Comment: Primary sources and routine business reporting (M&A, investment rounds, etc.) do not confer notability per WP:NCORP. That TechCrunch piece might be okay, but it alone isn't enough. DoubleGrazing (talk) 10:01, 13 July 2024 (UTC)There is Deadline, Variety, the portal of MIT. Are you serious? I also added Chicago tribune and the TIME magazine and others. Have you seen the scam sources used for 80% of Wikipedia pages? Along with top in Hollywood beings investors and part of the board? It is also mentioned that the company worked on main film projects for Russo brothers.- Comment: I do not agree with your comments.First of all there is a description of the processes at the company, to explain what is the technology about and how it works. There is nothing promotional there. Also, all the secondary sources are reliable news platforms, main magazines in the tech world and cinema writing about the company. Steven Spielberg is the main investor and advisor. History- cannot be more neutral. Technology- explanation of how it works, there is nothing promotional. Acquisition by Autodesk- is a fact, stating a fact about acquisition. Investors- just a list of names. Famous names is a promo? Impact- the impact it has on the industry. not sure what is wrong with that. you can remove it if you'd like. — Preceding unsigned comment added by J2009j (talk • contribs)

Wonder Dynamics is an American company based in Los Angeles, California that provides software for the visual effects (VFX) and computer graphics (CG) industry.[1][2][3][4][5][6]
History
editWonder Dynamics was founded in 2017 by Nikola Todorovic, a VFX supervisor, and actor Tye Sheridan.[7][8]
In 2024 the company was acquired by Autodesk, a provider of 3D design, engineering, and entertainment software in the US.[9][10][11]
Technology
editThe company's flagship product, Wonder Studio, uses artificial intelligence (AI) to automate labor-intensive processes involved in VFX creation, including character animation, lighting, and composition. Wonder Studio is designed to integrate with software such as Blender, Unreal Engine and Autodesk Maya.
Wonder Studio's AI technology tracks actors' performances from video footage and applies these performances to CG characters. This process aims to eliminate the need for traditional motion capture equipment.[12][13]
Investors
editWonder Dynamics has received financial backing from Epic Games, Samsung Next, Horizon Ventures, Founders Fund, MaC Venture Capital, and directors Steven Spielberg and Joe and Anthony Russo.[14][15][16]
