Level-up your coursework and portfolio. Tell your story faster and explore bigger ideas without expensive setups or a full production team. Build real-world 3D animation, CG, and VFX skills while plugging into the industry tools you already use.
Flow Studio for education is free for eligible university students (18+).
Autodesk Flow Studio (formerly Wonder Studio) is a cloud-based, AI-powered 3D toolset that turns live-action footage into editable CG scenes — without complex setup. With Flow Studio for education, you can explore animation and VFX workflows to create short projects, rapidly iterate, and learn how modern productions work.
Use video to block CG character shots, explore camera angles and timing, and visualize scene ideas early.
Experiment with short shots, try multiple versions, and refine ideas without booking lab time or specialized hardware.
Export animation and scene data to continue polishing in Maya, Blender, Unreal Engine, and USD-based pipelines.
Automatically generate motion capture from your video, then export the animation data into your tool of choice to refine timing and movement.
Place CG characters into live-action footage to test placement and performance. Ideal for previs, shot blocking, and early storytelling decisions.
Turn short videos with multiple shots into a 3D-animated scene - AI reconstructs cameras, characters, and environments in space.
Export exactly what you need - mocap data, camera tracking, clean plate, character passes, 3D scenes and more - to refine in tools like Maya, Unreal Engine, Blender, or USD-based workflows.
Easily render your results in the cloud - fast, automated, and scalable with support for multiple projects at once.
Turn a simple text prompt or reference image into a fully textured 3D character or prop. Generate editable 3D models that you can bring into 3D tools like Maya, Blender, or Unreal, and even 3D printing software.
