Autodesk Media & Entertainment
If you’re studying or teaching animation, VFX, game development, or even marketing and advertising, you know that the right tools can make all the difference—shaping how you experiment, learn, and build confidence in your skills. Making these tools accessible sparks more creativity and more voices in the world of storytelling.
That’s why we’re excited to make Autodesk Flow Studio—our AI-powered tool for animation, VFX, and storytelling—free for eligible students (18+) and educators worldwide.
Whether you’re creating an animated short, designing a game level, producing a VFX scene, or developing a marketing video project, Flow Studio gives you hands-on access to AI-powered tools, letting you learn, experiment, and build your portfolio—all without expensive gear or complicated setups.
What’s Included?
Students and educators can get one year of free access to all features in Flow Studio’s Lite tier. You’ll have AI-powered motion capture and USD scene export (normally unavailable in the standard Lite tier), automated export elements like camera tracking, clean plates, and alpha masks – ready to refine in Maya, 3ds Max (via USD), or your tool of choice.
Who Can Access It?
This education plan is open to students 18+ at accredited institutions, educators and curriculum designers, and school IT administrators supporting Media & Entertainment programs. Plus, access can be renewed each year as long as you remain eligible.
