Uthana

Full Description

Uthana is a generative AI platform for 3D character animation, founded in 2022 by Viren and Kethan Tellis. The company specializes in creating foundation models for human motion that enable realistic, production-ready animations without extensive manual keyframing or motion capture equipment. Core capabilities include Text-to-Motion (TTM) for generating animations from natural language descriptions, Video-to-Motion (VTM) for applying reference video movements to 3D characters, and a Motion Library with over 10,000 searchable motions including finger data. The platform is rig-agnostic and integrates seamlessly with Unreal Engine, Unity, Maya, and Blender. Purpose-built for game developers and animators, Uthana empowers indie and mid-sized studios to compete with AAA developers by compressing animation workflows from hours into minutes. Backed by $4.9M in Series A funding from IA Ventures, Andreessen Horowitz, and others.
