Wonder Dynamics uses AI to place CG characters into live-action video, automatically swapping an actor’s performance onto an animated character. It compresses steps that normally demand extensive manual VFX work.

What it does

Working from footage shot on a single camera, Wonder Dynamics maps an actor’s performance onto a CG character and handles much of the animation, lighting and compositing automatically. It can also output separate elements so artists can take the result further in their own tools. The effect is a far quicker path from a filmed performance to a character-driven shot.

Who it’s for

The tool is aimed at filmmakers, VFX artists and studios who want to bring CG characters into live action without a full manual pipeline for every shot. As a paid, production-focused tool, it suits professional work, and current pricing and any trial are on the website. Especially complex shots may still need manual cleanup, so it accelerates VFX rather than replacing it entirely.
