The app also offers a template library for users to choose a 3D scene for their object. If satisfied with the result, users can purchase the video from the app for use elsewhere. AniML, co-founded by Rémi Rousseau and Pierre Pontevia, has raised $2 million in seed funding, led by Adjacent, with participation from AI Grant, Kima Ventures, and several angel investors.
Key takeaways:
- AniML, a French startup, has developed a 3D capture app called Doly that allows users to generate 3D models of products and turn them into professional-looking videos.
- The app works by having the user move their phone camera around the product, capturing still images that are sent to the cloud and turned into a 3D model using a reconstruction pipeline called Gaussian splatting.
- After capturing a 3D model, users can choose a 3D scene for their object from a template library and, if they like the result, they can purchase the video for use elsewhere.
- AniML has raised $2 million in seed funding, with investors including Adjacent, Kima Ventures, and several angel investors, and also participated in the AI Grant startup accelerator.
