About Niceberg Studios
Niceberg Studios was a Belgian computer-animation and immersive-media production company based in Genk. Founded in 2012, it developed, produced and distributed stereoscopic CGI films for theme parks, science centres, museums and other attraction venues. Its work focused on content designed for motion simulators, 4D and 5D cinemas, dome theatres and location-based virtual reality experiences.
The studio combined animated storytelling with the physical requirements of attraction systems. Productions could be adapted to motion platforms and coordinated with environmental effects, including wind, water, scent and lighting. Alongside creating films, Niceberg licensed and distributed its proprietary attraction catalogue internationally, serving family entertainment centres, aquariums and other venues presenting immersive entertainment.
Attraction films and CGI production
The catalogue covered a range of settings and audiences, from miniature adventures and historical environments to dinosaur encounters, marine stories and flight simulations. Titles included The Great Wall of China, a rocket-powered rickshaw ride film; Toy Ride, also known as Toy Racer; Catacombs of Paris; Meet the Dinos; Little Dolphin; RomeRacer; and Airfighter. These productions were developed for presentation formats in which animated imagery formed part of a wider physical or sensory experience.
Niceberg also offered CGI production for third-party projects. Its capabilities encompassed concept design, art direction, modelling, texturing, rigging, animation, rendering, lighting and compositing. For the 2016 German family feature Robbi, Tobbi und das Fliewatüüt, the studio provided CGI services spanning modelling, texturing, animation, lighting and compositing. Its commercial work also included adapting attraction media for product placement and marketing applications.
Company history
The company entered bankruptcy proceedings in August 2020. The bankruptcy administration concluded in November 2023, and its establishment was deregistered in February 2024. Niceberg Studios is now closed; its former website had become a hosting placeholder by the November 2026 research date.
