Pixar preview Escape's new Official RenderMan Courseware

At this year's Siggraph conference in San Diego, Pixar Animation Studios will be previewing the first ever official RenderMan Learning Tool.

Created by UK-based training specialists Escape Studios the courseware represents the first resource ever created that will carry the official Pixar stamp of approval.

Chris Ford, Business Director for RenderMan at Pixar Animation Studios explains the decision to work with Escape Studios, “When we decided to develop an official learning tool certified by Pixar for both new and existing RenderMan users, a solid emphasis on real world production skills and techniques was vital."

"With Escape's outstanding track record in delivering quality training to our customers, we saw a perfect opportunity to collaborate on courseware that embodies the experience of RenderMan users worldwide. The result will be quite simply the most accessible, comprehensive and in-depth RenderMan learning resource ever created.”
