It has been a long time since I've witnessed a Disney film that felt 'Disney' to me, especially one without a Princess or random musical breakouts (aside from Gazelle). It was fun, deep, and yet packed with moments for the parents. Love it!
+Thagyr Lilo and Stitch was the last Disney movie I felt I wanted to watch. It really escaped that Disney formula. It's good to see them doing that again.
Really? Not even Wreck it Ralph? (I don't think princess Vanellope really counts as a princess movie) A lot of people seemed to dismiss that movie as being a "video game" movie.
I actually wish it had musical moments. It would have felt more Disney and I know not everyone likes it, but I personally love when characters break into song. It may be annoying, out of place, etc. for some people, but it makes it more fun to me.
yeah it was packed. Packed with tonnes of references, which i found some to be one of the most enjoyable things in a kids movie. Lookin at walter and jessie and ram
Disney has once again really blown me away by their insane attention to detail. You can feel a greater connection to the characters in the movie because of the realism. Absolutely gorgeous.
That’s not how modeling works. You usually have a small number of guide hairs you shape first, then populate the model with hairs, then groom the hairs and edit the color and weight.

+Vighnesh Sivakumar Inside out had simple characters and a plot that's been done many times before. The animation wasn't particularly groundbreaking either. And again, it's that same, stupid and predictable plot that every buddy movie has, and no real underlying message. Zootopia has an original plot, deep and interesting characters who aren't just one trope (and from whom they don't have to break all established logic in the movie to be able to have a good character, looking at you Joy) and a powerful message that isn't as in your face as something like Ferngully, but more subtle. If you ask me, Zootopia is better that Inside Out by a tenfold.
I really liked how the movie subtly but yet powerfully showed the point. there was a whole world with details built around it, which gave it a feeling of purpose beyond "yeah people,stop being racist!" while not diluting the message. the balance achieves what a heavy-handed approach doesn't and incentives viewers to care for the characters in the process.

I was going to say the same thing, they didn't really discuss how it works at all. Heck, if you don't know a little bit about CGI you wouldn't know what a shader was. I mean great, you can render more fur but HOW does that work? Presumably there is some clever system to be able to visualise it in real-time but it wasn't at all clear. Then there is the pre-vis lighting, how does that work? They just showed us random shots with no explanation of what it means or how it works. Seeing what they have to work while developing is the whole interesting part, the limitations before the final render, they showed us next to nothing.
Zchelmer Joash Gamboa I'm waiting on the Bluray with baited breath. I'm expecting some good content on there. I think this is the first time in years I plan to buy a movie at launch.
Nothing wrong with the Despicable Me movies though, they aren't meant to be on the same level as Disney movies, just a bit of fun. Minions was a horrible cash-in though and it really showed. If every movie had to be to the same quality as this we wouldn't get very many movies.
Dark Legend I didn’t really like the movie... But you can’t say “these people have their time to make a great animation [...] unlike minions.” You can see how great is the animation and the quality of it. While the story was pretty lame, I was mind blown with the quality of the animated movements and the small details in everything. It takes a lot of effort to make something that good, and you can see how much love they put into it. So yeah, talking about story... it was shit, I admit it. But talking about animation, Minions was pretty good. Amazing I may say. (Sorry for bad English!)
Same, I love Zootopia, but I think my number one favorite Disney movie is Big Hero 6. My third favorite is Frozen, yes, Let It Go got overplayed a bit, but that movie made me want to hang out with my younger sister. Zootopia is my fourth favorite, my second favorite is Tarzan, the animated one, not the remake of it, though I didn't mind that.
I will never get over the amount of attention and effort Disney gives thier movies like they spend, what, 2, 3 years? working to create this 2 hour film that wil probably get completely underappreciated and underrated, thrown under the stupid kids movies bus, and yet they never stop putting so much love into these movies. and that is something I have a very hard time imagining anybody doing, but they do it. That means a lot to me and so does this movie
Marauders Geek It's more loved than just being a "kids movie", though that's outside the industry which usually does throw these under a bus and also gives the Oscar to the movie that makes the most money.
yeah because they have a massive budget and most, if not all, Disney animated films are hits. The reason for all of this effort is because they have a budget, other animators don't have a budget and are not paid. For example, animated film MAD GOD, is created by one man alone and has a massive ton of effort put into it, that's underrated, don't tell me Disney films are underrated. You can still enjoy the movies that is fine, but don't forget that there are other people out there who are trying to accomplish the same goal as Disney who need just as much support.
I think it's almost better off to leave Zootopia be a one time movie. Usually second movies end up ruining the original/whole thing together ((Espically with Disney I must say /: )) Yes, it'd be great to have Zootopia 2 but still... The originals are always the best!
