Inside the engine

Vira Features
Vira Engine covers the whole job of making a 3D game. You build levels from kits or generate them from a seed, shape the terrain, light the scene, set up the physics and drop in a player who can already run, jump and shoot.
Every tool works on the same project, so the model you sculpt, the music you write and the rules you build sit side by side and play together the moment you press Play.
35 modular pieces in five styles: Sci-fi, Medieval, Modern, Industrial and Horror. Snap walls, floors, doors and stairs together, or place smart rooms and whole buildings in one go.
Seeded generators lay out dungeons with keys, locked doors and shortcuts, facilities with keycards, towns, forests and caves. Lock the sections you like and reroll the rest.
Seed 4821
Terrain from 64 to 256 meters across, with presets for flat ground, hills, mountains, islands, valleys and desert. Raise, lower, smooth and paint it by hand.
Physically based materials, ambient occlusion, bloom, light shafts and mirrors. Finish the look with film grain, a vignette and a color grade, and set lights to animate on their own.
Dynamic props tip and roll, bodies fall as ragdolls, glass breaks into pieces and moving platforms carry the player along.
First and third person controllers come ready. Weapons recoil and reload, enemies patrol, guard, wander or hunt, and you can add slow motion, checkpoints and keys without writing a line.
Design menus and HUDs on a 1280 × 720 stage that looks exactly like the game. Pick a theme, add one of nine entrance animations or eight idle motions, make a logo and show live values like {health}. Gamepad navigation comes built in.
Turn any level into VR. Players punch, grab and throw with their hands, pull objects to their palm and block shots, and they can join the same online match as phone and desktop players.
Arena rooms, vaults, shops, upgrade shrines, elite rooms and a boss, generated fresh for each run.
Build gadgets from Flow nodes, like a bouncy ball, a turret or a jetpack controller, and reuse them in any level.
Bring in a game you already made. Its tables open as spreadsheets, its scripts open in Code view and you can swap images and sounds in place.
Autosave every two minutes, a recovery copy every 30 seconds, crash recovery and the last 25 versions of your project.
Press Ctrl+K to jump to any tool, object or setting without hunting through menus.
Export writes your whole game, assets and all, to files that belong to you. Keep them, back them up or publish on Vira with your name on it.
Music Studio
Music Studio is a complete sequencer inside the engine. You write patterns on a 32-step grid, stack lanes for drums, bass, chords and leads, and arrange them into songs up to twenty minutes long.
The engine generates every sound itself, so your soundtrack ships inside your game with nothing extra to download. Start from one of 23 templates or a blank pattern.
Kits for Classic, Trap, Boom bap, 80s, Lo-fi and Techno, each with variants, rolls and a level for every step.
Chord shapes from seventh sus4 to elevenths, thirteenths, six nines, quartal and shell voicings, played on Piano, Rhodes, Sync, Brass, Flute, Whistle, Ping or Guitar.
23 templates to start from, ten of them long-form pieces that run two to eight minutes. Atmospheres and transitions carry one section into the next.
A sound maker with presets from pistols to rain, plus a voice recorder for dialogue, shouts and barks.
Separate buses for master, effects, music, ambient and interface, so players can set each one to taste.
Render any song to MP3 or WAV for a trailer, a stream or a soundtrack release.
Coding
You build behavior in Vira from Logic Tiles. A When tile starts a rule, Check tiles decide whether it continues and Do tiles make things happen. Line them up and the rule reads like plain English.
Variables store numbers, on and off switches and text. The live debugger counts how many times each tile fires while you play, which shows you the exact step where a rule stops. In the Workshop, Flow nodes pass signals between the parts of a gadget, and Code view opens the scripts of any game you import.
Variables
Debugger
Rules start with an event, test a condition and act. You pick each part from a list, so a rule never breaks on a typo.
Numbers, on and off switches and text. Show any of them in your interface with a token like {health}.
Counts each time a tile fires while you play, so you can spot the step where a rule stops.
Wire gadgets together in the Workshop by passing signals from one node to the next.
Open the scripts of an imported game and edit them right next to your tiles.
A single rule can start an animation, play a cutscene, trigger a sound and update the interface.
