Why It Takes Pixar 3 Years To Render A Movie

Informative video from Half as Interesting on YouTube. The short answer to the question posed by the video title is…there are A LOT of pixels to manage. Watch the video in full to learn more about the technical details involved (of which there are many, holy cow). It’s worth it, if only because you will learn about things like BRDF (bidirectional reflectance distribution function), which you can casually bring up in conversation with your kids during your next Pixar movie night to make them think you are super smart.
