|content=Uthana has secured $4.3 million in funding to merge 3D character animation with generative AI. This funding round was led by IA Ventures, with additional support from A16Z Speedrun, Acequia Capital, Cursor Capital, HustleFund, MetaVision, and JonesTrauber.

To celebrate this milestone, Uthana is launching an open beta of its "groundbreaking platform for 3D character animation, designed to revolutionize the animation and game development industry." The company claims that its technology will eliminate the need for pre-set animation loops or labor-intensive rigging, allowing game developers to create motion that seamlessly adapts to environments, story progression, and user behavior.

Uthana's advanced AI can produce animations in "minutes – not hours or days," using simple prompts like text-to-motion, video-to-motion, or through its motion library, which includes over 10,000 motions that can be accessed using natural language queries.

"Our mission is to 'beat a visual Turing test' for human motion, creating truly lifelike animations," said Viren Tellis, co-founder and CEO of Uthana.
