Kinetix

Kinetix is an AI research company focused on understanding and generating human motion. The company combines deep expertise in machine learning and 3D to build state-of-the-art generative models and core technologies for character animation. Its research covers human pose estimation, computer vision, and foundational components of 3D character workflows.

Key Technologies

• Kamo-1: A 3D conditioned video generation model that brings physical grounding and precise control to AI video. It supports multimodal conditioning including 3D camera trajectories, 3D character animations reconstructed from RGB acting videos, reference images, and natural language prompts.
• Video-to-animation model: Used to generate 3D animations from video input.

Applications

Kinetix's technologies have been integrated into several platforms:

• Unity Muse: Kinetix's video-to-animation model is natively integrated into Unity's Muse AI services, enabling game developers to generate 3D animations.
• OVERDARE by KRAFTON: The video-to-animation was packaged as an in-game "Emote Creator," allowing players to create custom animations with a moderation system.
• Adobe Mixamo: Kinetix licensed and integrated its 3D animation models and technologies into Adobe Mixamo to allow creators to animate characters with AI.

Key Benefits

• State-of-the-art generative models for character animation
• Physical grounding in AI video generation via Kamo-1
• Integration with major platforms like Unity, KRAFTON, and Adobe
• Multimodal conditioning for video generation
