Autodesk Flame 2027 Update introduces two machine learning models for generating depth maps from indoor and outdoor shots. These models are available in the Selective object, where they can be used to isolate parts of an image; in the Z-Depth Map object, where they can be used to place objects within a scene or apply defocus effects; and as standalone nodes.
