Kinetix Tech

Kinetix Tech (kinetix.tech) is an AI research and 3D character animation technology company. Combining computer vision, geometric machine learning, and human pose estimation, Kinetix develops foundational models for generating physically grounded 3D human motion and character animations directly from RGB video, camera trajectories, and text prompts. The platform provides developer SDKs/APIs, mesh-aware auto-retargeting, and in-game User-Generated Content (UGC) emote creators integrated into major game ecosystems and tools—including Unity Muse, Adobe Mixamo, and KRAFTON’s OVERDARE.

Traditional character animation pipelines—such as optical motion capture (MoCap) and manual keyframing—are resource-intensive, slow, and difficult to retarget dynamically across diverse skeletal rigs. Kinetix solves this by developing foundation models for 3D motion intelligence that translate standard 2D video into production-ready 3D skeletal data with automatic contact resolution.

Key Capabilities and Industry Deployments

  • Video-to-3D Skeletal Animation: Translates standard smartphone or RGB camera recordings into clean 3D skeletal motion data without requiring physical MoCap suits or multi-camera setups.

  • Mesh-Aware Contact Resolution: Solves common algorithmic animation artifacts—such as foot sliding, unnatural floor penetration, and joint popping—producing realistic physics-grounded locomotion.

  • Ecosystem Integrations & Partnerships:

    • Unity Muse: Powers native video-to-animation generative features within the Unity Muse game engine environment.

    • Adobe Mixamo: Integrates machine learning models into Mixamo to enhance automated character rigging and motion generation.

    • KRAFTON OVERDARE: Deployed as an in-game “Emote Creator” enabling players to record real-world moves and animate their digital avatars with integrated automated safety moderation.

       

  • In-Game UGC Monetization: Offers game studios drop-in SDKs to monetize user-generated emotes, social animations, and avatar dances directly within social games and virtual worlds.
