Thanks for sharing !

For animation internships, maya actually isn't listed as a requirement and they'll make their judgements based on 2D reels as well! From personal experience, they'd be happy to train a 2D animator for Presto - inspirationtuts mentioned it's very artist friendly. But knowledge of maya certainly does help a lot!

@@gracev7855 Very true, not one piece of software qualifies or disqualifies candidates - good artists' skills shine through, no matter the tools being used.

This means that Maya = presto.. So Maya is the king!

@@cherifaly6757 Um... actually, no. Do not love your tools, they will not love you back (:

nice

and i'll just stick with Maya

me too

@@severfifteen994 That's a personal attack

@@severfifteen994 maya HE maya WHO

Yikes, salty face

I dont remember that part in the movie....

Animators just goofing about and having fun for shits and giggles. Got to have some stress outlet.

XD

200th like

Even source filmmaker doesn’t have that, which makes it a pain to use for me.

Glad you enjoy it!

@@InspirationTuts Yes I love every single one of your uploads. Its very rare to find youtubers like that.

Yeah it's becoming my favorite too

Ye

Another video full of inaccuracy

Ikr

Tools are always a limit for a good artist, i bet their tools is trying to eliminate the upper ceiling and also make it the most efficient way.

open source, free, and a generalist software... that's why it's great. it may not be like maya, c4d, zbrush, or whatever where they're focused on just 1 thing, and that's not a bad thing because it opens so many more doors than the rest do and that's ok.

It might allow it but it takes an active developer to actually do it too. Whats your point?

@@Megalomaniakaal IT allows it and there are many people contributing to it rather than a small team. This speed up work. U can that blender has catched up to other software

@@cameosix7077 In areas it has and in some it is still doing the catching up. I know I use it too, have been since late 2003. :) Ironically it used to be one of the best UV unwrappers in mid naughties but sadly it has fallen behind on that front.

it was nothing but maya and motion builder

Looking for name of that movie!

Presto is for animation and maya is also used :)

From what I heard Disney studios (Frozen stuff like that not made by Pixar) are animated in Maya but Pixar movies in Presto only. In this video he obviously mixed footage from both (and even the USD software of Pixar) since there is not a lot of ressources on presto.

@@kodoyama presto is a proprietary software owned and developed by Pixar. It's probably inspired indeed but it's not made by the same people. If it was it would have be called Autodesk Presto with a mention on their website (it would be a huge selling point to make the main software for Pixar) but it's not the case so pretty sure Autodesk doesn't develop for them except with Maya yes

Pixar never used autodesk softwares.

@@alexas8787I was not sure for Maya for maybe modeling so thanks

Renderman is their render engine not their software

They do animations on low poly model first and once they have the specific animation complete they change the low poly into a high poly model for higher details.

They also use a extensive smoothing program made for A Bugs Life (forgot the name).

One is POTC, one is fantastic 4, and the assault craft is a thunderbird so it has to be avengers

@@will2037 Thanks!

@@will2037 Have you seen the short film on a similar landing craft? It's part of the Love, Death and Robots anthology by Netflix!

@@Tome4kkkk yeah I watched it they were pretty funny

@@Tome4kkkk I think that's a Nazi bomb, not a zeppelin. It's from Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children.

Nope

Presto also supports rigging, fur and hair grooming, and simulation (I think?)

What about modeling?

industry standard is still Maya 🤷🏻‍♂️ Although Blender is good, I don't think Blender or C4D will ever be used inside the animation industry

@@daviddoodlez You are correct, Maya is still a king and will be for some time due to various reasons. But animation industry is a broad term and C4D and Blender have their stable place in it and they are covering different areas then Houdini. But only Houdini is in a position of taking Maya down as major vfx studios are already switching (sloooowly), cheers!

@@mareknetzel you have a good point!! I think the switch is currently slow since studios might not wanna re-train their staff to newer programs 😂 Hopefully we can see a shift someday!

