Zirconium oxide ceramic, also known as zirconia ceramic, is a high-performance material that offers exceptional hardness, strength, and wear resistance. It is made from zirconium dioxide (ZrO2), a highly refractory material that is extremely resistant to heat and corrosion. Zirconia ceramic parts are widely used in a variety of industrial applications, including aerospace, automotive, medical, and electronics.

The demand for high-quality content has never been greater, and as productions become more ambitious, managing data, workflows, and teams has grown increasingly complex. Thousands of artists collaborate across multiple departments and studios to bring these massive projects to life. Each project involves countless shots and assets, along with hundreds of scenes, making coordination a daunting task. These collaborators rely on a variety of tools, which store data in different formats and locations, ultimately fragmenting workflows and hindering creativity.
However, the industry is on the cusp of a significant transformation. To address these challenges, we're integrating every stage of production, unifying people, data, and workflows to unlock new possibilities for innovation and creativity. At AU, I’ll be sharing how we're leveraging Autodesk Flow, Autodesk's industry cloud for Media & Entertainment (M&E), to build a more connected, creative, and resilient future.
Flow accelerates the development of connected workflows by placing data—not files—at the heart of collaboration. Built with open APIs, its cloud data model structures all the data generated and used throughout the production pipeline. This allows you to capture, reuse, and track data, serving as the single source of truth for all assets, versions, and feedback in a production. From individual artists to entire departments and studios, everyone can work simultaneously without waiting for others to finish their tasks.
A short film created entirely within Autodesk Flow beautifully illustrates this. It tells the touching story of a girl and her robot, showcasing the platform's capabilities in a creative yet practical way. The film serves as a testament to how Flow can streamline workflows while fostering innovation.
With the introduction of Flow Capture (formerly Moxion) and Flow Production Tracking (formerly ShotGrid), we're bridging on-set and post-production data with the broader M&E data model. This integration ensures seamless asset management from the camera to post-production. Enabled by open standards, Flow will soon allow our existing tools, such as Maya, and third-party tools from SideFX, Avid, and The Foundry to connect into an open ecosystem. Artists will no longer need to search for files since they'll have instant access to everything they need, including storyboards and production data, directly within the tools they use daily.
Over time, we aim to unify the entire production pipeline, creating workflows that span post-production and all other stages of production. Flow will provide real-time access to production data, strengthening the connections between different phases of production and boosting overall efficiency. Our work with companies like Electronic Arts highlights how Flow can enhance game production workflows, helping manage numerous assets, stakeholders, and complexities.
AI-powered solutions are at the forefront of this transformation. By leveraging data in a connected environment, we have unprecedented opportunities to use AI for automation and productivity gains. For instance, consider scheduling, a process historically managed manually and prone to errors. With AI-powered Generative Scheduling on Flow, we can automate this process, reducing the time needed from days to mere minutes. Predictive planning becomes possible, allowing for better resource allocation and creative bandwidth optimization. Last-minute changes are easier to handle, impacting not just one production but an entire studio's portfolio.
We're also teaming up with Wonder Dynamics to automate creative workflows using AI. This collaboration focuses on automatically animating, lighting, and composing CG characters in live-action scenes. Through a new Maya plug-in, Maya users can effortlessly export CG characters into Wonder Studio, and vice versa, with animation, camera, and lighting data intact. This empowers artists to maintain full creative control over each element. Previously, workflows like these required substantial budgets, but automation is leveling the playing field for studios of all sizes.
Connected workflows and creative content are the future of our industry. Autodesk is revolutionizing production by connecting data, workflows, teams, and studios across the pipeline. Streamlining collaboration alleviates the complexity and pressures of our industry, allowing artists to focus on their craft.
At AU 2023, we'll share the full story of Flow and offer media and entertainment professionals a chance to connect, interact, and explore how visionary studios are utilizing Autodesk’s design and make solutions to bring productions into sharper focus. Among these innovators is Walt Disney Animation Studios, who will join us on stage to provide a glimpse into the intricate process behind their latest masterpiece, Wish, set to premiere in theaters on November 22nd.
I encourage you to attend our keynotes, theater sessions, and on-demand classes.