Disney has changed alot since they're hand drawn films. And I doubt they would ruin this franchise by making a crappy sequel xD And originals may be the best at times, but just look at what they did with Toy Story, no? :D Anyway's we all know were all going to go watch the second Zootopia xD
I have a feeling they will they made alot of money in the box office, and the movie won the academy awards, I just really hope that they will do a more light and fun story in the sequel or if they decide to make a animated series

Every time I see a movie clip of this, I just pause and replay small sections, just to watch Nick or Judy emote, watching characters move. Every time an animal scurries away in fright... or how Nick's ears flatten to his head and his teeth bare themselves a bit with his anger... or how Judy's rabbit ears are so expressive! The detail just ASTOUNDS me. I think I won't even be able to finish the DVD I'll buy, because I'll be rewinding and staring repeatedly.
Stop pretending it’s not a furry movie at the vey least it’s the Gateway to becoming a furry, some kids start with Disney movies like this, and enter the furry community that way, that doesn’t mean this movie is just for furries...
It's so interesting how films continue to push the boundaries to newer and greater heights. Animating *millions of individual hair follicles.* Imagine showing that to Walt back when he was individually drawing every single frame of Mickey Mouse.
This...is mind blowing. Even after like really appreciating the whole fur and animation and movement and expression, there are things I didn't realise like fucking light and shadows man. obsessed.
INFINITF2 Look into universities that have special CG programs and watch the student films. There's a lot of amazing schools out there teaching this stuff, the trouble is just figuring out which ones are good! I'm attending university of Hertfordshire right now studying animation, and I couldn't recommend it more
The animation for Zootopia is some of the best I have ever seen! The detail is amazing, one thing that impressed me in the movies was that I could see individual hairs in Judy's ear 😵 Different animals fur will look different, like how Mrs. Otterton's fur is sleek with an almost metallic sheen, like a real otter! Nick's fur is all floofy, and I love the dynamic of that tail... This movie is great story AND animation wise. Love it to bits.
Honestly when I heard the name and saw the posters for this movie I thought this would be another stupid poorly made kids film. I was sooooooo wrong, besides the amazing story and message and how genuinely funny it was, it was so well made. When I saw the animation I was blown away, a lot of it looks so real it really seems like they just filmed actual hair/leaves/whatever in real life.
I'd argue that most Disney CGI movies haven't been "poorly made kids films". Its only their inherently kids characters like Tinkerbell and even there I have heard that some of them were actually quite good.
Alex Atkin I agree with you, they aren't poorly made. And I enjoyed many of them as a kid. I guess it's just my adult cynicism. There have been very few made recently that I really enjoyed.
+Doctor Jones (to clarify we're only told how great the system is without any explanation of how it's done I know this isn't a siggraph paper but still)
Dan Rossner I feel they said almost enough, almost. Yet I know I wouldn't want to spill the beans on my brand new animation technology if millions were watching, including other animators from rival companies.
I wouldn't. Sequels are usually always watered down versions of the first movie. They're rarely as good. hell, half of the time they're just cash-grabs with less effort. Plus, just knowing there's only one movie.. it kinda puts a feeling in your soul.. a true feeling of that ONE movie being only one unique world.. I can't really describe the feeling, it's hard to explain.
+The Toontastic Toon That is literally your own perspective only. This movie has the capability to keep discovering more of this world and the characters as well, the way it ended makes me think that they're probably going to continue it.
You Never Knew guys same Characters and to another adventure World New Characters can be out to Zootopia 2 more ideas to add to the movie more story lines to plot story. Maybe we doing know yet let's just wait until years come out:)
I have a bucketfull of respect and admiration for the technical teams of Zootopia and other animated films. Its amazing to see the devotion and dedication of these people towards their work.
Your passion can be anything you want and feel like it should be, Becoming an animator means you should practice whenever you can. You should spend your time getting to know how to animate, what you can use to animate, and how to improve what you know how to animate with and there are SO MANY DIFFERENT WAYS TO ANIMATE
Geez, how many months did it take just to render all that; let alone how many computers they ran in tandem to do so?! I don't remember ever looking forward to a theater release as much as I have for this. Even waiting for almost a year with nothing but a single piece of concept art was agonizing. I even considered going back to watch this again, and that's unicorn rare or me. However, I'll hold off for the Blu-Ray release so I can relish in all that fur in 4K. With all the work that went into these assets and tech, and with this being Disney and all, I hope they do a lot more Zootopia. *My wallet is ready!*
I was an animator back in the days of Softimage and Maya, I've since moved on (stupidly) to other things. Watching videos like these fires up my inner passion to get back into it. The lighting in Zootopia is stunning!! If you're just starting out in life, chase your dreams and not wealth like I did...
