Real-time Graphics in Pixar Film Production

I was literally crying tears while watching this. I wonder if any tech guys have some ideas about just how the hell this is possible at all...

Download on GitHub now. Wow, that is some sweet stuff.

Apparently a lot of the actual application part is, no surprise, still proprietary.

Insider source says Dreamworks has similar stuff, completely rewritten animation apps, costing LOTS of money.

Beefy Quadros and a lot of memory I assume. I know from an earlier paper they use Yebis for realtime camera simulation and probably some other middleware. But yeah, the fun stuff is always going to be proprietary =\

As the videos is now private, i believe you are speaking about USD; Hydra ? ... Nothing to with beefy quadros, its a new way of calculate the real time viewport.

We had a discussion about here https://blenderartists.org/forum/sh...d-demo-video-will-it-be-used-for-the-Viewport
