Autodesk Flow Studio

Cloud-based toolset that rebuilds video footage as editable 3D scenes and composites CG characters into it, with markerless motion capture, 3D character generation and rigging, and exports to Maya, Blender, Unreal and 3ds Max.

What it does

Flow Studio, formerly called Wonder Studio, is a creative workspace for combining AI-generated assets with live-action footage. It can convert video into editable 3D scenes and automatically produce motion capture data, camera tracking, alpha masks, clean plates and character passes. You can generate textured 3D characters from a text prompt or image and rig them automatically, then place and light them in live-action shots. A 3D Editor and Canvas brings AI image and video models together with characters, worlds and camera direction. The site also mentions Nano Banana image models and Trellis 2 for 3D asset generation. Work leaves the app in editable form. Exports go to Maya, Blender, Unreal Engine or 3ds Max through USD, or to 3D printing software. Usage is metered in monthly credits spent per second of processing, and the site lists a free tier alongside Lite, Standard, Pro and Enterprise plans.
