Introducing Cartwheel - 3d animation AI for everyone
Introduction
You have probably watched cartons and other films made from 3D animated characters. They are not just loved by kids, almost everyone enjoys looking at those motions and actions by non-living characters. Animating a 3D object to perform a specific function such as jump up is a really complex and time-consuming activity. Most times, it involves a team of professional animators that pour in hours of work. Its laborious. Today AI is changing everything which is why I want to introduce Cartwheel, an AI project that makes 3D animation simple.
With Cartwheel, everyone could become an animator because it takes a few text prompts to create a character that moves and performs specific tasks. In this presentation, we will explore how to use Cartwheel and why it is such a handy tool for animators - indeed for everyone. Before we start, note that Cartwheel is yet to be fully launched. But you are free to join the subscription list ahead of launching date.
What is CartWheel - who needs it?
CartWheel is an AI-powered animation platform that makes it easy to create complex characters from simple text prompts. Instead of a complex 3D animation software to animate from scratch, Cartwheel simply provides a box where users could describe the type or nature of animation they want and the language model does the rest. Within few seconds and after few lines of text, an animated character is built and ready to go into production.
CartWheel reduces the time it takes for projects to start and complete because not everything would be done from scratch. It also reduces the cost that would have been incurred for hiring an animator team and getting them to do a complex project from scratch. Besides, CartWheel also opens up the way for everyone to be able to do animation without needing to be a tech guru. Animation software and hardware are expensive to purchase master and time-consuming to use. But with CartWheel, there will be no need for anyone to invest heavily in computer hardware. Just a mobile device or computer is all that is needed to create stunning 3D animations with CartWheel.
What projects could be created with CartWheel?
3D Movies
It is easy to create an entire carton character movies with CartWheel. Just master the text prompts and properly describe when the character and scene would look like. CartWheel does the rest. Being attentive to details such as color, angle of camera and animation sequence would help the program to create exactly what the user wants.
It is possible to start a carton channel which would be monetized off CartWheel. It could be a kids carton channel or adult character movies. All would be possible with CartWheel. Interestingly, 3D animations done with CartWheel are compatible with industry-standard 3D animation software like Cinema 4d, Blender, or 3DS Max. It simply means that after creating a project with CartWheel, a user could import them to any of these standard software for more editing and finetuning.
3D games
Game developers are another set of people that work with 3D characters. The Web3 gaming industry is currently booming with many new projects launching in the space. A web3 gaming project could reduce their project run-time by deploying initially in CartWheel. This would also cut the number of professional 3D animators that would be hired for the project. Most inmportant, it will take a fraction of the original cost of parts of a 3D gaming project are developed with CartWheel.
Interesting again, Cartwheel developed 3D are compatible with 3D development engines such as Unity and Godot. So a project can start off with CartWheel and at any point in time choose to import the project back to a preferred gaming engine for further work.
Commercials
Companies now run animated ads from time to time. There would be no need to hire professional developers for that. There would be no need for a hefty budget too. CartWheel has all that is required for any team to put up 3D animated Ads that could be used to promote a brand. Below is what CartWheel has to say about this.
Now you can have gorgeous 3D character animation in your ads without spending a fortune. Animate your spokesperson or mascot. Background characters are a breeze. Crowds too. source
Other uses
CartWheel could be used in a lot of other ways to create projects that are attractive, and engaging. For example, social media content could be enhanced with 3D animated characters made with CartWheel. Sponsored content which is designed for a large audience could be enhanced with some 3D visuals. CarWheel could be used to make all purpose 3D animations such as those used for academic projects, corporate presentations, AR and VR uses, and many other applications.
Conclusion
Whether it is for fun, or business or other uses, CartWheel is the next valuable use of AI technology in making work easier. Projects can deploy in less time with the use of this tool. And everyone can now be an animator by any device by just creating a few line of text. You might want to check out this project. Test is below, follow the link.

Impressive, AI dominating the business world once again. Cartwheel is a great tool from your description and points on it's relevance, I'm just curious do you have to make your own character or are there free to use characters to make an ad not really a show.
The project is owned by a 3D animator with years of experience in the field. They mentioned that all the characters are premium and free to use. So you do not have to own your characters. Just the prompts and you are good to go.
Thanks a lot that's very informative.
Happy to share.
Hahahahah hahahahah Ai is really taking over everything, like this is so interesting, am studying the link very because I really want to see things for myself.
Its really interesting. I hope it worked fine in your device.
Wow bro.... For real it's awesome to see how AI is revolutionizing animation. Cartwheel looks like a game-changer. I'm very excited by the idea of using pre-made characters for ads. Great insights man.. With AI things are going to get very advanced in the next 5 years.. Nvidia is releasing more advanced chips and cooler things can be done soon 😍😍😍
Yes this is a revolution of the 3D animation sector. Its no longer strictly for professionals. AI is not making it easy with this project for anyone to create 3D animations. For projects that need this for any form of marketing, it will cut down project runtime and cost. And with advanced chips like you mentioned, the possibilities for AI would be endless in no distant time.
Do you think AI would be a threat to humans in the area of work. Will AI take over our jobs soonest?
I fear that could happen because most of the private giant organizations are very profit oriented and if they notice using AI will be cost effective, that could be a case. However I'm also thinking of the world of possibilities AI will bring, give people the chance to create new types of work 🤔 pretty hard to decide right now
Looks like an amazing delivery. I haven't contemplated animation.
