Cartwheel

Description

Cartwheel is a generative motion platform built for production teams working on games, film and TV, advertising, and robotics. It helps animators create, capture, and reshape character motion faster and with more precision using AI models, either directly in its web-based app, Cartwheel Canvas, or through an API for scalable, automated pipelines.

The platform's production-ready models power a full range of capabilities to generate, reshape, and reuse motion, and it is designed to slot into existing pipelines so teams can deliver production-ready work in minutes rather than months. Beyond animation, Cartwheel treats movement as a data structure, letting teams build large motion datasets, targeted LoRAs, and style libraries to train embodied applications across industries.

Cartwheel offers subscription plans for individual creators and teams, with Individual Basic and Individual Pro tiers, plus API access for automation. Each plan includes a monthly credit allotment used to capture and generate motion, and a 7-day free trial is available.

FAQ from Cartwheel

• What is Cartwheel?

  Cartwheel is a generative motion platform that lets teams create, capture, and reshape character motion with AI for videos, games, 3D, film and TV, advertising, and robotics.

• How do I use Cartwheel?

  You can work directly in the web-based Cartwheel Canvas app, or integrate via API for scalable, automated production pipelines.

• How does pricing and credit usage work?

  Plans include access to Cartwheel features and a monthly credit allotment. For most workflows, 1 credit equals 1 second of animation, while more complex tasks like multi-character capture use more. Additional credits can be bought in units of 500 at $0.05 per credit, and a la carte purchases roll over.

• Which plans are available?

  Cartwheel offers an Individual Basic plan for solo creators and an Individual Pro plan that adds more credits, plugin access, and API access for automation and programmatic workflows.

• Is there a free trial?

  Yes. Cartwheel offers a 7-day free trial so you can evaluate whether it meets your creation needs and accelerates your production workflows.

• Who is Cartwheel built for?

  It is built for and with production teams across games, film and TV, advertising, and robotics, from individual creators to collaborating teams and production-scale API users.