I agree Houdini is going to be the next big software because of its ability to produce things procedurally. So instead of making just one chair model, you can design a program within Houdini to spit out several thousand variations of chairs. However, the problem is the vast majority of 3D artists find Houdini scary and hard to learn (since it's got more of a programming workflow), and I hate to be that person but a lot of the programmers that are great at using Houdini don't have that artistic touch. Yes occasionally you have some artists that are good at Houdini and occasionally you have programmers that are really good at art. But that's very rare. So I'm interested to see how the industry is going to tackle that issue.

@frost bite most studios use older versions of software to avoid bugs or unprecedented errors during production, a popular studio in Vancouver uses Maya 2015 just to be safe haha so constant updates aren't always the best in that regard

Yes, and they use System76 laptop

@@andikatrin.2574 Awesome!

@Karanjeet Kainth Yup

the artists in pixar expressed their interest in blender it is told in the event of renderman for blender

They do, or at least they did, i used to work for Kodak (Motion Picture Imaging) and visited Pixar a few times (back then although the animations werte digital they still had to be transferred to 35mm film for the cinemas and we supplied and carried out the work for them, i actually saw Toy Story about three weeks before it premiered.), it was a visit to them that actually got me into Blender all them years back, a few of their artists were working with it, it wasn't their main workflow but these guys found it easier to use for prototyping scenes, they told me they liked it so much so that their in house software was actually originally based off of a heavily modified branch of the original open source blender.

I worked at Disney Animation for almost 8 years, and I did use Blender to model several blendshapes on a movie 👍

@@ikerclon ...and I used Wings 3D and Silo for some things occasionally but that doesn't mean the studio I worked for was using it. Just like your Blender adventures were not in the pipeline of the studio.

Dleted scnene

Thanks!

If you think so, then you are a noob. Lol

@@cherifaly6757 your a jerk

Renderman is for big scenes. As Arnold from Sony. So for small shots or products sure People can use something like Redshift or Vray (which i dont like). And for milions objects in one scene for example Clarisse. It depends. Renderman is really great, always was one of the best. Also Arnold is my favourite Engine.

Yea, Maya crashes alot specially in earlier versions.

Every software is easy if u put some time with it.

I recommend using Prisma 3D (or Reconn 3D) for beginners. Both of them are good and more beginner friendly than Blender. (I recommend Reconn 3D the most as it has the best lighting for beginners and stuff)

They use Presto, Presto animation software is only exclusive to Pixar, it’s not available to download for the public

Warcraft (2016), I think.

Is this the taste of a liar???

lots of big and small studios run Linux desktops. Why pay the Windows tax when you're running Maya, Nuke, or Houdini 100% of the time?

Not only because windows is costly for setting up but also because windows is really less stable than linux and mac os. My linux laptop can go easily for 2 months without shutting down without an issue... Now imagine this on a windows laptop...

I really thought they would use Mac OS since Steve Jobs had a lot to do with Pixar

@@junilog Good Point! But I don't think the Disney's developers would ask Apple for exclusive high end specs sheet for their custom application. Plus, Linux is also faster than Macos and Windows, so they probably wouldn't have bothered fiddling around Apple's proprietary world.

@@junilog The problem with the Mac is that a lot of the high-end graphics apps are super-optimized to take advantage of NVidia graphics cards, and Apple/NVidia can't get their acts together and collaborate on drivers.

They do, or at least they did, i used to work for Kodak (Motion Picture Imaging) and visited Pixar a few times (back then although the animations werte digital they still had to be transferred to 35mm film for the cinemas and we supplied and carried out the work for them, i actually saw Toy Story about three weeks before it premiered.), it was a visit to them that actually got me into Blender all them years back, a few of their artists were working with it, it wasn't their main workflow but these guys found it easier to use for prototyping scenes, they told me they liked it so much so that their in house software was actually originally based off of a heavily modified branch of the original open source blender.

