VPak Asset Pipeline
Parallel zstd-compressed archive builder and multi-format asset processor
The asset pipeline for the V Engine. VPak Builder creates parallel zstd-compressed archives. Asset Importer converts GLB/glTF to engine-native Vmesh/Vtex, WAV to compressed VPak entries, images with mipmaps, and safetensors to .vnn/.vvo/.vemb. Asset Viewer provides an interactive Vulkan preview with PBR materials and animation playback.
Pricing
Market comparison
Standalone asset pipeline tools such as Simplygon Cloud start around $500-$2,000/month for enterprise processing. Open-source alternatives like Blender + gltfpack are free but require custom integration.
