"Bringing Wonder Dynamics into the Autodesk Media & Entertainment portfolio extends our history of empowering artists with innovative and accessible solutions that break down barriers to entry," said Diana Colella, Executive Vice President of Media & Entertainment at Autodesk. "In the 1990s, we helped artists learn how to use computers to create 3D graphics leading to the industry we see today, and Wonder Dynamics is our next step on that journey. By embracing emerging technology, we want to help teams and creators of all sizes and skill levels create more content, more easily, so everyone has the power to bring their inspiring stories to life."

Autodesk媒体与娱乐执行副总裁戴安娜·科莱拉表示:“将Wonder Dynamics纳入Autodesk媒体与娱乐产品组合可以延续我们为艺术家提供可打破准入壁垒的创新且易于使用的解决方案的历史。”“在 20 世纪 90 年代,我们帮助艺术家学习如何使用计算机创作 3D 图形,这为我们今天的行业铺平了道路,而 Wonder Dynamics 是我们在这一旅程中的下一步。通过采用新兴技术,我们希望帮助各种规模和技能水平的团队和创作者更轻松地创作更多内容,这样每个人都有能力将他们的鼓舞人心的故事变为现实。”

Wonder Dynamics makes the visual effects process more accessible and affordable by developing AI and machine learning tools that allow filmmakers to produce VFX and CGI elements faster and at a significantly lower price point. Wonder Studio currently offers a plug-in that connects with professional 3D tools such as Autodesk Maya and Blender to deliver streamlined high-quality character workflows. The acquisition of Wonder Dynamics is another strategic step toward supporting Autodesk's long-term mission to unbridle creativity by connecting teams, data and processes with Flow, the Media & Entertainment industry cloud on Autodesk's Design and Make platform.

"Today marks a major moment in Wonder Dynamics' journey as we join forces with Autodesk," said Nikola Todorovic, Co-Founder and CEO of Wonder Dynamics. "The current misconception is that AI is a one-click solution, and that's why we are excited to join a company that, at its core, supports the iterative nature of 3D and storytelling. We put a lot of effort into building an AI tool that does not replace artists, but rather speeds up creative workflows, makes things more efficient, and helps productions save costs. We firmly believe that our alignment with Autodesk will only amplify that vision and further push the boundaries of ethical AI and emerging technology in Media & Entertainment."

Wonder Dynamics联合创始人兼首席执行官尼古拉·托多罗维奇表示:“今天是Wonder Dynamics与Autodesk联手旅程中的一个重要时刻。”“目前的误解是,人工智能是一种一键式解决方案,这就是为什么我们很高兴加入一家以支持3D和叙事迭代为核心的公司。我们投入了大量精力来构建一款人工智能工具,它不能取代艺术家,而是加快创作工作流程,提高工作效率,帮助制作节省成本。我们坚信,我们与Autodesk的合作只会放大这一愿景,并进一步突破媒体和娱乐领域合乎道德的人工智能和新兴技术的界限。”

"As an artist myself, I'm extremely grateful to make movies for a living, and we've always wanted to help other artists realize the same dream – regardless of their location, social status, or budget," said Tye Sheridan, Co-Founder and President of Wonder Dynamics. "With Autodesk's support and commitment to innovation, we now have the perfect partnership to continue this mission and redefine the narrative of what's achievable in the realm of storytelling."
