i think it wont be needed now since the technology is evolving everything is already discovered; water, lightning, etc. everyone can use automated physics for free (example: blender)
welp In my opinion, toy story 4's storyboard was a bit off a stretch. I found the ending to be kind off a little bit disappointing, as Woody and Bo Peep making out together instead of him and Jesse (well... i expected a cowboy ending) I get that Woody is completely worn off after all those years he spent with Andy and Bonnie, sure he accepted his fate that he will never be the good ol plaything, but yea, I think the circus ending was just a cover up that Pixar will discontinue the whole toy story franchise.
It was an impressive jump in Toy story 2, it’s incredible how quickly they evolved the animation fluidity and texturing! I think though it was obvious that Monsters Inc might have been the more obvious and better jump for Pixar!
I remember my mom used to mock these pixar animations as "very basic animation". now she regretted it when she's doing video editing with my sib's youtube channel. I'm telling yall, it wasn't as easy as it looks!
@lol no Do ya'll have art class? All my classmates suffered from a serious-grading art teacher (he's not strict, he just doesn't give everyone an A+ no matter how bad it is, which is what the other art teachers do). After that, they started respecting arts and design, because they know how hard it is
I love how as technology got better, they chose to put the same amount of work into making a better product, instead of doing it faster to produce the same old thing.
They even made those little cracks on Bo Peep's fringle, you know the one that appear on porcelain after years. Those tiny details really make it feel that the toon is very real...
@V they earn billions but they also spent billions on making those, because they also hire celebrities for voice acting. Plus the fact that they need to animate it, an animation like toy story from 1995 can take about 3 - 5 years to publish. Edit: ok not 3 - 5 years. Maybe 1 - 3 years.
@Jack Theflash the land of the living is next to the dead. Fat man flies at midnight. And the xenomorphs are coming. The flight has been cancelled. Language has been evolving. Must have sandwich. Three cups of coffee.
mass respect for everybody that was involved in the hard work of the making and processing of these films and the conclusions of getting involved with the making even god bless these wonderful people!
I watched the original trilogy before watching TS4 for the first time today. The effects on TS1 were so bad compared to the movies Pixar makes now but that didn’t take me away from the story. It was still so funny and the bad effects just gives it charm. The rain scene and the antique store shots in TS4 blew my mind away. The all the lighting and textures were spot on they all look hyper realistic. It’s amazing what Pixar has done and it will always be my favorite animation studio. 😁
I have a new found respect for animators. It was my dream to be one someday but I realized how patient I would have to be make these. Tim Allen and Tom Hanks said it takes 4 or sometimes 8 years just to make their movies and it makes sense see as how they manage to get to much detail in each character.
im just amazed at how solid their earlier movies are, they knew their limitations and created a limited but solid and consistent look. sometimes its not about having state of the art tech but in knowing how to apply what you've got on a vision of suitable scale, they still look a hundred times better than lumination studios
@Monkey I mean, when you get into it, it’s not as hard as it seems but it still took 20 years to get up to the point where it’s easier so it’s still really crazy
Toy Story is still impressive to this day in my opinion. For one it was 1995 and this was the first feature length computer animated film which you've got to cut it slack for. And also if you look closely its not all smooth simple graphics. You can see the faded denim on woody's jeans. You can see the plastic texture on mr potato head! Heck, If you look closely on the original woody's eyebrows you can see tiny black lines just like on his hair! Dogs were hard to make since it literally was never done before ever like name 1 thing that's cgi animated from before 1995 with a dog sure scud doesn't look good far from it but you really gotta appreciate the innovation of managing to animate a fluffy dog as realistic as possible back then.
That’s because toy story 4 Andy is how they wanted to make him look but they just couldn’t do it because of how limiting the software was back in toy story 1
I never forgot being 7 years old and seeing Toy Story 1 for the first time, I had spent my childhood watching 2D Animation so my mind was blown, I really thought the Animation was magic. People today most likely think that animation sucks but back in the 90s it was a breathtaking and groundbreaking.
In the audio commentary version of Toy Story 4, when they got to the scene where forky is "combing" dolly's hair with the wrong side of the comb, they said they originally wanted him to comb her hair correctly, but the team refused. They started to elaborate on why this was so challenging. It's real impressive how complex hair actually is.
We could but since animation takes forever making a 90 min movie with that level of fidelity is much more feasible than creating a 25 minute 10 episode show
Every time I see complex numbers like at 1:30 I have to do some math for curiousity's sake The film has 114,240 individual frames. If each frame took anywhere between 45 to 1800 minutes to render, the average of that is 923 rounded up. Multiply those and the total number of minutes it took to render is 105,443,520. That's a pretty big number! But this works was split amongst 117 computers working nonstop. So divide 105,443,520 by 117 and you get about 901,227. Now as a little side math that will help: there's 1,440 minutes in a day, 43,200 minutes in a month, and 525,600 minutes in a year Since 901k is a pretty big number, it's clear we're gonna need a year number here. So divide our 901k minutes by the minutes in a year aaannnddd…. 901,227 / 525,600 = 1.7 years Accounting for error, rounding up, etc it took between 1.5 to 2 years Just To Render this movie. Thank you all you brave artists who deal with rendering cause that shit's exhausting
My uncle was the director of Renderman for around 15 years, it was such a privilege going to Pixar animation studios and explore how my childhood was practically made :)
In the 1980s I went to almost every available animation festival, usually held at local colleges and universities. Back then Pixar could dazzle the crowd with short computer animated clips that gave us a glimpse of what was possible in the future, feature length computer animated movies.
