Autodesk is pushing the boundaries of the best animation software with FaceAnimator, a new AI-driven tool that generates facial and lip-sync animation from audio files, announced at Autodesk University 2025. Alongside updates to MotionMaker, these tools aim to cut production time while giving animators complete control over performance and style.
FaceAnimator stands out because it can learn from any production rig, adapting to the unique look and feel of a project. You can essentially train the AI on your own animation or show, and then it will learn and replicate the style, saving days of work.
