The rigging UI looks fascinating, also the visualization between the tweaking points with the lines that deform with the mesh

"As you can see, the setup is quite simple." Me, a non-animator and thoroughly confused by the sight alone: *nodding*

being able to animate with an official pixar rig would be sweet, they look so fun to use

@j20green 9 ай бұрын

I would love to see how this whole rig is set up within Maya or any other 3D application. The accessibility to deform your mesh on the fly instead of having to correct the pose blows my mind.

There’s a technical paper and video that goes with the video for Turning Red too. A Curvenet for Pixar is another primitive that’s even different from a simple curve, much like hair is a specialized curve with its own functionality. The way the rigging works you see it preserve the geometry when posing so you need less tedious weightpainting(still adjustments need to be made or course but that’s the idea). But it’s Pixar focused right now because the curve nets have an algorithm probably not released to the public yet, but it’s not unheard of since the principled shader was taken from Pixar’s work on wreck it Ralph and put into the other softwares and so was Render Man and even as far back as subdivision surfaces so maybe some day

It's a tough time in the industry world wide because of the strikes. But they are important because AI protections need to be put in place so we all have jobs in a few years. Keep your head up and keep creating. There will be a job for you soon!

Interesting, I've never heard of a curvenet. It's reminiscent of how CAD programs usually do things; modeling with Beziers and splines instead of straight segments.

@riccardofacella9489 9 ай бұрын

It may be a bit too... general a question, but what are the programs and software that production houses, at least for animation, use to animate, model, texturize, apply effects, edit and assemble scenes, create music, edit existing music?

@SpiderManny 9 ай бұрын

presto

@ventiladordesuco 9 ай бұрын

I bet they use them all. As you can see in this R&D example, if needed, they may also write their own software. But would not surprise me if they did use Blender, Maya C4D, Modo, just to achieve a particular effect. A Disney Pixar production can cost up to what? 250M? And gross up to a bi, so yeah, they pretty much can afford every single software imaginable and create their own. In fact, as far as I know, Disney IS the industry, many standards were inventend by them or engineers/researchers that at one point worked for them or were funded by them, that's the case for many shading technologies, animation, modeling, lighting, rigging, the list is huge.

@kingofthekoopas8857 9 ай бұрын

Here I’m fairly certain they’re using a proprietary software they made called Presto. It’s what Pixar uses the most commonly to animate. Disney, and pretty much ever other major studio, uses Maya primarily for animation. As for the rest of the pipeline, it really depends