Now that Pixar has gone this far, I appreciate what they did to the first Toy Story movie even more because they kept improving their animation. Kudos to the hardwork!
I feel like you're focusing on some wierdly specific details, like how many hairs are on sully's body, and how Pixar "perfected" making shiny surfaces. It would be more interesting to see more on composition, how they model their props and scenes, and how they go about lighting them.
@Sooraj T S firstly, Disney did not in fact invent animation, they only industrialized it. the first animated film was the 1908 "Fantasmagorie" made by Emil Cohl. Secondly, I never excluded Disney as an animation studio, but Disney isn't just a company that produces animated films, it has several corporate assets and acquisitions of many film studios, I just mentioned pixar was among them. And yes, I have seen Mickey Mouse, I have seen him when he first debuted
In my memories, the first Toy story looked good but now I just laughed so hard when I saw the dog. It looks like there’s only sort of a normalmap of bump map for the fur. But wow it looked really good for a 1995 movie.
i'd love to see pixar "remake" toy story 1 using their new tech, just so we can really see how much of a difference it made beyond just comparing the first movie with the last one
u know whats funny in toystory 1 all the models of the kids at andys party are the same because they didnt have time or more models to make diffrent characters
These people are so talented like omg! I have mad respect for all these people all the hard work they put in to make these amazing films. It just blows my mind how long it takes them to make animated films. 🤯❤️
After watching this, I really understand why you gotta appreciate the things Disney does. Despite the insane amount of time put into EVERY SINGLE FILM, they manage to capture the love and care within. It’s sensible to not only focus on the story, because they clearly cared more about visuals rather than story, which is a much harder one to pull off.
that's really nice, bringing up how hard it is to actually do this work. I do animate here and there and I know how frustrating it can be. Most of people just take these things for granted and not realize. Good video.
1:57 "60 to 160 hours to render 1 frame"... As a professional in the CG industry, I can't imagine what Pixar could possibly do in a scene that would require 160 hours to render a frame, especially given their processing resources. More to the point, they simply wouldn't be able to produce movies with those asinine numbers you're quoting. Animations are typically run at 24 or 30 frames per second, sometimes even as high as 60 fps. But if we look at the standard 30 fps, that means 1 full second of on-screen animation time would take 200 days to render (at your stated 160 hours per frame). At that rate, you're looking at 3,945 YEARS to render a 2 hour movie! I think you might want to reevaluate some of your information in this.
I'm so excited for future updates to this technology. Maybe someday we'll look back on amazing movies like Toy Story 4 and think "wow I don't remember it looking that bad"
The toys themselves still hold up pretty well in the first movie, as well as certain surfaces like Andy’s hardwood floor, it’s mostly the more complex textures that they’ve since mastered and their now flawless ability to render animals and people that makes the first movie look so different when looking back at it. Toy Story still looks really good visually, but comparing its animation to the fourth movie isn’t exactly fair, given what the first movie had to work with. Visually, everything just looks like plastic in the first one (which was a fair look to have for the time, since most of the characters were plastic).
I wouldn't say it's bad today. Sure compared to today's standards, it's very primitive, but it's still presentable and doesn't bother me viewing it all these years later.
This video is so cool and its so awesome to learn like about how many animators there are to make this movie possible . its very informative to learn about how the animators make this movie .
I didn't know animators suffer so much they deserve more and i love how they really evolved. This is so hard to make and i really learned to not be lazy to this things especially if its the things you love or not love it does matter. Putting hardwork really is the best. Nice work pixar😘😘😘.
Makes me sad in a way bc I grew up thinking that was one of the best movies I ever saw. And for people to criticize the older ones makes me upset bc that's my era.
I thought dorky kind of seemed out of place in toy story 4 and it makes so much sense now, and I love how they used him as symbolism for where they started.
As a child, I watched the first part of Toy Story. That's how I saw Toy Story 4 in 2019. In 2020, I watched the first part of Toy Story once again during broadcast on one of the TV channels. Admit that the textures were just different from the newest part. But watching the first full-length computer animation tears in the eye turns ;)
To be honest, Toy Story 4 is by far the most realistic animated films (until they make another realistic animation)! I literally thought half the movie was real life!
I always thought it would be cool if animation studios would go back and recreate the older movies. Imagine how good the orginal Toy Story would look. But of course it takes a lot of time to make a movie and they would never do it
Animators : Spends more than 30 hours over just one frame Us: Misses 10 SECONDS of the movie, just to ask for more pop corns Meanwhile animators : 👁️, 👁️ / 👄
Etan Plan He is saying its crazy how much further CG animation has come even from how good Sully looks as well. Why you so upset? His comment is indeed relevant
Jun your comment makes no sense. I’m speaking on a level of skill, technique, and ingenuity that was the fur in Monsters Inc. As the video creator mentioned it had yet to be done. Comparing a movie 18 years in the future has no relevance to my statement.
Toy story is a massive part of my life I still have the special edition I got in 2007 and it's good to know how they made them. All the pain they endured making their films.
Try being a game developer. You have to combine writing, acting, programming, CGI, nice musics etc everything at once if you want to create a good game.
I wonder how the first movie would look if they remastered it... It's insane how much time has passed since the two first movies. I remember watching them as a kid.
it's crazy how much the new toys look like actual toys. like i was watching it and it feels like I could just reach into the tv and grab one of them. they did an amazing job
it's so aesthetically pleasing to see the difference of toy story 1's animation and toy story 4's. It's still sad that Andy didn't lasted to be Woody and the gang's owner and Toy Story ending their promotions after Toy Story 4 gets released.