Reactors
Reactor view turns a behavior into a 3D reaction chain. A trigger core fires energy down braided threads into a gate. The gate splits into a pass strand and a fail strand, and each strand feeds hexagonal action cells.
Waits stretch the strand in time. Variables float above the chain as memory crystals, linked to each cell that reads or writes them. Switch any rule between Tiles and Reactor with one click, orbit around it, click a cell to edit it and add a step right where you need one.
Each rule begins at a glowing core that fires the moment its event happens.
The gate splits energy two ways, so you see both outcomes of a check side by side.
Each action sits on the strand as a cell. Click one to edit it, or add a step where you need it.
Variables float above the chain, linked to each cell that reads or writes them.
Sculpting
Start from a sphere, cube, cylinder, ring or plane and work it with brushes that push and pull like the real thing. Draw and Clay build up form, Smooth softens it, Crease cuts a sharp line and Grab moves a whole area at once.
Mirror X sculpts both sides together. Pen pressure sets the strength, Shift switches to Smooth and Ctrl subtracts instead of adding. Subdivide for finer detail, paint color onto the surface, and preview the result in clay, wax, jade, pearl, graphite or chrome.
Material
Draw, Clay, Smooth, Flatten, Inflate, Pinch, Crease, Grab and Paint.
Sculpt both sides at once with Mirror X. Pen pressure sets how hard each stroke pushes.
Hold Shift to smooth and Ctrl to subtract, without leaving the brush you are on.
Preview your model in clay, wax, jade, pearl, graphite or chrome, then subdivide for finer detail.
Modeling
For props and architecture, model from eleven primitives: Box, Cylinder, Sphere, Cone, Ring, Capsule, Wedge, Pipe, Dome, Prism and Panel. Group them, mirror them, duplicate them and save the result to your library.
Templates give you a head start with furniture, street props, containers and building parts. Models from other tools come in through glTF and OBJ import and behave like anything else in the scene.
Inspector
Box, Cylinder, Sphere, Cone, Ring, Capsule, Wedge, Pipe, Dome, Prism and Panel.
Combine shapes into one model and repeat parts without rebuilding them.
Start from furniture, street props, containers or building parts.
Bring in glTF and OBJ models from other tools and use them like any other object.
Animation
Any object in your scene can move. Key its position, rotation, size and visibility on the timeline, then shape the motion in graph view with smooth, linear, ease in, ease out or bounce curves.
Record mode lets you skip the keys: switch it on, move things where you want them and Vira writes the keyframes for you. Clips can loop, fire events at exact moments and start or stop from Logic. Moving platforms carry the player with them, and any clip can drop into a cutscene.
Graph view
Key position, rotation, size and visibility, then shape the motion with five easing curves.
Switch on Record, move objects where you want them and Vira writes the keys.
Fire events at exact frames, loop clips and start or stop them from Logic.
Animated platforms carry the player with them, and any clip can drop into a cutscene.
Cutscene Editor
The Cutscene Editor is a real editing timeline. You lay camera shots end to end, drop transitions between them, stack effects on their own track and scrub the playhead to check any frame. If you have cut a video before, you will feel at home in the first minute.
Choose a camera format for the look you want, from the standard game camera to full frame widescreen at 2.39:1, Super 35, large format, giant format and Super 16. Lenses zoom between shots, cameras roll and shake like they are handheld, and speed ramps bend time for slow motion or a sudden snap.
Lay camera shots end to end and trim them like clips. The playhead shows you any frame.
Smooth move, Steady move, Cut, Fade through black, Flash through white and Whip pan.
Fade in, Fade out, Flash, Camera shake, Zoom punch, Vignette, Black and white, Sepia, Dream blur, Glitch and Punchy contrast.
Pick a camera format from standard to giant, set a lens in millimeters and let it zoom between shots.
Bend time with remap curves for slow motion and sudden snaps.
Subtitles, letterbox, sound cues and animation clips, plus intros that play when a level starts.
Made with Vira Engine
Vira Engine ships with sample projects you can play, open and change. They show how a finished game fits together, from logic to lighting.
Safety
Vira Engine autosaves every two minutes and writes a recovery copy every 30 seconds. If the window closes, your project comes back where you left it. You can step back through the last 25 versions, keep backups and run a one-minute self-test that checks the engine.
