ABSTRACT
The Toy Story universe makes its home at small scales, with the camera sometimes just a few centimeters from surfaces where typical shader approaches are unable to provide the desired level of detail. For environments like the Second Chance Antiques Store for Toy Story 4, the Set Extensions team developed systems to generate dimensional, granular elements such as dust, small debris, and cobwebs to enhance storytelling and ambiance. In addition to improving realism, these elements help indicate how hidden or exposed an area is from human observation and elevated the sense of drama and history.

Practical lighting on Toy Story 4
SIGGRAPH '19: ACM SIGGRAPH 2019 TalksSince the adoption of Global Illumination on Monsters University and Renderman RIS on Finding Dory, Pixar has pushed closer and closer to photorealism with physically-based lighting and shading. With each show, Lighting artists have needed to create, ...
Light pruning on Toy Story 4
SIGGRAPH '19: ACM SIGGRAPH 2019 TalksPixar films have recently seen drastically rising light counts via procedural generation, resulting in longer render times and slower interactive workflows. Here we present a fully automated, scalable, and error-free light pruning pipeline deployed on ...
Coal Dust Explosion Studies on Closed Room by Numerical Emulation Technique
CICN '12: Proceedings of the 2012 Fourth International Conference on Computational Intelligence and Communication NetworksIn recent years, dust explosion is occurred more and more in Chinese coal industry and the loss is enormous. However, to prevent coal dust explosion, coal dust explosion powerful and characteristics must be determined at first, but the studies has less ...
