Uthana

Uthana — Generative AI for 3D Character Animation

Uthana is an AI-powered platform that lets you generate motion for 3D characters and apply it across various models and engines. Create animations from simple prompts, upload reference videos, or search a library of 10,000+ motions. It supports IK retargeting to work with any rig and outputs compatible formats for Maya, Blender, Unreal, and Unity. The service emphasizes rapid iteration, flexible playback control, and integration into existing pipelines.

How it works

1. Describe a movement with a prompt to generate realistic character motion.
2. Upload a reference video to animate your character in seconds.
3. Search the motion library to find exact movements you need.
4. Apply to any model using proprietary inverse kinematic (IK) retargeting that supports any rig, regardless of size or skeleton hierarchy.
5. Adjust playback and bones with sliders, tweak rotations, and clip or merge motions as needed.
6. Export and integrate with your workflow in formats suitable for Maya, Blender, Unreal, or Unity.
