Pixar's Drawing Tool

Posted by michael on from the monday-night-football dept.

May Kasahara writes "Millimeter has an interesting look at Pixar's Review Sketch tool, one of this company's latest pieces of proprietary software. It's cool in that it allows directors to draw on top of CG images with a Wacom Cintiq, essentially bringing elements of traditional hand-drawn animation into the 3D realm. The article discusses how the tool came about, how it was used during the production of The Incredibles, and even includes a discussion of the tool's naming."

    No, no, no, that's not how you make a Slashdot post. The steps to a proper Slashdot post are well demonstrated by the grandparent post:


    6) post something to the effect of "in soviet Russia, stupidity proves you"
    7) Profit!
