Cartwheel is live! Animate 3D characters easier & faster than ever before. Even if you’ve never done it before, give it a try 🤸 We used it to make our launch video

We made a Fortnite Cinematic with Comic 4. Two people. No big crew. No big budget. Comic 4 is the biggest upgrade Cartwheel has ever shipped. We wanted to see what a small team could actually do with it. We had a blast. Check it out! getcartwheel.com/product/com…

I teased a few weeks back that we'd animated a full short. Here it is! We asked our stalwart team of two animators (both industry vets from Pixar et al) if they could animate 3 minutes in 2 weeks with our newest model. They were game! It's cool to see the world move from motion capture to performance capture. Multiple characters, faces, hands, camera tracking are all great ingredients. Turns out it's super useful for robots too 🤖 Anyway, our newest video to motion model - Comic 4 - is finally live and ready to use!

The term "markerless" gets thrown around a lot in motion capture. What does it mean? Well...surprise! There are still markers (we put them on you instead of you getting in a suit) When we capture motion from your videos, we still need to estimate important landmarks, we've just built a way to do it on a web camera instead of a $100k mocap stage. Multi person scale aware with extremely good camera pose estimation. Try it out and let me know what you think

We're getting close......

Ever wanted a mascot for your company? Well, now you can have one 🦜 I'm proud to announce the launch of our latest product: Mascot. Drive your character with video (of yourself, or your ideal spokesperson ;) And it only takes a few minutes for each post. It's live now on @getcartwheel 💥💥

1000 hours of human motion made this happen. Want 10k hrs? 🤸🤸🤸

Just a few months after releasing Scoot, which we feel redefined motion generation quality, our team has made substantial improvements in speed, quality, subtlety, and instruction following. This comes in concert with our newly scaled data collection and labeling efforts, compute increase, substantial architectural improvements, and more stable / scalable training dynamics. Swing is our new flagship movement model. It's live today in Cartwheel studio with infinite batch generation coming soon to our API. Treating Movement as a fundamentally new data type has really unlocked our ability to rapidly make improvements. As it turns out there are far more use cases than you might imagine from entertainment to robotics.

Nice work @ikhandle and @getcartwheel ⛳️

Our new text-to-3D-motion model hot off the GPUs. It’s a major improvement and far more accurate 🤸

New model hot off the GPUs, in testing, has substantially improved expressivity in text-to-motion generation. "alternate arms swinging across your body loosely"

I'm proud that our first professional use case of video to motion is with Dogstar and Emmy award winning director Mark Andrews.

Introducing Cartwheel’s most powerful tool yet: Video-to-Animation! Upload any video and turn it into rigged 3D animation, ready for Maya, Unreal, or Blender. Not a filter. Not a video effect. Real, editable animation you can apply to any character rig getcartwheel.com

Our most powerful tool yet: Video-to-3D animation! We've been teasing this feature for some time now and it's finally ready for you. This isn't just another video generator or meme tool. It's real, editable 3D animation from a single video source — like your phone or a video off social media. You can apply it to any character rigs in your pipeline or use with generative video tools. It's professional quality, fast, free, and most importantly — easy and intuitive! Try it now at: getcartwheel.com Let me know your feedback! #maya #blender #unrealengine #3danimation #animation #AIart

This is a truly modern 3D animation workflow: incredibly fast with complete control 🤸

A little taste of all the amazing motions to come soon to our motion library and generative models 🤸

Cartwheel is live and out of beta! We raised a $10 million seed round. We welcomed senior Pixar animators to the team. And we spoke to @Variety about it! variety.com/2025/artisans/ne…

Another animation made in a one (rainy) day using @getcartwheel! 💥💥

The first 3D motion our prototype generated well was a cartwheel, and that's why we named the company Cartwheel. Thanks @justworks for making this great vignette about our team at @getcartwheel !🤸

Today I got to try out @getcartwheel 's Generative AI text-to-motion for 3D animation. I simply prompted: "Sneaking through a haunted house" and Cartwheel gave me variations of motion, and this is the one I downloaded straight into Unreal. Pretty neat! lnkd.in/gV_Zc_be
