🎬 Achieving massive production complexity doesn't always require a massive team—just a bulletproof pipeline!

We are thrilled to share this #FMX deep-dive into the making of Outpost Alpha, an epic giant robot-versus-kaiju short film! Join Leif Pedersen and Rassoul Edji as they reveal the infrastructure that made this project possible.

Discover how they leveraged Pixar's #RenderMan, @sidefx #Solaris, and @awscloud rendering to build a next-gen USD workflow with EngineLab. It’s a masterclass in how smaller teams can seamlessly collaborate on insanely asset-heavy projects for ambitious results.

Calling all FMX attendees! 👋

Join Pixar's Leif Pedersen and Luminairi's Rassoul Edji today at 12:15 PM in the Bertha-Benz-Saal!

If you love giant robots and kaijus, you won't want to miss this look behind the curtain of Outpost Alpha. They’ll be diving into how a small team tackled massive production complexity by relying on SideFX Solaris, Pixar's RenderMan, and collaborative workflows on AWS.

How do you make a 3D render look like a hand-painted fairy tale? 🧚 ✨

An inspired team of ESMA creatives did exactly that on "Cursed" and achieved a beautiful illustrative aesthetic inspired by Disney classics.

Check out the full story to see how they used:
🔹 Custom-painted normals for "painterly" bark.
🔹 RenderMan AOVs to rebuild lighting in comp.
🔹 Animation "on twos" paired with 24fps.
