Autodesk, Inc. (NASDAQ:ADSK) is one of the 10 AI Stocks In The Spotlight For Investors. On August 12, the company announced the launch of new, more affordable pricing for Autodesk Flow Studio (formerly Wonder Studio) including its first free tier and a 50% price drop for the Lite plan.

The removal of upfront costs will enable artists to use premium artificial intelligence (AI) powered 3D tools, enabling them to create Hollywood-like animation and VFX. The move comes only a year after Autodesk acquired Wonder Dynamics, the company that created the technology.

Autodesk Flow Studio leverages AI to automate complex VFX tasks like motion capture, camera tracking, and character animation, allowing creators to focus on storytelling instead of technical setup. With only a video clip and few clicks, users are able to insert CG characters into live-action scenes and render them.

The AI-generated assets (e.g. clean plates, 3D scenes, alpha masks, camera-tracks) can also be exported to tools like Maya, Blender, or Unreal Engine for editing and fine tuning, accelerating complex animation and VFX workflows.

“Making Autodesk Flow Studio more accessible to everyone reflects our belief in a creator-first future – where AI empowers more artistic expression, not replaces it. By lowering the cost barrier, more storytellers are now able to explore the ways new AI-powered tools can help them bring their ideas to life, regardless of where they are along their creative journey.”

-Diana Colella, executive vice president of Media & Entertainment at Autodesk.
