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

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/…

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

GM Let the #Bullrun2025 begin! 🤘 🔊sound on

👋 Maya users! Improved exporting from Cartwheel is here. We recently pushed an improved Maya IK download format, resolving any flipped or reverse joints. Your rigging process just got a whole lot smoother! 🙌

Dear friends, I’m deeply excited to announce the world’s first Museum of AI Arts — Dataland , opening in Los Angeles, California, right next to some of the city’s iconic arts institutions such as WDCH, MOCA and The Broad. Designed by my hero Frank Gehry, The Grand LA will be the home of our most ambitious and exciting dream. My co-founder Efsun Erkılıç our team, and I have been working very hard and cannot wait to host you at our institution next year. We are building something never seen before and putting our hearts and minds on for the last two years. We are deeply grateful for all our partners and collaborators! Please read the very first article on LA Times! Link in bio! More coming soon! Thank you :)

Spent the last day playing around with @runwayml's new video-to-video tool ✨ It's pretty cool on it's own and in combination with other tools. The first clip here is @ViggleAI, the second is @getcartwheel, and the last two are my camera roll.

Video to Video has FINALLY been revamped by @runwayml as part of their Gen 3 Model. With the right piece of stock footage, shooting yourself with some simple props, and the right prompts, complete creative freedom is yours.
