Pixar marks 40 years of innovation while continuing to advance the technology behind animated filmmaking.

In this episode of Reshaping Workflows with Dell Pro Precision and NVIDIA RTX GPUs, host Logan Lawler and co-host Cindy Olivo speak with Dylan Sisson, Head of RenderMan Creative Engagement at Pixar. The discussion traces the evolution of rendering from the original Toy Story to Toy Story 5, highlighting the architectural and production milestones that have shaped modern computer graphics.

Sisson explains the origins of RenderMan, its transition from scanline rendering to Monte Carlo path tracing, and the development of RenderMan XPU. Designed to operate on CPU, GPU, or both simultaneously, XPU enables consistent pixel output across hardware configurations while improving interactivity and performance for artists.

Tune in for insights into Pixar’s RenderMan Challenge and Art & Science Fair at SIGGRAPH, programs that cultivate emerging talent and industry engagement.

6G isn’t coming "someday" — it’s being built and tested right now. On our final GTC Bonus episode, NVIDIA Product Marketing Manager Emeka Obiodu shares how the company is giving researchers a full-stack platform to train, simulate, and deploy next-gen wireless networks using tools like Aerial and Omniverse. By bringing AI-native telecom development onto systems like NVIDIA Spark, teams can iterate faster, test in real-world digital twins, and validate performance before a single tower is installed.
