Anders Langlands began his career at MPC in shading and rendering R&D. There he wrote the first two and a half versions of their central shader library and developed their scene-referred lighting pipeline, trying to walk the fine line between physical accuracy and pragmatism in production. Most recently he was MPC’s VFX Supervisor on X-Men: Days of Future Past. Since then he has moved to Solid Angle where he continues to work on applying physically based practices to production challenges.
