Overview
Autodesk Flow Studio is a cloud-based AI 3D toolset that converts live-action footage into editable CG scenes. It generates motion capture, tracked cameras, alpha masks, clean plates and character passes to streamline VFX and animation workflows for studios and solo creators.

Functionality
Flow Studio automatically extracts essential elements from footage to produce editable outputs. The system provides markerless motion capture data, camera solves, matte masks and background plates, enabling artists to light, animate and composite CG characters into live-action shots.

Key capabilities

• 3D generation & auto-rigging — create textured 3D characters from images or text and auto-rig for animation.
• Neural Layer — AI-driven rendering and look development for cinematic results.
• Expanded AI models — unified generation of images and 3D assets within one workflow.
• AI motion capture — markerless capture of face, body and hands with improved grounding for natural 3D motion.
• Live-action to CG — editable outputs to integrate animated CG into live footage.
• Flexible exports — export mocap, camera tracking, clean plates, masks and character passes via USD for downstream tools.

Workflow & integration
Cloud processing converts video inputs into assets designed for common 3D and game-engine pipelines. Outputs are prepared for import via USD and integrate with Maya, Blender, Unreal Engine and 3ds Max, or can be used in 3D printing and rendering workflows.

Credits & plans (summary)
Processing is credit-based and tied to subscription tiers. Monthly credits are allocated per plan; different processes consume credits per second. A free tier is available for evaluation; paid plans offer higher monthly or multi-year allocations and expanded support.

Community & learning
Flow Studio provides documentation, tutorials, example projects and community forums to help artists and VFX teams adopt workflows and share best practices.