Maya/ZBrush and Photoshop

​ @Oliver Böhm no one use photoshop for texturing today, i see in some project mari and could be create the material in substance designer.

Actually they use their brains alot more!

That is wrong comparison for Houdini, Houdini is a car factory as you can develop any tool you need within easily....

Blender would be a volvo.. you can drive that shit off a cliff and it would still work

And before that, it was the CG division of Lucasfilm. Which George Lucas sold to Jobs to get some cash to help pay for his divorce settlement. Interesting that, some years after that divestiture, Lucasfilm realized that CG was the future, after all. And so they created Industrial Light & Magic.

@@spaghetta5497 Yup I know thats how i rendered way back.

Why not renderwoman

They invented it.

@@lawrencedoliveiro9104 ik

You can’t, Presto is not available for the public, it’s exclusive to Pixar only

Who cares?.. They are all tools made from c++ codes..

To answer your question, as far as I know (and this is me talking from my basic knowledge in coding), yes, you do need a programming software that has the ability to compile codes on your computer machine to be able to develop a new program. An example of such programming software is Visual Studio Code, and it usually comes with an inbuilt program preset examples. So, I can download and install VS Code on my computer and it's compilers, then I can take one of the preset programs in VS Code, and modify the code to suit my needs, then when I compile the modified codes, I can develop my own tool that way and give it a name, so that tool does what I specifically wrote my code for it to do... For example, I can use a preset on VS code and rewrite the code such that what it does is to do addition and subtraction of any numbers I input to it, now when I compile this code, I basically create an executable file (.exe) that whenever I launch it, all it ever does is to add and subtract numbers and generate the results for me... Now for computer graphics, it gets even way more complicated, but the basic idea is the same... So, on the basic level, you do need a programming software (e.g visual studio code) that has the ability to compile executable files for you to be able to develop a new tool, and the programmers who specializes on developing new tools or software are software developers... Those are the kind of guys that develop these sort of tools for Pixar etc... I hope this explanation helps

In addition to my response above, another thing you do have to understand is the very basic way of how computer works. On a microscopic level of things, the only thing computer machine understands is 0s and 1s (like logic gates, 1 means open and 0 means close). Now, in order for we human beings to be able to communicate with computer and tell it to do anything we want, we need to find a way for the computer to interpret whatever command we give it as zeros and ones (0 and 1). That is, we type in a word or a command that we understand, and the computer will interpret and understand them as a combination of zeros and ones.This is where programming language comes in. There are so many types of programming languages that exists, but basically, what those programming language do is to serve as a medium with which we human beings communicate with the computer machine. Now, every programming languages has their own unique sets of rules which we need to learn, so that when we type a command in a programming language, the computer will understand such command and then perform whatever we need it to do. If we do not obey these set of rules, then the computer won't understand us and we will get errors. So, the fundamental of coding is, using a set of rules of a programming language to tell the computer to do anything want, that is called input commands. Then vice versa, for the computer to talk back to us in a way we understand, the computer will give us outputs which we can see on a monitor screen for example. A collection of outputs from the computer that does what we need it to do based on the various input commands we give it are usually collected together in a compiled executable file (created by a compiler by the computer). This is how I like to look at it

@@TopsonNoble thanks for the in depth response! So my remaining question is where does something like Visual Studio Code come from? Who creates that? I mean, it’s not just natively on a computing system, right? Is VSC just a collection of binary code as well? Like I said, it feels like a “chicken or egg” situation to me. Where does that very baseline stuff like VSC come from? But thanks again for the response, everything else in the process now makes sense to me!

They didn’t make it commercially available he said 😢

that's just how you render it. generally speaking the modeling, texturing, animation etc are done in a seperate program to the actual game engine, the game engine just handles interactive elements and rendering

@@littlesnowflakepunk855 Oo... So that's it... Are you a game dev or something kind of???

According to yr goals Maya is industry standard

HAHA, it usually starts having problems after 3 years and its why so many people lease a BMW for that amount of time then return it when the lease is up.
