For Toy Story 4, the entire world the film takes place in was developed in such a way that multiple artists could work on the same file at once without overloading the system.
ANIMATING WITH RENDERMAN IT CODE
The soul s in Soul are stylized volumes (like clouds ), which required the RenderMan team to break the code in order to render and shade them. In Lightyear, now playing in theaters, an artificial intelligence denoiser was applied to every pixel in the film, developed by Disney Research in Zurich, which allows images to be rendered 40% faster. The presentation was broken into three parts after that amazing introduction, the first touching on RenderMan’s recent innovations at Pixar. I’m not going to lie, it was hard to tell the difference. Dylan also showed off the tool’s ability to replicate the hand-drawn look through 6 images, 3 or which he drew by hand, 3 of which were CG builds rendered with this technique. Noise was added to the short to replicate the filmic quality of Bambi Meets Godzilla. Programmed into the code are hand-drawn variance of the lines, giving the illusion that they are changing in thickness from frame to frame as they would if drawn by hand. If the short didn’t swipe away the effect routinely to show the CG characters behind it, I would’ve sworn it was hand-drawn. The short showcased a new RenderMan feature, the ability to render CG objects as 2D drawings. Dylan debuted a new short made with RenderMan and starring his teapot character, titled “Teapot Meets Potzilla” (an homage to Marv Newland’s cult classic Bambi Meets Godzilla ). Dylan Sisson is famous within the animation community for his walking teapots, not only used for animation demos but also given away as three-dimensional wind-up toys (he brought a few to give away during a Q&A at the end of the panel).
