Making "Monster's Inc.":
A Presentation of Techniques and Technologies Used to Create Pixar's
Animated Films
Wayne Wooten,
Pixar Animation Studios
Abstract:
Pixar has developed some of the world's most advanced techniques for
generating computer animated feature films, recently receiving an Oscar
for the creation of the Photorealistic Renderman software. In this talk
I plan to discuss the research and development that occurs at Pixar and
the technologies behind the film production process. My talk will touch
on artistic pre-production, the production pipeline, rendering
technologies, the renderfarm, and post-production issues. Sequences from
Pixar's latest film, "Monster's Inc" will be used as a case study for
presenting how the various pieces of technology come together to create
the final product.
