, mesh and texture generation, and cloud-based deployment. The software integrates with major game engines like Unity and Unreal Engine. The business model operates on a freemium basis, offering a free version for non-commercial use and paid subscription tiers for commercial projects, which unlock advanced features and support.
