Toy Story 5 and Beyond: RenderMan XPU: The Next Chapter
RenderMan XPU is reshaping production workflows by bringing interactive and final-frame rendering closer together than ever before. This session explores the latest advances in Pixar's unified rendering architecture and how they help artists iterate faster, tackle increasingly complex productions, and spend more time creating.
Using examples from Pixar productions, including Toy Story 5, and Pixar's RenderMan Challenge, we'll look at recent developments in lighting, look development, rendering, and stylized workflows, and how XPU is helping transform rendering from a production bottleneck into a creative accelerator.
