Having set a high standard in the world of animation, Pixar movies have regaled the audiences for years! Animators and artists have always aspired to imbibe and emulate the craft that Pixar is known for. In this global lockdown induced by the pandemic, many educators and software companies have launched a flurry of sessions featuring the absolute Gurus of the field of animation and visual effects.
Foundry recently announced a webinar featuring Katana and Pixar’s Renderman and how their tools helped Pixar arrive at the images in the movie ‘Onward’.
Pixar’s latest feature film, Onward, combines the mythic with the mundane, as two brothers try to find magic in the suburbs.
Foundry shared, “During this presentation, Tim Best will show how magic was created for the big screen, literally, as he describes the challenges of lighting a fantasy world full of elves, centaurs, and spellcasting with the Foundry’s Katana.”
