About Tool

Wonder Dynamics unlocks high-end visual effects by letting creators replace real actors with computer-generated characters using only raw video footage. Its browser-based tool, Wonder Studio (now also known as Autodesk Flow Studio), automates complex tasks such as tracking, animation, lighting, and compositing. It streamlines VFX workflows by generating mocap data, alpha masks, clean plates, and animated character scenes—all optimized for editing in tools like Maya, Blender, or Unreal Engine.
