COLOGNE, Germany, Aug. 21, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Tencent Games at gamescom 2025 announced the global debut of VISVISE, an end-to-end AI game creation suite, which can dramatically cut down game art design time from days or even months, down to minutes. With capabilities spanning animation and modeling to the creation of intelligent NPCs, or managing digital assets, VISVISE provides game developers and designers with a complete AIGC-powered toolset to accelerate workflows.
Unlocking the Power of AI-Enabled Productivity for Game Art Design
Debuting internationally today and being demonstrated for the first time at gamescom 2025, VISVISE's platform rapidly streamlines the game art design workflow across the entire art creation pipeline, enabling developers to rapidly skin and animate characters within just minutes.
In fact, according to industry averages, rigging and skinning a single game character will take designers between 1 and 3.5 days, while a skeletal animation might normally require between 3 and 7 days. However, this process can be reduced to just 10 seconds with VISVISE. This results in an eightfold improvement in character skinning throughput and transforms animation into a fully automated process of "keyframe generation + intelligent in-betweening."
VISVISE's AI-Driven 3D Character Animation: From Challenges to Scaled Deployment
Revealing the mechanics of VISVISE during the Devcom Game Developer Conference, held alongside gamescom in Cologne, Tencent Games VISVISE expert Zijiao Zeng, delivered a keynote titled AI Redefining 3D Animation Production — End-to-End Innovation in Character Animation."
During the presentation, Zeng revealed two key core technologies, VISVISE GoSkinning and VISVISE MotionBlink, which collectively make up VISVISE's tools for game art developers.
- VISVISE GoSkinning – leverages a universal AI model to automatically adapt to different skeletal structures. Achieving around 85% automation, GoSkinning uses a two-step process of bone chain prediction and weight refinement, while its proprietary "Skirt AI" addresses complex garment deformation issues.
- VISVISE MotionBlink – Part of the animation production pipeline, VISVISE MotionBlink uses a self-regressive diffusion architecture to rapidly generate keyframes. Combined with a pre-trained CVAE and contrastive learning to produce smooth motion transitions that rival optical motion capture, common issues such as foot sliding and jitter are eliminated.
Notably, these AIGC tools' mark on game development pipelines is clear and undeniable. GoSkinning reduces full outfit skinning to minutes, a process that traditionally requires days, while MotionBlink generates 10 seconds of animations in seconds, compressing production timelines significantly.
Validated by Research, VISVISE is Leaving its Mark on Future of Game Art Production
With more than 20 papers accepted at conferences like the prestigious SIGGRAPH, VISVISE's research foundations and peer recognition has been validated at premier academic institutions and underscores its technical rigor and global applicability.
And its mark is indelible even at gamescom, where developers lauded VISVISE's plug-in architecture, enabling AI tools to be integrated into existing pipelines without workflow disruption. This seamless compatibility directly answers the industry's need for both high-quality assets and rapid iteration.
"VISVISE fundamentally reshapes how we approach animation," observed a German game artist after testing the MotionBlink system at gamescom. "It liberates us from technical execution to focus purely on creative vision."
Not surprisingly, VISVISE's tools have already been adopted for games including PUBG MOBILE, and Wuthering Waves, while GoSkinning has already been implemented in the development of more than 90 games.
VISVISE channels Tencent's more than 20 years of game expertise into an industrial-grade pipeline. With new AI tools rolling out progressively to global studios, developers gain an optimized framework for creative innovation.

XIAMEN, China, Dec. 13, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- As Long-duration Energy Storage (LDES) becomes central to overcoming renewable intermittency and enabling all-weather green power, the third HiTHIUM Eco-Day was successfully concluded under the theme of "The Awakening of Energy • The New World" on December 12. The event brought together global LDES experts, AIDC (AI Data Center) industry leaders, and partners from across the energy ecosystem. The event also marked the global launch of three major innovations: the ∞Power8 6.9MW/55.2MWh 8-hour-native solution, the ∞Cell 1300Ah, dedicated 8h LDES Cell, and the ∞Power Solutions for AI Data Center, a full-duration collaborative lithium–sodium energy storage solution.
LDES Becomes as a Strategic Enabler for All-Weather Green Power
During the opening remarks, Co-founder and CEO of HiTHIUM, Jason Wang noted the core path to shift green power from "weather-dependent" to "stable and easy to use" is energy storage, especially LDES. To advance this vision, HiTHIUM officially launched the "All-Weather Green Power • 135 Lighthouse Plan." Centered on LDES and guided by the mission of co-creating a new world of always-available green energy, the five-year initiative focuses on three action pillars—green intelligent computing, comprehensive storage deployment, and green power hubs—aiming to extend the "lighthouse light" of LDES across industries and let green energy benefit all.
Industry experts from around the world joined the discussion. Senior Analyst Alex Cipolla from Wood Mackenzie shared insights on global LDES trends, applications, and technology pathways. Zhihua Liu, Solutions Director for South China region of Eaton Power Shanghai, also shared the company's innovations in high-voltage DC and intelligent power distribution.
Three Groundbreaking Technologies Point to the Future of LDES and AI Infrastructure
As the highlight of the Eco-Day, HiTHIUM unveiled three groundbreaking technologies:
∞Power8 6.9MW/55.2MWh, the world's first 8-hour-native LDES solution, engineered for all-weather renewable smoothing, multi-hour shifting, and stable green power delivery.
∞Cell 1300Ah Dedicated 8-Hour Cell, a next-generation high-capacity cell enabling deep 8-hour cycling, 20+ years of service life, superior safety, and significantly lower LCOE.
∞Power Solutions for AI Data Center, the industry's first lithium–sodium full-duration solution combining long-duration lithium storage with high-rate sodium-ion for millisecond-level response, built to meet AIDC's dual needs for long-term stability and instantaneous power support.
AIDC in Focus: Decoding Energy Pathways and Launching the Joint Industry Bluebook
At the AIDC roundtable hosted by Board Member and Vice President of HiTHIUM, Dr. Nazar Yi, experts from telecom operators, data center companies, and industry associations, discussions were made on whether LDES is the "missing piece" in enabling zero-carbon AIDCs. Guests noted that AIDCs face increasing tension between soaring computing demand and constrained energy supply, and that lithium-based LDES is a key pathway to improving stability, lowering costs, and enabling scalable development.
The event also featured the joint release of the 2025 China AIDC Energy Storage Bluebook by HiTHIUM and leading industry organizations. The report outlines AIDC energy consumption trends, evolving BBU requirements, and the growing importance of LDES to AIDC energy constraints, providing detailed analysis from industry demand to deployment strategies.
Accelerating AI–Energy Integration and Building an Open LDES Ecosystem
In the closing remark, Founder and President of HiTHIUM, Jeff Wu highlighted that energy storage must match wind and solar not only in the lifespan but also in the cost. To achieve this goal, HiTHIUM will focus on four priorities: developing ultra-large, high-safety, long-life cells; building safer, more integrated, and more efficient systems; advancing intelligent manufacturing; and delivering fully integrated energy storage solutions.
As HiTHIUM's flagship annual event, Eco-Day reflects the company's rapid rise to the Top 2 position in global energy storage battery shipments. Looking ahead, HiTHIUM will continue to expand its technology portfolio, deepen partnership networks, and contribute to global clean energy development while shaping the future of energy storage in the AI era.