This movie is one of my favorites. It's super cool and it has an amazing story, and it's gorgeous. There's just one complain I have... Bunnys have WAY MORE hair than that. Like, seriously, once I grabbed one, and it felt like it was just skin, bones and A LOT of hair, hahahahaha. But talking serious, all of the animal fur looks so soft and cute and real in this movie, it's super amazing.
Last night I had a dream that a new zootopia was coming out. It was about Nick and Judy having to do something with working on a crime scene at a hospital. It was either called "Zootopia 2 Mammal Medic" or "Zootopia Animal Ambulance"(forgot which) It was scheduled to come out sometime in 2017. (It actually doesent sound too crazy to be something asides from the name lmao)
THEY TOOK 8 MONTHS TO COME UP WITH A SHADER FOR THE FUR!!!!!! MY FREAKING DAMN!!!!!! WOOOOWWWWWW!!!!!!! XD!!!!!!! I can only imagine how complex it is... my gosh...
I love Disney movies without princesses. They show a better story and message to the viewer. Other than teaching us about unrealistic love, we can learn about being strong in the real world while still enjoying the film.
I'm an adult but really like watching cartoons. most popular review like the drawing of each character, I once dreamed of becoming a cartoon artist thanks to this masterpieces
Ginpie777 Yeah you're right, they worked really hard perfecting the movie out of passion to make a great movie children and their families and film critics too. Except for those TWO JERKS on Rotten Tomatoes that gave the movie a rotten score. Damn it, if it weren't for those two the movie could be at 100% right now. Original comment is meant to be a joke BTW.
I'm quite into playing around in 3D software as a hobby and I hadn't heard of a single thing they mentioned in this video. The talk about the fur was quite interesting but there are already so many hair systems that do great hair, I'm wondering why they felt they had to create their own from scratch that took 8 months of work and probably cost a fortune. Videos like this are such teases, they give you a tiny glimpse behind the scenes but you're left wanting to know more and they don't want to drill down into the dirty details because they think that's boring to the average person to hear. Looking forward to seeing the movie.
AngryApple unless you've used them you wouldn't know but you can see as much of the fur as you want before rendering. you decide how many hairs and how complex each hair is, too many and the viewpoint slows down but to get around that you can quickly cache the fur to check it before a final render. I've never had a problem using fur and the program I use is pretty old now nothing like as cool as the newest plugins.
+Clay Mann From From what I heard in another video, they had to make their own because the one they had before had limits that zootopia needed to break, Nick touching the hair of Bellweather as an example. According to them they couldn't do it without problems. Maybe was used for other details. I wouldn't know though due to my inexperience with 3d animation in general.
I never quite liked how the fur looked in Zootopia, it triggers that "uncanny valley" effect in my brain. But at the same time I can apreciate it as a technological achievement.
I saw the movie and it was amazing it's my new favorite movie you should make a sequel. Also what's that program you used to animate and create nick wiled because I wanna use it to draw him myself because he's my favorite character
To everyone saying this is all about furries, the definition is a fan of anthro animals. Anthros are animals(or anything) with human characteristics. So no, theyre anthros, not furries.
Anyone remember when Pixar was making The Incredibles, and they had a hell of a time getting the hair engine to behave? We've come a long way since then. Zootopia just flat-out wouldn't have been possible to make even just a few years ago.
+Philo Wintercoat I know! I remember how intimidated they were with doing Violet because she had "long hair". It's insane how far technology has come since then :D
what kind of computers are you using because its cool to know the software but its just as cool to know the specs of the PC you use to make the movie so i know how far behind i am
deathbot117 Its not rendered on some typical pc, things like this are rendered on some sort of super computer. Even rendering on a high end pc would take ages to render every frame of the movie
Cameron Teeple i know its not some standard PC but i want to know what they use as it takes loads of memory to render a dozen of these guys and they have several hundred on screen many times in the movie
There are really _two_ sets of computers involved here: the ones used by the artists to model, texture, light and animate the characters and environments; and the ones that crank out frames of the final movie. The ones used in the creation process have to be able to handle displaying 3D stuff in real-time, much like a video game. This is mitigated by the fact that parts of a scene can be shown or hidden as necessary so you can concentrate on the one part you're currently working on without everything else dragging your framerate down. Other techniques can also be used to make large scenes easier for one computer to handle: objects can be represented by something simpler, like dots, if you're looking at (for example) the overall movement of a big crowd; characters also usually have multiple "levels of detail" (often abbreviated to LOD), so someone in the distance - where you can't make out much detail anyway - is only made up of relatively few polygons and low-res textures that don't consume much memory, while someone close to the camera gets lots of detail because that's where it really matters. The ones used to render the movie are in "render farms", which are just a whole lot of computers in one place, splitting each frame up into little blocks for each computer to work on individually before "handing in" their little bit of the job to be assembled into the frame. These computers tend to be more optimized for raw number-crunching power, rather than real-time 3D graphics (at least I think so; I don't work in that industry, so a lot of this is educated assumptions). Even at this stage, scenes are often broken down into smaller parts (e.g. background environment, foreground environment, characters, steam and smoke, atmospheric dust and haze, etc.) which are then layered together in a compositing program to produce the final image; this means that while the render farm is focusing on one layer of the scene, it doesn't have to use up memory "knowing about" objects that don't have a visible effect on what it's rendering. Obviously, I don't know the actual specs of the computers Walt Disney Animation Studios is using, but it's reasonable to assume they can afford to deck out their machines pretty nicely in the specific areas where they need to be decked out, and save money on the stuff that isn't necessary for each machine's purpose (i.e. you probably won't find many blinged-out, LED-festooned cases in their render farms, but you'll find oodles of RAM and general-computing-friendly graphics cards). Hope that provides some food for thought!
