Wow, I had always assumed Pixar was doing GI/ray tracing by now. Looking forward to seeing MU to check out the graphics porn.

- KaiserPro 13y agoIronically Renderman has had global illumination and ray tracing for over ten years. Having said that, what renderman is and what pixar animation do/use are rather orthogonal. For example pixar made heavy use of Subsurface scattering in the incredibles. Something that was at the time rather time intensive. The title is a bit misleading as they've been using raytracing for years 1 [1]http://graphics.pixar.com/library/RayTracingCars/paper.pdf http://graphics.pixar.com/library/RayTracingCars/paper.pdf
- bendavis381 13y agoThey were doing GI before, but using an approximate point-based solution. The point-based stuff isn't as accurate but it's very fast and still looks pretty good.
