AI has been the driving force behind many of the latest new tools in creative software, as well as now ubiquitous AI image generators. But there’s been criticism among artists of the search for simple one-click solutions. Wonder Dynamics, now owned by Autodesk, says it adopted a different vision for a game-changing new tool that can turn video into a 3D scene.
Launched today in beta, Wonder Animation is a new tool for the company’s existing CG character animation software Wonder Studio. It’s intended to allow artists to shoot a scene with any camera, in any location, and then turn the sequence into an animated scene with CG characters in a 3D environment.
