Disney's Practical Guide to Path Tracing
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 15 ส.ค. 2024
- Path tracing is a method for generating digital images by simulating how light would interact with objects in a virtual world. The path of light is traced by shooting rays (line segments) into the scene and tracking them as they bounce between objects. Path tracing gets its name from calculating the full path of light from a light source to the camera. Light can potentially bounce between many objects inside the virtual scene. As a ray of light hits a surface, it bounces and creates new rays of light. A path can therefore consist of a number of rays. By collecting all of the rays along a path together, the contributions of a light source and the surfaces along the path can be calculated. These calculations are used to produce a final image.
you guys forgot the part where the software crashes right before you have to save it so you cry all night trying to cope with the fact that you won't finish the project and will fail the class 👌
and the part where the files have errors on your computer so you were screwed from the start.
IF you're working on anything important, you should save it to a backup copy about every 30 minutes. You can keep overwriting the same backup file ofc, so you don't end up having a million different versions of the same thing. However, if you really want added security you can. For any program, CTRL + S(for save) or CTRL + SHIFT + S(for save as) is your friend. Get to know it well. It is a good friend. once you get used to the shortcut it will make your life much easier, trust me. 10 years of music production and probably an HOUR of lost songs later, I can safely say I don't lose any of my projects anymore because of these practices. Making backups of anything you're working on that is important is so, so beneficial. You might think my advice is trivial now, but if (or rather, WHEN) the time comes where you lost hours of hard work from an error - you'll be thanking me :)
@@novafawks if it crashes while you render there is no saving it
@@seekyunbounded9273 No, but anybody that's been doing it for a while knows to always save(including to the backup) before a render. It's a beginner error not to
@@novafawks well that is what he mean in original comment, that it crashes before you can save
Felt like Goofy could pop up any moment during the video, I love the style and presentation it feels so "classic Disney" it's great!
***** now I feel disappointed that goofy didn't pop up.
Ära It would've liven things up a bit!
Or Donald (as with Mathemagic Land?) ....
Very nostalgic. Between the music, fonts, the narrator’s voice and accent, the subtle static in the audio,and the non-CG appearance of the scene, I was starting to think that path tracing had a different meaning in hand drawn cell animation and this was a restored video from the 50s.
It didn’t make sense that animators cared that much about the physics of light so I also questioned my sanity until the computer with a modern flat screen display came out.
Very well done.
This is a really nice introduction for people that don't know how the basics of pathtracing work. Comprehensive and entertaining, yet not overwhelming!
dude now RTX can do this insanely fast that it can produce 60+ FPS with incredible accuracy. no need to study more 🙂

Wait what?
They pretty much are the kings of offline rendering. If it wasn't for disney, unreal 4 and unity 5 wouldn't have their lighting system.
Look up Disney Imagineering.
@@anjishnu8643 That's the name they give to people who work on their theme parks. Look up Pixar.
Not just the kings of rendering, the kings of animation. Pixar is just more beloved, but Disney is OG.
disney were one of the first, if not the first, companys who did it. Soo.

It was rendered in 3D, but it was surfaced to look like a cartoon ;)
+Cassiano
Probably not - the image is way to sketchy and uneven - light there is "artistic" and physically wrong (look at tree on the right, lower part is illuminated wrong on right side. And upper branch has a sort of additional leaf piece which has a whole different light source. My bet - it's drawn. It would take insane amount of time to create in 3D
Well, they did include the wireframe at 2:38, where you can see the camera move around in 3D.
@ and that may be a simple reconstruction.
@@StiekemeHenk But why? This scene would be incredibly easy to make. Maybe about an hour of hasty work (probably even less for their professionals). Why would they go through the trouble of drawing a scene for a video that is about computer animation when this could be cooked up in an afternoon and better demonstrate what they are talking about?

always find it hard to imagine what settings they use in Disney - it is known they commonly spend hours if not days per frame - using worlds biggest render farms...Mind=blown
So fukin true
@@777Mikos- Depends whats software is being used and what scene and when it was. There where frames on A Bug's Life which took 96 hours but that was using crappy old RenderMan on 300Mhz MIPS CPUs. The cutting edge workstations we had at Disney 10 years ago are now less powerful than my phone!
Give up Maya and learn Blender - Once you've used EeVee you won't go back!
I love how it’s done like one of Disney’s informative animations from back in the day - but he’s talking about computers and processing and rendering.
While I'm not in the computer animation field myself (and prefer hand-drawn) I found this to be really interesting. More importantly, I loved seeing an educational video from Disney! Walt produced a great number of educational programs and clearly believed in the power of teaching through art and creativity. I wouldn't necessarily put this in the same category as those classics, but it definitely has a reminiscent tone, so thumbs up for a step in the right direction!

