 Artificial Intelligence will Revolutionize CGI Effects


Wonder Studio, a newly released video editing tool, will help close the VFX gap between big-budget blockbusters and low-budget movies. Although the VFX workload is quite demanding and costly, with this tool VFX artists can now easily add CGI effects to their desired scenes in high quality.


Nikola Todorovic and Tye Sheridan, founders of Wonder Dynamics, introduced Wonder Studio, an artificial intelligence-based video editing tool. This tool allows to replace of human characters with CGI animated characters using the drag-and-drop method. Wonder Dynamics has been developing the tool for three years, aiming to save time with the process it has automated using visual artificial intelligence. Thanks to this tool, players do not need to do motion capture. There are currently two options for incorporating CGI effects or characters into a movie: paying actors extra to MoCap or paying VFX artists for time-consuming manual edits. This may not be a problem for big-budget movies, but it is a big problem for low-budget movies. Because these films do not have sufficient budgets and have time constraints. But with Wonder Studio, players don't need to MoCap, or VFX artists need to do time-consuming manual edits. Wonder Studio, which is still in beta, has been used by famous action directors Russo Brothers for a new Netflix movie starring Millie Bobby Brown and Chris Pratt. Tye Sheridan says that in addition to the free version of his tools, there will also be a paid version that offers more advanced features. They also want to work directly with their VFX house to create their workflow and improve the process. Such a tool is expected to play an important role in computer effects in cinema, making the job of VFX artists easier.
