Frequently asked questions (FAQs)

What is Autodesk Flow Studio?

Autodesk Flow Studio (formerly Wonder Studio) is an innovative browser-based platform that leverages cutting-edge AI technology to transform the creation of visual effects, providing body and facial animation, lighting, and camera tracking data that works with your content creation tool of choice.

What is the difference between live action and AI mocap?

Live action generates motion capture data along with rendered elements (such as lighting, clean plates, alpha masks, and compositing), and takes more resources to process. Since AI mocap generates only the motion capture data and does not render your VFX shot, it uses fewer processing resources. Live action animates, lights and composes your CG characters into a live-action scene, while AI mocap only generates the motion capture data of the body and hand performance.

What tools does Autodesk Flow Studio integrate with?

Autodesk Flow Studio is integrated with Maya, Blender, and Unreal Engine.

How does Autodesk Flow Studio work?

Autodesk Flow Studio (formerly Wonder Studio) enables you to turn footage into live-action animated films, commercials, music, and more.

  • AI-powered mocap: Replace live actors with 3D characters and seamlessly capture facial, body, and hand movements with Autodesk Flow Studio's AI mocap technology. Get complete motion capture data for your project in USD or FBX formats, with advanced character bone retargeting and export-ready animations.
  • Camera tracking: Gain ultimate flexibility for precise character placement and movement control with the Camera Track Tool. Match movements of a virtual camera to real-life scenes for realistic alignment and motion and detect the planes within your scene using Point Cloud.
  • Individual element export: Export selected project elements enabled during Render Setup. From Clean Plate, to Camera Track, and Alpha Masks, customize and download your desired outputs to see exactly what you need for the creative task at hand.
