Special Talk: Inside Pixar's RenderMan: XPU on "Toy Story 5"
Advertisement
Toy Story changed storytelling in 1995. Now RenderMan XPU changes how stories are made, with interactive final-frame rendering, stylized looks and a Toy Story 5 preview.
In 1995, Toy Story didn't just tell a new kind of story, it changed how stories could be made. Nearly 30 years later, Pixar is entering another turning point with RenderMan XPU.
This talk features a special preview of the first 72 seconds of Toy Story 5, rendered with XPU. Pixar's hybrid CPU + GPU renderer brings final-frame rendering to interactive workflows. Faster feedback lets artists explore more, push further and discover ideas they would not have planned, from realism to stylized looks. You'll also see how to use XPU in the upcoming RenderMan Challenge. And yes, there will be teapots.
