I've heard rumors that Pixar used to be able to render their movies in real-time :)
- HeWhoLurksLate 6y agoI'd like to imagine that they use some old movie or short as a benchmark, that'd be neat to see the data on.
- solinent 6y agoDefinitely--lots of old assets are used for testing, I've seen them personally. It's standard practice to keep around old models, scenes, textures, etc.
- klodolph 6y agoFrom what I understand, this was never the case, and not even close. Toy Story took a ton of compute power to render (at the time), Soul took a ton of compute power to render (at the time).
- solinent 6y agoThey render them at a very high resolution, so perhaps the person I heard the rumors from was talking about reducing the resolution to something less than 10k by 10k (or more sometimes, I've been out of the film industry for 8 years). I shouldn't really say more.
- dagmx 6y agoI'm not sure there are feature films rendered at 10k. At least I can't think of a single studio or project that's that high for anything other than marketing or special projects
