Overview

For the 8th RenderMan Art Challenge, two icons of the VFX industry finally meet ... Pixar's Walking Teapot and Substance's Mat. In celebration Mat brought a gift, the Pixar Ball!

This scene was created by Vladimir Petkovic, Adobe Substance 3D Creative Director, using Substance Painter and Substance Stager. It was converted to RenderMan by Leif Pedersen, RenderMan Specialist.
