Silhouette Sketching on "Inside Out"
This new tool enables animators to sculpt silhouettes quickly, in context, without requiring special expertise or technical assistance from riggers. During the making of Disney/Pixar's "Inside Out", this new sketch-based tool saw heavy use for modifying character silhouettes as well as for fine-tuning cloth-simulation results.

Developing Joy for "Inside Out"
The main character of Pixar's "Inside Out" is Joy, a personification of emotion. The production departments were tasked with transforming an abstract concept into an animatable character that had to feel magical, yet work dependably. This required a variety of strategies and technologies, including volumes and Renderman's new geometric-area light.
