People, before, would tell artists that they're useless in society, but they forget all the entertainment, inspiration and joy they bring us while growing up.
They also have a fun habit of demanding art for free: showing they value it by how they want it but how they devalue it by not supporting the artist. Very hypocritical.
My principal suggested that I do engineering with robots instead when I told him I wanted to be an animator. It was because artists don't get famous until they die. I wasn't really offended but I wonder what would've happened if I followed his advice and gave up on art.
I actually got to meet one of the artist/programmers who worked on making those clouds on the good dinosaur. I never saw someone so excited and gitty to talk about clouds in my whole life. I'll never forget his energy and hope one day I'll have the same passion and energy with whatever I do.
This is what makes Pixar stand out of many. Although the stories are not always winners, the animation is always spot on. Because these people are passionate of their work. I say that as a Stop-Motion animator myself. It is very rewarding and fulfilling to create a world and give life to things that are lifeless.
@@jh8320 Get ready to see unrealistic characters mixed with volumetric clouds. Unreal Engine 4, one of the most feature rich game engine, already have it built in, and many Fortnite promo videos (which were made using the engine) already using it.
This increases my respect for the software engineers behind the advancements a lot more, since all of these advancements have been on the software side.
They spend years animating even though they know dang well that the majority of viewers won't appreciate the animators. I feel like i should read credits now
I know right? We never think about the people who are the engine ... I think most of those people probably rather to not be in the spotlight anywho ...
always, and hopefully they actually credit everyone involved, unlike certain 'live action' films (which are overwhelmingly dependant on 3d animatoin at this point) which happily leave out like half the animation and design staff. :
I know Toy Story 4 is more advanced than Toy Story 3, or The Incredibles 2 is more advanced than The Incredibles. But without videos like these, I can't name any changes even if I looked carefully while watching.
I can agree with you. But as an animator (not CGI but Stop-Motion) there's reward enough in seeing what you made come to life. It is very fulfilling to see how your hard work made something that is lifeless, like a computer sprite or a toy, come to life and with that tell a story. I think most Pixar animators are satisfied just with that. The glory and the credit is an extra. That's what makes the difference between a true passionate animator and a worker who just wants glory.
@@hisyam1664 You're also entirely right, theres other explainers that show the tech used for the octopus was actually first made forthe purple octopus toy, they could easily have replaced the character with any other toy and made ti work but nope
We can appreciate it just by watching the film. I'm certain most animators are not looking for glory or credit, it is rewarding in on itself to give life to something that is lifeless. I'm most certain the animators are satisfied with seeing their hard work paying off. I say that as a Stop-Motion animator myself.
Same. I love how, even in older animation, or less detailed animation, everything you see on screen is a choice. Like, I was watching Home Movies the other day, and it's just... ugly, but I appreciate that someone made the choice, the decision to decide that the visuals weren't very important for that show.
It is ...the guys in the background put the extra effort in to create the experience ... Especially the audio engineers ...Sound FX and film score is life
I feel like movies like Soul is really bringing attention to animators now and how truly astounding their work is with the incredible visuals they make. They’re finally getting some recognition for all the work they do with the help of videos like this, that bring their existence to light as well as their talent. I really hope that they get more credit for what they do and hope the small recognition they get will grow as animation gets better until they finally get the plaudits they deserve.
oof! wish i could watch the movies like soul, or luca when it hits in netflix.. being F2P watcher cant subscribe cause i got no digital money/card but love to see good 3d animation work
I don't care if people don't like Good Dinosaur (though granted the story isn't good and that is valid), the effort they put into the animation and realism should be acknowledged as a work of art!
It's a movie for children... Are you forgetting the concepts and plot have to relate to something a child could grasp and understand? It does a great job of relating a child's struggle of wanting to live up to the expectations of their parents and growing up to be strong. I think you should save those types of criticisms for movies that are for adults.
@@asdvvvvf5381 so is soul which does not hide that it’s about existentialism and that you die, and you go somewhere when you die. Based on your logic that’s something kids can’t grasp and shouldn’t be a movie for them
For the record, it can take a week to animate 3 seconds. But the reward is very fulfilling. I say that as an animator myself. Not CGI but Stop-Motion. And it takes hours to animate something right, but just seeing that you brought to life something that is lifeless is a big reward in on itself.
