What is Bake3D?

Short answer
Bake3D is a web app that turns one picture or a short description into a textured 3D character with a skeleton, then makes it move the way you describe in words. It works for animals, creatures, robots, people, vehicles and objects, and it exports files for Blender, Unity, Unreal and Godot.
In more detail
You upload a drawing, a render or a photo, or you type a description. Bake3D builds a textured 3D model. Then it plans a skeleton for that model's own body, so a fox gets four legs and a tail, and a robot gets the joints it really has. Each joint gets a job name, like head, tail or left front leg.
To make it move, you pick a ready motion such as a walk, or you type what it should do, like "shakes off water". The engine writes that motion for that body. Then you download a GLB or FBX file for your game or app, or an STL of a pose to print.
Bake3D is made by Bake3D Inc., a company registered in Delaware, United States. Its engine is called bake3d-1.3-enhanced.
It has limits. It cannot rig a model you made somewhere else. Faces have no smile or blink controls yet. One picture shows one side, so the back of the model is a good guess, not a copy. You can see for yourself before you pay: the demo and a check of your own picture are free.
