What Gaya Simulations does

Gaya Simulations, now operating as Gaya Studios, is a privately held B2B 3D content creation studio serving the gaming and immersive-experience industries. Founded in 2014 and headquartered in Tel Aviv, the company delivers premium 3D assets for major gaming publishers through four integrated service lines: 3D Vehicles, 3D Environment, 3D Props & Hard Surfaces, and Photogrammetry & Research. Its core technical differentiator is the combination of photogrammetry-based real-world data capture with exclusive access to physical vehicles and reference material, enabling accurate digital reproduction of vehicles, environments, and hard-surface objects for simulation and gaming applications.

The business operates as a project-based professional services provider rather than a software or platform company. Engagements span from initial research and data capture through asset generation to final optimization, delivered directly to enterprise clients via a 'Let's Collaborate' B2B sales motion with no public pricing or self-service channel. The studio employs 130+ makers distributed across four global offices (Tel Aviv, Madrid, Brazil, and Eastern Europe), positioning it for multi-region delivery and cost-arbitrage. Named enterprise customers include Xbox Game Studios and PMDG, both of which appear as featured partners on the company website.

Revenue mechanics are anchored to large enterprise engagements with limited disclosed pricing transparency. The company is private, with no disclosed funding rounds, investors, M&A activity, or financial figures in the available source data. There is no evidence of AI-native product capabilities, proprietary software platforms, or recurring SaaS revenue; the model is services-led with intellectual property residing primarily in methodology, photogrammetry know-how, and accumulated 3D asset libraries rather than in a licensable technology stack.
