Uthana Animate
Uthana Animate retargets a character motion onto the mesh you provide, exported as an animated GLB. Attach a trained motion reference set to reuse the same motion across characters, or generate a fresh one from a text prompt or a reference video.

Connect Claude, Cursor, VS Code, or Codex to Layer’s MCP server and Uthana Animate becomes a tool your agent can reach for — it picks the parameters, runs the generation, and shows you the result in the conversation.

Why use Uthana Animate for 3D?
High-quality 3D generation
Uthana Animate produces clean geometry, accurate proportions, and detailed surfaces suitable for game-ready assets and prototyping.
Engine-ready output
Exports in standard formats compatible with Unity, Unreal Engine, and Blender. PBR materials and clean topology where supported.
Rapid prototyping
Go from concept to 3D asset in minutes. Ideal for early-stage exploration, shop items, and LiveOps content.
Rapid 3D asset prototyping for game development
Go from concept image to 3D model in minutes. Ideal for evaluating designs, testing in-engine, and building asset libraries.
Shop items and cosmetic content for LiveOps
Generate 3D items, weapons, and cosmetics for live service updates. Keep your content pipeline flowing without bottlenecks.
Marketing renders and promotional 3D content
Create polished 3D renders for store listings, social media, and ad creatives without heavy production overhead.
FAQ
How much does Uthana Animate cost? Is it free?+
How does Layer's pricing work?+
There are no seat fees, feature gates, or plans on Layer. Instead, our platform uses a consumption based system with Creative Units (CUs) with a flexible monthly subscription. Every generation on Layer (image, video, 3D, or audio) consumes a Creative Unit, and you only pay for what you create.
