Autodesk Flow Studio is a web browser-based, AI-powered VFX platform that democratizes cinematic storytelling for every creator. Autodesk built and acquired Wonder Dynamics' Wonder Studio in March 2025, and it currently operates under the Autodesk Flow umbrella. Flow Studio eliminates the technical barriers that have deterred creators for decades—no motion-capture suits, no green screens, no complex staging; simply upload your live-action footage, and Flow Studio will process it using markerless motion capture, video-to-3D reconstruction, camera tracking, and clean-plate generation. The finished content will be a fully editable CG scene, including character passes, alpha masks, and mocap data, in formats like USD, FBX, or directly into Maya, Blender, Unreal, or even 3ds Max. Flow Studio has a simple and engaging interface to efficiently teach filmmakers, educators, and small studios, and affordable pricing has a free tier that was introduced in August 2025. Ultimately, Flow Studio has created a VFX tool that is committed to limiting distractions from the creative process while eliminating the technical obstacles that slow down the process of learning, prototyping, or production. The tool speeds up creative workflows while keeping artists in control, ensuring every frame can be refined to satisfy the final vision.
