This Video Details How Pixar Helped Win 27 of the Last 30 Oscars For Visual Effects

We’ve got an interesting video here from Wired for you to watch that details how Pixar helped win 27 of the last 30 Oscars for visual effects.

Pixar is mostly known for the fantastic CG animated films that they make, but they also created a piece of software called RenderMan that has been helping movies with their VFX work for years!

The video breaks down how RenderMan works and the magic behind it. It’s explained that it’s a user friendly program that makes the creation of computer animated characters and effects easy for those who don’t have a computer engineering degree.

The video dives into more detail about RenderMan and explains why it deserves some recognition. It’s pretty cool to see how Pixar has influenced and helped other big movies outside of their animated films.

You may not have heard of RenderMan, but you've definitely seen the incredible effects it has made possible. From Star Trek to Star Wars, from the Abyss to Terminator 2, and across all of Pixar's animated features -- RenderMan has changed the world of special effects.
