X3D Studio Opens Southeast Asia’s Largest Virtual Production Studio in Iconic Former Power Station

X3D Studio has officially opened its doors as Southeast Asia’s largest virtual production studio. Located within a historic 40,000 sq ft former power station, the state-of-the-art facility in Singapore represents a significant milestone for the region’s media and entertainment industry.

An Unmatched Facility for Innovation

Following an S$8 million refurbishment, X3D Studio now offers cutting-edge technology and advanced facilities that rival leading studios worldwide.

These films, set to premiere on the studio’s website and YouTube channel, showcase the studio’s advanced capabilities and the limitless possibilities of virtual production.
