THE WONDER LEAGUE: Where Technology and Talent Unite
FuturistoGraphy Glimpse 👀️
Finally, I got a time to experiment with Wonder Studio! Having started my compositing journey a long, long time ago with systems like "Quantel Henry" and "Discreet Inferno (Autodesk Flame)", I've seen the industry evolve from million-dollar systems and refrigerator-sized CPUs to today's powerful, compact GPUs, and now web-based solutions.
Wonder Studio caught my eye with its online, machine learning-driven approach to visual effects. To test the platform's capabilities, I used two complex shots that posed unique challenges. Shot 1 involved multiple actors, foreground objects, a slightly panning camera, and a busy background, while Shot 2 featured fast-moving, overlapping actors with a camera tracking their movements.
The results, although not perfect, were impressive, particularly the accurate 3D tracking data generated from 2D footage without any markers. I refined the shots using the exported elements; however, the upcoming camera data and character pass export features should make these adjustments even simpler.
While there is room for improvement, my overall experience with Wonder Studio was enjoyable. I am very impressed by its tracking capabilities and foresee it becoming an invaluable tool for artists. As a closed beta user, I eagerly await the final version and will continue exploring the platform!
