The Series A was led by FrameLeap Capital and will be used to scale infrastructure and integrate with popular DCC tools. Auric’s models analyze joint hierarchies, proportions, and style tags to produce retargeted clips that preserve timing and intent.

In studio tests, Auric reduced rig retargeting time by up to 70% and improved consistency across character families. The product includes a suite of refinement tools—foot plant correction, motion warping, and stylistic transfer—that let animators tweak results quickly.

Auric plans both cloud and on-prem deployments, and announced a partnerships program for middleware vendors to bundle the tech into existing animation toolchains. The company will open an early-access program to lead studios in July.
