The fall
A burning airship falls over a city skyline while a wall of dust and water swallows the streets below.
AI VFX for the shots no set could hold.
Creatures, disasters, crashes and whole worlds, generated with AI and finished like any VFX house would.
Linex Studios is an AI VFX studio. We generate visual effects shots with AI, then direct and finish them like any VFX house would. Creatures, disasters, crashes and whole worlds that used to need a render farm, a simulation team and a blockbuster budget.
Titan
A towering creature rises from a storm-lashed shore and roars into camera. Skin, weight, weather and a close-up that holds up at full screen.
AI visual effects, shot by shot
Every shot here was generated with AI and finished by hand. Tap any shot to watch it with sound.
Turn one
An orange Formula 1 car clips a rival and cartwheels down the straight in a shower of debris and sparks.
Derail
A man sprints beneath a derailing freight car as sparks and splintered sleepers fly past him.
Ember
A creature made of smoke and fire stalks through a burning ruin at night.
Catastrophe
A flooded village, a hurricane seen from orbit and a building blown apart. Three scales of disaster in seven seconds.
Primates
A silverback climbs a rock in a misty rainforest while the troop watches. Photoreal fur, weight and light.
Deep
A great white emerges from dark water and opens its jaws into the lens.
Near miss
A camera low on a mountain highway as a truck thunders overhead and a car spins out behind it.

AI VFX or traditional VFX?
Both have a place. Here is where AI changes the maths.
- Speed
- A traditional creature or destruction shot moves through modelling, rigging, simulation, lighting and rendering. An AI VFX shot is generated, directed and finished, which cuts weeks from the schedule.
- Cost
- No render farm, no simulation specialists on day rates and far fewer artist hours per shot, so ambitious effects fit commercial and indie budgets.
- Iteration
- Try five versions of a disaster before lunch. Directors can explore the shot instead of committing to one expensive build.
- Control
- When a shot needs frame-exact, repeatable control, traditional CG still wins. We tell you honestly which shots suit which method.
From brief to final VFX shot
Shot breakdown
We read your script, edit or brief and break it into VFX shots, with references for scale, lens and mood.
Look development
Creatures, environments and effects are designed as stills and approved before any motion is generated.
Generation and direction
Each shot is generated and regenerated until motion, scale, lighting and camera feel right.
Composite and grade
Cleanup, compositing and colour in After Effects and DaVinci Resolve, delivered to your spec.
AI VFX FAQ
What is AI VFX?
AI VFX is visual effects made with generative AI: creatures, destruction, disasters, crowds, vehicles and whole environments generated as moving shots instead of being modelled, simulated and rendered frame by frame. We direct those shots like any VFX supervisor would and finish them in compositing and grading.
How is AI VFX different from traditional VFX?
Traditional VFX builds effects in 3D, simulates them and renders them, which takes large teams, long schedules and big budgets. AI VFX generates the shot directly, so a creature attack, a flood or a stadium crash can be explored and finished in a fraction of the time and cost. Traditional pipelines still win on frame-exact control, so we pick the right tool for each shot.
Can you add AI VFX shots to live-action footage?
Yes. We can generate VFX shots designed to cut into a live-action edit, matched to your footage's lens feel, grade and grain. Send a few frames or a rough cut and we will tell you what is realistic before quoting.
What kinds of VFX can you create?
Creatures and animals, natural disasters, explosions and destruction, vehicle crashes and stunts, underwater and aerial shots, set extensions, crowds and entire period or fantasy worlds.
Is AI VFX good enough for advertising and film?
For many shots, yes. Every shot on this site was generated with AI and finished by hand. For hero shots that need exact, repeatable control, we can combine AI generation with conventional compositing.