Pixar is separate from Disney but they partnered with Disney to take care of marketing and all the release issues so they would have the freedom to make stories.
The one thing that stood out to me about Luca's monster-transition animations is that they never show the tails appearing at the base- only as a side effect either off screen or obscured by other parts of the body or other people. Must be that they couldn't find a realistic way to show it. And how about the *water*! The entire Portorosso Cup sequence is just amazing.
@@briannawalker4793 Moana was made by Disney Animation Studios as opposed to Pixar, which is a Disney owned subsidiary. I do not know how much, if at all, they share animation technology/ techniques.
Incredible tech innovations there! You people are beyond the word "genius". Kudos and heartfelt gratitude to the entire Pixar team for entertaining the audiences with such super high quality stuff.There is no better storylines produced than you guys do. Love you lots Pixar! Keep rocking!
It blows my mind that every time they encounter a problem they always tackle it and that it usually takes years to find a solution to also help others in the future
They explain it in the Incredibles dvd commentary. They have a Normal rig for Hellen that can't stretch and when it is time for her to stretch they swap the normal model for the stretchy one.
the video said she has a normal rig and a stretchy rig, probably uses blend shapes or no bones whatsoever inside the stretchy parts, and uses triplanar texture projection basically to keep the texture clear and not stretched. they either had to animate the stretchy by hand as it inflated or flattened or they calculated using physics WITH animating slight behaviours. maybe there were more than one stretch rigs fit for the scene even
And that's why every single Pixar movie is just fking AMAZING. The animation alone, and then the story, dialogue and scenes. Nothing tops Pixar. They have never had a bad movie. 👏👏👏
@@DisneyFun2023 Okay, well, the Cars movies shouldn't have had any sequels, but I didn't think Good Dinosaur was all that bad. Not their STRONGEST movie, but still a good movie / not a bad one honestly.
@@sonicfan9144 Of course!! I was just saying that they shouldn't have made the sequels. Toy Story is the only one that I loved all the sequels though. They weren't dumb or embarrassing. Oh, and I guess the Incredibles sequel wasn't bad either, but not great. My statement was any ORIGINAL Pixar movies are all fantastic. 😄
Everyone putting in is excellent at the their craft ... because even the voice actors [ who usually get most of the recognition ] they're skills still makes the film the magic it is ...
As an animator in the making [studying], videos like this make me terryfied yet excited for the future!! Words cannot express it, but this is all so damn cool, can't wait to keep learning more and more everyday about this awesome form of story telling
I still can't get over how good the animation is in Luca and Soul. There are shots in those films that honestly look live action. Some shots in other films like Cars 3, the good dinosaur, Incredibles 2 and toy story 4 were also amazingly animated
I never noticed how much effort goes into these films… I really need to start paying attention to these things now given the effort each team puts into them.
It’s crazy because seeing these details pointed out like this finally puts a name to what I found beautiful in each movie - the quality of the food in Ratatouille, the reflections on the cars in Cars, and the depth of view on the jellyfish in Finding Nemo all mesmerized me as a kid, and now I know why!
As 3d artist I should say. Every innovation in this list - was innovative for pixar themselves. Literaly. For example GI (Global illumination) have been used by different studios for years before "monsters univercity" even Shrek 2 used it. Same with clouds, same with shaders, or advanced rig systems. They are catching up with technology, not inventing.
Thanks for this comment, I've been doing 3d animation off and on for 15+ years and I was like... Absolutely none of this is new to Pixar for these movies. The tips and tricks and even tools they "created" have been around years before those movies were in production, saying Pixar created global illumination was like a punch to the face lmao. Pixar was catching up, not innovating! Preach
they simply evolved their versions of those things, they invented different systems for previously existing things, different systems that end up with very different results.
This kind of dedication and resilience is sooooo underrated. They never settle for less, even for the minute details, and never choose the easy way out.
Thank you so much for this! Now I kind of expect a Part 3 within the next decade, along with upcoming Pixar films and exciting new animation possibilities!
2:33 - I think Global Illumination per mentioned here is more in line with full path tracers as opposed to just the GI as a whole. We already have stuff radiosity to get GI working for years before Monsters University came out, prominently being used in games. However, this poses limitations, being less dynamic compared to hacky solutions in game engine's raster renderers like screen space GI or voxel GI, or full blown path tracers in offline movies. Though I might be confusing the different variations of GI, since I only work with game engines as opposed to offline renderers.
