Abstract:
A new modular architecture for the film “Rio” enabled artists to procedurally generate and animate vast quantities and varieties of detail, from flocks of birds in windswept jungles to thousands of costumed characters at Carnaval, while improvements to voxel rendering and sparse octree geometry caches facilitated ray-tracing this complexity.
