Claythis

Claythis is a generative AI startup that converts 2D images and videos into production-ready 3D characters and animations. Its AI pipeline automates the full workflow from 2D source material through 3D reconstruction, automatic rigging (skeletal structure creation), and motion generation, exporting to industry-standard formats compatible with Unity, Unreal Engine, and Blender. The platform primarily targets small-to-medium game studios, animation houses, and digital content creators who need scalable 3D asset production without manual modeling labor. Founded in 2023 in San Mateo, California, Claythis received early backing from NAVER D2SF, Foundation Capital, and NVIDIA, and is led by CEO Seongho Ahn.
