This article explores the major trends shaping 3D art, game development, and film VFX in 2025, fueled by advancements in AI, GPU technology, and software development. Expect more powerful hardware enabling complex creations, the rise of real-time workflows, and wider adoption of engines like Unreal Engine 5.5 across various creative fields.
Looking back on 2024 can help plan for the biggest 3D art trends we'll see in 2025. It’s been an incredible year in 3D art, game art and film VFX, and there are no signs of progress slowing as we enter 2025. AI is driving innovation, with productivity, design, and generative AI being the main focus of the world’s foremost manufacturers. NVIDIA also continues to drive AI GPU development forward as it pivots its leading edge gaming GPU s towards creatives and 3D artists.
What has begun in 2024 will continue into 2025. More powerful hardware will make it possible for 3D visualisers to generate more complex and realistic results that were previously limited to large film and animation studios. The day of the indie artist, game dev, filmmaker competing with larger studios is becoming more of a reality. Software is latching onto hardware and now delivers features that streamline creative workflows. In some areas, this will lead to a reduction in creativity and freedom, whereas other industries will be able to achieve more in less time. My roundup of the trends we expect to see in 2025 includes changes to the way we create as well as how we interact with content. 3D artists will have power in their hands like they've never had before and consumers will engage with it through their phones, VR headsets and various other wearables. For some more predictive fun, read our article on The Witcher 4, which was one of many games announced at The Game Awards that will be created using Unreal Engine 5.5 will continue to cement itself as the go-to option for game developers, but filmmakers, visualisers and animators will adopt Epic Games' engine like never before in 2025. We will see a continued shift away from traditional packages as artists embrace real-time alternatives that are significantly more versatile and adaptable
