To Infinity... and RenderMan XPU!
In 1995, Pixar’s Toy Story changed animation forever … not just with great storytelling, but by redefining the rules of filmmaking with Pixar’s cutting-edge technology, RenderMan. Now, nearly 30 years later, Pixar is launching the most significant update in over a decade, RenderMan XPU, Pixar’s hybrid CPU + GPU renderer … and as an exclusive for the View, you’ll get to see the first 72 seconds of the unreleased Toy Story 5 … all rendered in glorious XPU!
Join us for Pixar's Official Launch of RenderMan 27, with exclusive insights from Pixar productions and artistic case studies. We’ll explore how new modern workflows, from photorealism to advanced stylization, are empowering the next generation of artists, in studios big and small. This session looks back at the technological breakthroughs that shaped the industry … and ahead to the creative freedom unlocked by XPU. Whether you're rendering, directing, or dreaming … the future of storytelling is about to get faster, weirder, and a lot more fun.
And finally, there will be a limited supply of the 2025 walking teapots for the audience members, so don’t miss out and come early! This is one talk you won’t want to miss.
