LOS ANGELES , March 10, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Uthana, the pioneering generative AI company, today announced the successful closure of a $4.3 million funding round led by IA Ventures, with participation from A16Z Speedrun, Acequia Capital, Cursor Capital, HustleFund, MetaVision, and JonesTrauber. Alongside this funding milestone, Uthana is launching an Open Beta of its platform for 3D character animation, designed to revolutionize the animation and game development industry.
“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. “Generative AI has the potential to transform how animators and game developers work and unlock creativity across the industry.”
Uthana’s Vision
Uthana envisions a future where AI-generated animations dynamically adapt to game play in real time. This means creating living, breathing virtual worlds where every NPC moves uniquely, every interaction feels unscripted, and every animation evolves naturally with player engagement.
Ultimately, Uthana sees possibilities for real time, responsive generative motion stretches beyond gaming— to interactive experiences, virtual production, and simulated environments.
Getting Characters Moving in Seconds
Today, Uthana’s state-of-the-art AI capabilities compress the process of conceiving of an animation and seeing it into minutes – not hours or days – using simple prompts:
Accelerating game development workflows
Purpose built for game developers and animators, Uthana empowers indie and mid-sized studios to compete with AAA game developers. The platform’s unique features include:
Industry Adoption and Strategic Collaboration
Uthana has over 10 design partnerships with studios of all sizes. Partners co-develop new capabilities and have access to advanced features such as Style Transfer (adapt styles from one motion to another for consistency and uniqueness), and APIs (developers can seamlessly integrate Uthana’s AI-powered solutions into their games and applications).