This does a great job explaining path tracing and ray tracing. Makes me appreciate the work you guys do so much more. Only downside is that Goofy or Donald definitely should've been the one explaining it.
Maybe Goofy, nobody would understand Donald.
Where do they mention ray tracing?

@@clown134
Ray tracing works the same way. I’m not actually sure what the difference between ray tracing and path tracing is. Maybe other steps in the rendering process are different. Or maybe it’s just a different name for the same technique.
@@zemoxian They just explained it though, ray tracing traces light from the sun, ending up wasting precious computational time, but it's also much more accurate, while path tracing traces from the camera, tbh I'm not sure if that's the only difference because if some rays don't even reach the camera then technically it shouldn't be any less accurate, just faster? So feel free to correct me if I'm wrong or anybody more insightful than me knows more. Meh I'll just google it on wikipedia and see:
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Path_tracing
So apparently it has nothing to do from where the ray starts, so yes path-tracing is indeed just a more advanced version of ray-tracing.
Disney, keep making videos like this....I may only be 34, but I LOVE the vintage "how Disney makes its magic" type videos, the studio produced back during the Walt era!
NVIDIA RTX: Who are you?
Disney Path Tracing: I'm you, but stronger
CheesusChrist no
@@V0YAG3R Jokes aside,His right, path tracing is more advance and consuming.
Conventional ASIC on NVidias gpu cant do it with ease as its too basic, and expanding on the tech can result in major heat output and pwoer consumption..For now.
Minecarft RTX and Quake RTx both use path tracing.

If only industry wasn't so god awful when it comes to pay grade and other things I'd start studying, this stuff looks so fascinating.
Don't let pay get in the way of doing something you like!
Zack Bond If doing something i like means working my ass off 24/7, constantly being under stress and getting shit pay then i'd rather not do it
Banana Warrior Thank you for your opinion. Here is mine.
If there's another option, I'd rather enjoy every second of my days, even while pushed to my limit, than spend most of every day doing nothing I was interested in. I wouldn't even be good at the uninteresting thing, which disturbs me. No passion and no fun every day for the rest of my life just to fill the endless need to replenish my body... It's not about living that matters; it's about what you do with it that matters most. Loving and supporting others is what I'm passionate about. (I typed this using Window's on-screen keyboard because my keyboard broke to present you, and everyone else reading, with an opposite opinion to know about and consider)
I'd recommend Rimworld if you have the time for or interest in Time managment or sim games.Have a great day!
Another perspective: tons of passionate game developers get burned out due to how overworked they are, and they don't want to working in games ever again. From what I've heard, the animation industry is even worse in that respect. If you work in an environment that makes you hate doing what you used love, then there's a problem.
Sudden hostility why?
Also, the independent route is definitely becoming more and more viable by the day.
The good old fashioned Disney charm never fails. :)
One of the best explanations ever by Disney, why can't they make more videos like this
They're too busy making garbage live-action adaptations lmao.

Disney being Disney ... fabulous even for a tutorial! What good would it be if all tutorials were like this!
This is really really well explained. I'm impressed.
this is very informative and helpful in a fun way to learn. please keep making videos similar to this, disney. as an aspiring animator this really is a great thing
It's unbelievable awe every time I see a movie or technology from the Walt Disney Animation Studios. Congratulations!
Calculate and render what you will; my favorite Disney animations have been hand drawn with actual ink and paint rather than e-ink. There's just something more personal and real than the cold computations of CG.
My guess is the uncanny valley has something to do with it.
Altough there's no denying the charm of classical 2d animation, it's a lot more work requiring and considering disney is profiting just fine without I somehow doubt they'll ever return to it.
@@TheDjurze I've read that if the question is "Why?", then the answer is "Money."
@@robertlozyniak3661 I mean, yeah, disney will always do what they think will make them the most money, and I just don't think they think that's with 2d animation.
i never would've thought that the most informative video i would find on path-tracing would be from disney
I really hope you guys make more of these!
I like this, its both condescending and informative just like the old Disney stuff, really good job capturing that.
Splendid.All CGI & Rendering dev classes should start with explanations like this ;)
This is perfectly explained. Best way to understand physical rendering and global illumination. Thanks !
A much needed video right now
This is the school from the kings of animation. Not everything from this TH-cam channel has to be marketing material.