You are correct, also bump mapping existes long time ago, however they are mentioning it very superficial, the innovation was on "ray tracing like" global dynamic illumination as Unreal Engine 5 does now in real time. It just saved on rendering instead of just RT the whole thing.
people who have this as their job really deserve more recognition and honor their work is so underrated and they put effort in every single detail like damn my respect for them📈📈📈📈📈
This is why I always stay through the credits, to see who made the movie. Kudos to everyone at Pixar, Industrial Light & Magic, Perception, Digital Domain, Imaginary Forces, etc.
I love how (atleast to my knowledge) they don’t get lazy and just find a way around their obstacle and cut things out because it’s too advanced. They actually find a solution and use techniques they’re constantly learning, to use in other films. Videos like this really power my hopes in becoming an animator one day :)
The realistic camera work in toy story 4 were what made it stand out for me. Yeah… the lighting was also amazing… obviously, but those camera work was like the digital camera was an actual camera 😁 (similar to the walle one)
People underestimate how essential all of these inventions by Pixar are to computer animation but also 3d modelling in general. The things they have created are used everywhere nowadays from computer games to most movies. All of these things have been improved and updated over the years and are seen as essential features nowadays.
Thanks for this video series, it was really informative and behind the scenes looks at animation like this is always really entertaining and enjoyable for me. Glad that more animators have been getting the attention they deserve in recent years.
When I first saw the trailer for Brave, I couldn't even grasp the main premise because I was so blown away by Merida's hair. I'm a redhead too, but it's mostly straight.
I'd love to work on the tech for a Pixar movie. I'd also be interested in seeing some of the old movies remade with modern tech. The Incredibles with the tech of the Incredibles 2 would be amazing.
no wonder Pixar movie always great. the effort they put in it really great. they always create new tools(program) when needed or when have problem , thats crazy. they dedication is no joke
The moment they said that braves hair was developed for 3 years...and after that they would use it for so many other movies, that gave me big confidence to spend lots of time focusing at 1 thing in music, so i can later use all i learned and make smt perfect xD
Eh... if you just one man team or it is a personal goal like making a music you don't want to fixated on small detail because if you do you won't deliver anything as a result and you're more likely to feel frustrated and stop. Pixar do it because they can, for the rest of us individual or small team just continue make garbage project into less garbage project. It's not much but it is honest work, we will get better overtime so stop thinking about small details because remember perfection is an enemy of progress.
As someone who dabbles in 3D and has been for like 15+ years now, Pixar was catching up: not innovating. They were WAY behind, it just didn't look like it. Another comment pointed out what I already thought, global Illumination has been around for way longer than monsters university... Half the things they invented for their movies already existed. The tips and tricks used in this video have been a thing since way before the movies they were for came out. Yeah Pixar deserves recognition, but giving them the kind of credit to say they were basically inventing and changing things for animators is a slap on anyone who DOES do animation lmao
Yea I refuse to believe global illumination was invented by Pixar. It's been around for years. And i'm nitpicking but regardless, it wouldn't have been animator inventing it, but software and tech engineer
That's why I love Disney in all ways. They combine the art of modeling (and animation) with the story itself. The result is what we love for the rest of our lives. To hear they evolve in surprising ways... That makes me believe in this magic forever.
I really like how almost all of their obstacles and solutions were essentially: "We need to simulate X, but our X-simulating program isn't powerful enough... well, time to make a new one!"
Except the clouds for some reason.

I love how (atleast to my knowledge) they don’t get lazy and just find a way around their obstacle and cut things out because it’s too advanced. They actually find a solution and use techniques they’re constantly learning, to use in other films.
Videos like this really power my hopes in becoming an animator one day :)
It’s amazing how many details they’re able to pay attention to now days.
These videos help understand and explain the 'Why' behind...
Why do you love animation despite being an adult.
These animators are amazing! Their work goes underappreaciated
The realistic camera work in toy story 4 were what made it stand out for me. Yeah… the lighting was also amazing… obviously, but those camera work was like the digital camera was an actual camera 😁 (similar to the walle one)
People underestimate how essential all of these inventions by Pixar are to computer animation but also 3d modelling in general. The things they have created are used everywhere nowadays from computer games to most movies. All of these things have been improved and updated over the years and are seen as essential features nowadays.
