How are studios using Autodesk AI today?
Projects like Phantom Sky, a 90-second short, would traditionally take months for a team of artists to complete. With MotionMaker in Maya, Eddie Chew (founder of Griffin Animation Studios) brought multiple characters to life in just six weeks. That shift gave him more time to focus on what matters most: performance, polish, and storytelling. MotionMaker creates a new balance between efficiency and creativity, making it possible to take on more ambitious client projects without sacrificing detail.

Autodesk Flame includes a growing list of AI-powered features to reduce manual effort and increase overall efficiency in visual effects and finishing. Current features include:
Camera Analysis: Generates 3D point clouds from 2D camera sequences to position objects in a scene, apply masks, and color grade.
Human Body Semantic Keyer: Isolates the human body in a moving video and extracts a matte for compositing purposes.
Human Face Semantic Keyer: Detects and automatically isolates various parts of the human face, isolates the human head in a moving video, and extracts a matte for compositing purposes.
ML Depth: Analyzes an image and computes a depth data pass to ease workflows, such as matte isolation for color grading based on camera depth.
ML Morph: Solves tricky jump cut edits by morphing frames together or blending effects.
ML Timewarp: Automatically creates additional frames for slow-motion shots.
ML Upscale: Augments the resolution and quality of video sequences for archive restoration, pan and scan, and content delivery.
Salient Keyer: Detects an object within a bounding box in a moving video and extracts a matte for compositing purposes.
Sky Extraction Keyer: Detects and automatically isolates skies in a moving video and extracts a matte for compositing purposes.