Leave it to Disney to make a whole semester worth of lecturing from class be taught all in under 10 minutes.
Yeah only that you still have no idea how to implement a raytracer after this video
Black Starz that’ll depend on your 3d software tbh
Lost Sound im talking writing the software
Indepth understanding how it‘s done
Black Starz well considering the title of the video, the point of the video was to show the basics on what it is, and how it works. Asking how to make and write a Path Tracing code is much more in depth and is a question that I think should be asked face to face to a professional tbh.
Much better than the 2 hour explanation at the RTX unveil. 👏👏👏
Nobody beats the guy who scripted this tutorial, he is a legend.

I absolutely love these videos, thank you so much for sharing information about how 3D modeling and animation is made!
It’s exciting to think about how happy the original mathematicians (e.g. Lambert, Fresnel, etc.) would be to see all of their work finally come to life like this
The presentation of this video is bizarre, vaguely unsettling not unlike I'm playing Bendy or something, and it feels like I'm in a fever dream. I love it.
I've been waiting for this a long time. Thank you.
thank you very much Disney for sharing such informative knowledge from experts themselves it's great to know what and how Disney work keep this up ( Disney fanboy)
Honestly, this is an absolutely brilliant explanation. Excellent work.
Nailed the style for this video.
Now this is path tracing
Woahhh, never really considered why batch rendering was called batch rendering before. Huh, you learn something new everyday.
This is a brilliant video - I love the vintage feel. Props to you Disney!
I can see Paolo from Tokyo takes a lot of inspiration from this Disney smiley way of speaking
Can you guys do more of this and less media industry-monopolizing, please?
You forgot to do the "RTX off" vs "RTX on" comparison.
Nvidia rtx is proprietary technology and not related to this video rendering.
The fact that this was uploaded by Disney is so wholesome for some reason
I vaguely remember watching this a few years ago. Glad to see it showed up in my recommends again. It was a bit confusing before but now I get it after watching a second time. 👍
Great cute video. The only critique I'd have other than over-doing it on the bad sound to make it seem old would be that light doesn't actually behave that way. Light spreads out in waves that go in the direction of rays and the rays are not always straight. For that small scene most if not all rays would seem straight enough but light travels different through different media. This video was a huge over-simplification.
It's a huge simplification that's used in rendering. To simulate light with a full wave model would not be at all practical - the processing requirements would be staggering. Modeling light instead using straight rays can produce an image which is almost as good, but doesn't take decades of computation to render.
Walt Disney animation Studios proudly presents a practical guide to Path tracing
If the light source(s) and certain objects in the scene are not going to move, their texture characteristics can be "baked" so that the lighting calculations do not have to be done for each frame. "Baking" basically means the lighting and surface characteristics can be made as part of the object and can be viewed from any angle with the correct look. There are also many other tricks that can be used to save processing time (such as not rendering the backsides (opposite side of objects from camera) of objects in some cases).
dude now RTX can do this insanely fast that it can produce 60+ FPS with incredible accuracy. no need to study more 🙂
If only disney had as nicely stylized animation as this youtube video
Please make more of these. As an aspiring animator this was very informational.
I love the music here. Makes me feel warm and fuzzy inside XD
This was great! Thank you.
Was waiting for Mr. DNA to tell me about rendering 'Dino-o-sawers'.
I love how this imitates the feel of those 40s Disney educational videos.
Good to see Disney is all-in for raytracing.
Wow.. This is more like something Walt would do, trying to educate aspiring animators.
Noticed this the other day, had glare on my phone screen so I shielded it from the sun, but it still had the glare, then I realised it was light bouncing off my face and onto the screen
Informative and old school,I love it!
Disney engineers are genius!!!
The Rock is reflective...because he's always covered in baby oil.
Excelente video con una muy buena explicación. Great! 👏👏👏
Some randome guy: I have a 4090
Disney animators: I am the 4090