Pixar developing a software for 12 years for the sole purpose of making a little grass reflection 0.1% more accurate
I wish people put this much effort on earth!
Best video ever! Attention to detail is spine tickling!!
The Good Dinosaur’s graphics were unbelievable
Thanks for this video series, it was really informative and behind the scenes looks at animation like this is always really entertaining and enjoyable for me. Glad that more animators have been getting the attention they deserve in recent years.
When I first saw the trailer for Brave, I couldn't even grasp the main premise because I was so blown away by Merida's hair. I'm a redhead too, but it's mostly straight.
Pixar is the definition of Talent, change my mind.
BIG RESPECT TO THOSE ANIMATORS OUT THERE.
Omg Toy Story 4 was the best. It made me cry so much. This series will be missed!
Wow, it's rare a part 2 has more views than a part 1.

It is always incredible to get reminded of what is behind the scenes here. Mindblowing innovation!
I loved this series! Thank you for making it
I'd love to work on the tech for a Pixar movie. I'd also be interested in seeing some of the old movies remade with modern tech. The Incredibles with the tech of the Incredibles 2 would be amazing.
Awesome! I hope Disney starts treating Pixar more like an equal than they have so far. They deserve it.
no wonder Pixar movie always great.
the effort they put in it really great.
they always create new tools(program) when needed or when have problem , thats crazy. they dedication is no joke
THANK YOU Pixar!! ❤️
The moment they said that braves hair was developed for 3 years...and after that they would use it for so many other movies, that gave me big confidence to spend lots of time focusing at 1 thing in music, so i can later use all i learned and make smt perfect xD
Eh... if you just one man team or it is a personal goal like making a music you don't want to fixated on small detail because if you do you won't deliver anything as a result and you're more likely to feel frustrated and stop.
Pixar do it because they can, for the rest of us individual or small team just continue make garbage project into less garbage project. It's not much but it is honest work, we will get better overtime so stop thinking about small details because remember perfection is an enemy of progress.
@@bb-Akemi well, by "1 thing at a time" i meant, focusing on writting good melodies first, and hang the mixing/drums part
Fun Fact: They recently used the snow animation models from frozen to try and explain what happened during the Dyotlov pass incident
Brave es such a beautiful and amazing movie. Watched it a few nights ago. I kinda want to again. Hoping for brave 2
These people are goddamn passionate, determined and dedicated what the heck.
This is why Pixar movies are worth to watch at cinema
I always watch these movies with full attention because everything just looks so beautifuly animated that I cannot take my eyes away.
I love how they take their time to make movie
3 years just to animate one frame is mindboggling o.o
never thought how much engineering goes to these movies
As someone who dabbles in 3D and has been for like 15+ years now, Pixar was catching up: not innovating. They were WAY behind, it just didn't look like it. Another comment pointed out what I already thought, global Illumination has been around for way longer than monsters university... Half the things they invented for their movies already existed. The tips and tricks used in this video have been a thing since way before the movies they were for came out.
Yeah Pixar deserves recognition, but giving them the kind of credit to say they were basically inventing and changing things for animators is a slap on anyone who DOES do animation lmao
Yea I refuse to believe global illumination was invented by Pixar. It's been around for years. And i'm nitpicking but regardless, it wouldn't have been animator inventing it, but software and tech engineer
watch this make me want to watch all of the animation movies and say thank you everytime it gets so realistic
They really be making the universe again
cant wait for part three in 5 or 10 years when Pixar makes even more banger movies
Idk man since 2011 every movie got worse.
That's why I love Disney in all ways. They combine the art of modeling (and animation) with the story itself. The result is what we love for the rest of our lives. To hear they evolve in surprising ways... That makes me believe in this magic forever.
♥️ Disney could be the heart thing but Pixar got the brain. Love it!
I watch animation movies mainly to get impressed by the animation itself
Another great video, loved it!
@pixar, Whatever you do in the future, I'll be there in the theatres to see it. No matter what age ♥️
This is why i love Pixar
It's amazing how they make everything Soo detailed💕💕💗
I love the ones about clothes, it’s particularly fascinating
This mini doc is so well done
