Autodesk Adds 'AI Rigging' and 'Neural Layer' to Flow Studio

Autodesk has announced the addition of two new features, 'AI Rigging' and 'Neural Layer', to its AI-powered cloud-based character and video creation platform, Autodesk Flow Studio (formerly Wonder Studio). These tools significantly streamline complex and time-consuming 3D character creation processes. AI Rigging automates the bone and controller setup, allowing 3D models to become animatable characters in minutes. Neural Layer delivers cinematic-quality visual rendering, including realistic skin, hair, and dynamic lighting, without requiring a traditional complex rendering pipeline. The platform allows creators to export assets to Maya, Blender, and Unreal Engine.
