Pixar and "RenderMan"
We continue to build our IEEE Life Member community and plan to continue to hold live (and live/virtual when appropriate) meetings like this hands-on workshop. Mark your calendars, and plan on a meeting the 3rd Wednesday of the 1st month of every quarter.
Join your fellow IEEE OEB-LMAG members for lunch, and an opportunity to hear about Pixar from Dan McCoy, a key technical contributor to Pixar’s award-winning software “RenderMan”, as well as many of its blockbuster movies. Dan will talk about Pixar and the technology it uses to develop its 3D Animated movies.
This is a chance to hear about how Pixar has changed the way that 3D animated movies, and all movies with 3D special effects, are made.
It is also a great chance to make new friends and socialize with other IEEE members and guests.
