Pixar's Ratatouille: Shading Food
Pixar Animation Studios
The challenge of shading food for Ratatouille was to work with a stylized look that fits into our world, yet is still readable and recognizable as something appealing to eat. We, as humans, have a built-in sensory system to know what looks edible to our eyes and stomach. Finding that acceptable (and tasty) appearence was the main focus.
King Kong: Shading Fur
Weta Digital
As Kong progressed through the film, his fur needed to reflect the environment and story. Sometimes it was clean and groomed, sometimes full of mud and leaves, and sprinkled with snow, or soaking wet. A fur system had to be developed to handle these situations.
Pixar's Research Library
Pixar Animation Studios
This library of technical papers is where Pixar shares some of the technology we have developed for use in our films. Of course, many these papers relate directly to Pixar's RenderMan.