I thought it was another goofy cartoon
Cool explanation - is this the method used by Nvidia Ray tracing or just for movies? Which is more efficient?
Giovanni P. Path tracing is a specific way of utilizing ray-tracing. NVIDIA’s RTX is hardware acceleration for ray-tracing task including path tracing. There is a demo video from a university project of Quake 2 fully path traced using RTX tech just a few days ago.
The compute power currently available is still too weak to run modern AAA photorealistic title fully ray-traced. Path tracing is the next logical step if we want to do fully ray-tracing game. (Although there are other similar methods) It is basically an optimized method of doing deep ray-tracing (multiple bounces) by attempt to only shine the rays that’s needed; however, it is still very compute expensive and could result in very noisy image is the compute power and/or the denoiser are too weak.
To explain something complex in simple terms is not so easy at all. But i think, this cartoon made it. :)
How I long for those hand drawn animations.
Good times.
Lots of modern animation uses hand drawn images intact blender 2.8 massively overhauled their grease pencil
Disney music and narrator (who imitated Steven speilberg almost always here) really makes it feel like as if i was watching a disney movie.
Why is this video unlisted?
It's not?
Also why is the video uploaded "2 years ago" but this comments is "3 years ago" 🤔🤔
I think you are the bug in the matrix, sir
Hands-down the best video I've ever seen on ray tracing, and I've seen A LOT
Really good video. Had wished a little bit more explaining why disney is reordering the rays before tracing. Short description of "caching" and that not all geometry fits into the RAM at the same time.
Incridibly deatiled. Great job. This explains a lot of waht an artist needs to know to render properly.
From an engineer who read the PBRT book.
Well that reminded me of Classic Cartoon , memories huh ^^
Great job , you guys are awesome !
Why does this give me heavy Fallout Vault-Tec vibes
I apreciate how the video is in ultra wide format
And this kids is why we use graphics cards
Darn that Hyperion renderer, ah well I do love Renderman
Even video games also have stronger ray tracing capabilities as much as Disney Animation.
It's like somebody watched the old "how to" animations from Disney but didn't get it and made this.
this is a gud explanation n clear n much fun than a technically boring xplanation that would never reach my mind
anyway great job for all of behind this beautiful course
i would like to see more n more for goodness :)
It's amazing to see how these techniques work, i hope my brain-dead:math will be ready for my Senior and College.
I like how they give it an old time effect
Please caption disney I'm hard of hearing but would love to watch but I can't follow what's being said sorry
there is captions
You follow along without sound then, random gen aren't subtitles, they are guesses
The next one should be on how to rob the public domain via copyright extension.
eloj Holding onto ownership of your works is robbing the public domain? Interesting.
+Philip Wesley some characters are trademark not copyright just like comic books
***** While the creator of Mickey is no longer alive, Disney has still invested a lot of time and money into keeping Mickey relevant and successful. Therefore them keeping the copyright makes sense because otherwise all that investment could be capitalised on by anyone once Mickey entered public domain. There would be no incentive to keep beloved old characters alive and relevant if all that work ended up being used for someone else's benefit.
***** People would still go to see a Fox made Mickey Mouse movie though so they would still be investing resources that would then be used by competitors.
***** Don't abandoned works already enter public domain though? Though I do think they stay in copyright too long- there's some stuff from like 20 years ago that the creators don't care about anymore that should be public domain. IMO if there isn't a legal version provided then there shouldn't be a problem obtaining a free version for yourself. Although once every year seems excessive, maybe once every 5 or 10? For companies with a lot of licenses the paper work would be insane if it's once a year.
this is adorable. I'm not sure how practical really, but pretty adorable!!!
Everything but video games has been rendered this way for years.
Wylie28 yeah I know. I was just referring to the actual learning from this video. I’ve been taught this general explanation many times and it hasn’t really helped me in any practical application. Maybe it’s more helpful for others but I’m not sure!
