Kinetix

Kinetix is an AI research company pioneering frontier 3D and human motion intelligence, combining deep expertise in machine learning and 3D to build state-of-the-art generative models and core technologies for character animation. The company's research focuses on human pose estimation, computer vision, and foundational components of 3D character workflows. Kinetix has developed Kamo-1, a 3D-conditioned video generation model that brings physical grounding and precise control into AI video, supporting multimodal conditioning including 3D camera trajectories, 3D character animations reconstructed from RGB acting videos, reference images, and natural language prompts. The company's video-to-animation model has been natively integrated into Unity's Muse AI services for game developers, packaged as an in-game Emote Creator in OVERDARE by KRAFTON, and licensed and integrated into Adobe Mixamo for AI-powered character animation. Over the past five years, Kinetix has built foundational models for 3D human animation that learn the structure, rhythm, and emotion of movement in three dimensions. Founded in 2020 and headquartered in Paris, France, the company has raised approximately $11.6M in seed funding from investors including Entrepreneur First, Founders Future, The Sandbox, ZEPETO, Animoca Brands, Sparkle Ventures, Kima Ventures, and AA Sons. Kinetix differentiates itself through its 3D-conditioned video generation model that enables coordinated control over camera motion and character motion, powering character animation for Unity, KRAFTON, and Adobe.
