Viggle Launches PINOC, a 3D Engine Turning One Photo Into an Animatable Gaussian Character in a Minute
HeyAmit_ · x · 2026-09-30
Viggle has launched PINOC, a 3D creative engine for game developers and animators that plugs into Blender, Unreal, Maya, Unity, Cinema 4D, and Houdini pipelines.
Key capabilities:
- Photo to animatable 3D character: generates a rigged Gaussian character from a single image in about a minute — claimed as the world's first animatable Gaussian character solution, skipping modeling, texturing, rigging, and skinning;
- Video to motion capture: extracts clean, pipeline-ready skeletal animation from any footage (phone video, webcam, screen recordings);
- Text to 3D motion: drive animation directly from text;
- Also offers agent integration and an API, alongside its existing Meme Maker tools.
PINOC is positioned as an end-to-end engine for characters, motion, and worlds, with outputs ready for game engines, animation pipelines, or agents.
