my respect for computers has just gone up
1:28 firstly, that number is wrong as it's rendered at a much higher resolution, and secondly 268bn is moderately big number in computer terms (sure it's over 100x the maximum size of a 32 bit integer but it's 0.000001% the size of a 64 bit integer. I have on many occassions needed number bigger than a 64 bit integer, and that's why arbitrary sized integers exist). 8k is 16 times the size of 2k so it would be 4.3t which is coming close to a large number. For instance if I wanted to calculate the primality of 4.3 trillion numbers in sequence it could be calculated in tens of seconds on my computer, utilising mutli-threading on a 16C/32T CPU. It shows just how much calculation each individual pixel actually requires for rendering.
I know a programmer who works on rendering at Pixar and he is the most insanely talented programmer I have ever come across, I think he just lives on an entirely different plane of existance. He primarily works on optimisation (he has told me his official job title before and while I can't remember what it was exactly know what he said wasn't "optimisations", it however boils down to optimisations).
In computing it's common you might have a solution to a problem that will take more than a few lifetimes of the universe that after reworking now takes miliseconds or even less than a milisecond. He does things that while they may not take lifetimes of the universe may still take multiple seconds and can be reduced to a fraction of a second, then with this saved time the technology can be increased and fill that time. He's sisyphus in his own hell, that he loves.
That many hot dogs lined up is a third of the way to Mars, or the biggest sausagefest since that 8th grade dance.
I just learned that a lot of online retailers have shipping area exclusions. The usual ones like PO Boxes, AFP, overseas territories, etc., but there is one exclusion in there that I find odd and I can’t find info on… El Paso, TX. Video idea?
Wanna know the best part?
We don't just render films once in the film industry, in fact most shots for a film will have been rendered 10/20/100 times before we (or the client) are happy with everything.
Plus, all of the departments that lead up to those final shots usually have to do their own renders too.
I'm a lookdev artist (Part of surfacing) and it's very normal for me and most other artists to send renders every single night 😀
And I thought over 3 months for the container ride in portal 2 was a lot..
Do a video on how to become a Nobel Prize winner
Fighting 8.5% inflation (more like 35%) with a 1% Fed funds interest rate is like stopping a forest fire with a bucket of water. Folks prepare accordingly. Make investment in other not to depend on the government for funds
Well that fact about the numbers of pixels which have to be rendered isn't really that relevant in this case since video games already do it pretty well in 60fps.
Billions of raw calculations are not a big deal for a computer nowdays.
What's importance here is talking about the complexity of a scene and the render passes.
And I'm pretty sure the shading part is done before the rigging and it's not really "animating" a surface yet :v
Misleading title, poorly researched and written script and boring visuals.
What will happen if you eat 268,738,560,000 rice grains instead of hot dogs? Hot dogs looked really big so that was no brainer.
Imagine the programmers who programmed this machines to work the way animators want it too.That is way more difficult
WxH, not HxW!!!
i'm glad animation is diversifying away from these photoreal techniques. i'm sure matte painting, rendering, painting over, compositing for arcane was faster than rendering a pixar movie, and it looks more interesting
HD is 720p, they named 1080p "Full HD".
So the rendering time is still ridiculously long so the animators use a lot of computers to do the job right?
As an animator, I approve this message
What they did with the hair on Merida continues to amaze me.
im sorry, how many times was that again?
the big number test: would that many hot dogs kill sam?
Congratulations, your explanation of why (and how) supersampling is done really IS annoying, because it's completely wrong.
thanks for always giving a laugh over thought provoking content
Pixar's movies are certainly much more than HD, and it's been a while since we don't use projectors at 24 fps.
Maybe you could make a video about how nobody knows how eels reproduce. They don't have sexual organs or anything. All that we know is that they swim to the Bermuda Triangle to do it.

Me: "Wow, the original Toy Story could now be rendered in just one hour! That's really quick!
"Oh wait, that's still on a 24,000 core render farm…"
could have done the video in 2 minutes without all thr lame jokes and filler content.
and this stuff is why video games typically use raster lighting, getting raytracing to look right in something that renders in real time is insanely difficult. Almost no games that have raytraced lighting, exclusively use raytracing. Most use a mix of raytracing, raster lighting, and fancy algorithms (called denoisers) to approximate what a fully raytraced frame would look like… and still deliver it at 60+ fps with a PC that doesn't cost $200,000.
But the fact that raytracing is the standard for animated films, and has been for many years, is why people who say "raytracing is just a gimmick" regarding video games, make me roll my eyes.
Whats is way more crazy though, that Unreal Engine 5 or Omniverse (Unity soon too) are able to deliver like 98% of the final image quality in real time. Many movies are actually shot in Unreal Engine currently, so we will see a lot more real time stuff in future. Only a few special effects require the big render farms, but you can reduce that just to the essential parts and put this in post pro on top of UE5 renders.
