Try Linel ↗
text → motion
The stick man with skills. Describe an action in plain English, and Linel performs it as a 3D human animation — right in your browser.
"a boxer throwing a jab", "someone sitting down to tie their shoe", "a slow victory dance". Type it, watch it move.

Motion is the slowest, fiddliest part of bringing a character to life. Linel is a bet that you should be able to type what you want and see it move — a first, rough take generated from a sentence, in seconds, instead of hand-keying every frame or hunting for a mocap clip.
How it works
Type an action in plain English — "waving hello", "a nervous pace back and forth".
A text-to-motion model turns your words into a 3D skeletal animation.
It plays back in the browser (three.js). Tweak the words, run it again.
Who it's for
Block out a character action from a prompt to feel the timing before you commit an animator's hours to it.
Generate quick motion reference and rough blocking to react to, instead of starting from a blank timeline.
No brief, no deadline — type something daft and watch the little figure attempt it. That's a valid use too.
It's a beta — come kick the tyres
Linel is early and public on purpose. It won't nail every prompt yet — that's the point of a beta. Every action you try, and every one that comes out wrong, tells us where to push it next. Try the weird ones. If a movement you'd expect it to know comes out rough, that's exactly the feedback worth having.
