Autodesk Introduces AI Video-to-3D Scene Solution Wonder Animation
Wonder Dynamics, an Autodesk company, launched the beta version of Wonder Animation, which uses groundbreaking Video to 3D scene technology to accelerate animated film production by turning any video sequence into a 3D-animated scene.
Part of the Wonder Studio toolset, Wonder Animation’s Video to 3D scene technology can film and edit sequences with multiple cuts and various shots, then uses AI to reconstruct the scene in a 3D space.
Wonder Animation’s beta launch, now available to all Wonder Studio users, aims to bring artists closer to producing fully animated films, while enabling the artist to retain full creative control – unlike other generative AI tools that rely on automated outputs.
Wonder Dynamics is excited to announce the beta launch of Wonder Studio’s newest feature: Wonder Animation, which is powered by groundbreaking Video to 3D scene technology that enables artists to shoot a scene with any camera, in any location, and turn the sequence into an animated scene with CG characters in a 3D environment.
It’s been five months sinceWonder Dynamics joined Autodesk, and the time spent has only reinforced that the foundational Wonder Dynamics vision aligns perfectly with Autodesk’s longstanding commitment to advancing the Media & Entertainment industry through innovation. Together, we believe in using artificial intelligence (AI) more intentionally to enhance creativity and efficiency, so artists can spend more time on the creative aspects of storytelling. We formed Wonder Dynamics and developed Wonder Studio (our cloud-based 3D animation and VFX solution) out of our passion for storytelling coupled with our commitment to make VFX work accessible to more creators and filmmakers.
“The most innovative part of Wonder Animation’s ‘Video to 3D Scene’ technology is its ability to film and edit sequences with multiple cuts and various shots (wide, medium, close-ups). The technology then uses AI to reconstruct the scene in a 3D space and matches the position and movement of each camera’s relationship to the characters and environment,”Nikola Todorovic, Co-Founder of Wonder Dynamics explains in the post.
“This essentially creates a virtual representation of an artist’s live-action scene containing all camera setups and character body and face animation in one 3D scene, with fully editable elements (animation, character, environment, lighting and camera tracking data) in their preferred software, such as Maya, Blender or Unreal.”

To response to concerns about the impact of generative AI on artists’ jobs within the animation community, Todorovic asserts:
“Even though there have been tremendous advancements in AI, there is a current misconception that AI is a one click solution — but we know that’s not the case. Wonder Animation underscores our focus on bringing the artist one step closer to producing fully animated films while ensuring they retain full creative control. Unlike the black-box approach of most generative AI tools currently on the market, we’re empowering artists to shape their vision instead of just relying on automated outputs.”