I think that's quite accurate. Most of the final rendering isn't done by the artist's computers, but separate computers that work for a long time. Most intermittent rendering is done at a much lower level of detail to get the *idea* of what they're working with, for the sake of speed. I assume high LOD renders would be used sparingly, since they would take a long time.

This movie is great story AND animation wise. Love it to bits.
All good but one thing they missed out was the LED lights on the police car don't blink like they are LED, they blink like they are halogen
+wakawaka545 Yep, but i dont think it matters much anyway
TF when you actually learn something from school XD
+wakawaka545 - Well maybe they are halogen... very small halogen lights.... :)
Using a powerful laptop, I already have problems with rendering a single highly detailed fur creature. These blew my mind off
Honestly when I heard the name and saw the posters for this movie I thought this would be another stupid poorly made kids film. I was sooooooo wrong, besides the amazing story and message and how genuinely funny it was, it was so well made. When I saw the animation I was blown away, a lot of it looks so real it really seems like they just filmed actual hair/leaves/whatever in real life.
I'd argue that most Disney CGI movies haven't been "poorly made kids films". Its only their inherently kids characters like Tinkerbell and even there I have heard that some of them were actually quite good.
Alex Atkin I agree with you, they aren't poorly made. And I enjoyed many of them as a kid. I guess it's just my adult cynicism. There have been very few made recently that I really enjoyed.
Brilliant animation
What an impressive list of no information :V
But, fur technology...
:(
+Doctor Jones (to clarify we're only told how great the system is without any explanation of how it's done
I know this isn't a siggraph paper but still)
Dan Rossner
I feel they said almost enough, almost. Yet I know I wouldn't want to spill the beans on my brand new animation technology if millions were watching, including other animators from rival companies.
bullshit all the way 👌👌👌
People think making CGI is a matter of pressing one button, in reality you need to spend 8 months developing a decent fur shader alone..
Zootopia 2.
If that happened everyone would be happy.
I wouldn't. Sequels are usually always watered down versions of the first movie. They're rarely as good.
hell, half of the time they're just cash-grabs with less effort.
Plus, just knowing there's only one movie.. it kinda puts a feeling in your soul.. a true feeling of that ONE movie being only one unique world.. I can't really describe the feeling, it's hard to explain.
+The Toontastic Toon
That is literally your own perspective only. This movie has the capability to keep discovering more of this world and the characters as well, the way it ended makes me think that they're probably going to continue it.
Yeah...
but still
sequels are usually never as good
that's the majority's perspective
You Never Knew guys same Characters and to another adventure World New Characters can be out to Zootopia 2 more ideas to add to the movie more story lines to plot story. Maybe we doing know yet let's just wait until years come out:)
I hear that the sequel will be released in November 24 2021
I have a bucketfull of respect and admiration for the technical teams of Zootopia and other animated films. Its amazing to see the devotion and dedication of these people towards their work.
These guys really did an awesome job with the technology and animation. Well done!
I can't believe they used Xgen to create hair! I'm using it right now, that's crazy
They created Xgen.
And then we have to consider how amazed everyone was when Monsters Inc. had early fur technology - we sure have come a long way.

Judy: we're in a really big hurry!
Flash: I am... on
Judy: it?
Flash: Break
Judy: ARGGHHH!!!
me: HAHAHA!!! XD LOL! gotta watch that agian!
awesome it must have been the hardest movie ever
I mean, weren't you there?
Owldude000 what
He's referencing your name.
MintyLikesSushi oh
gee Judy, why do you look pissed in your profile lol
if only my animations looked this great!
all I have is flipaclip. and ms paint..
stingy Try using blender. It's free. (If you don't know how to use it, watch blender guru's tutorials on youtube)
Gaben nah
ms paint, cheap af, good af
Amazing all around, loved the story in this movie as well. It really hit hard because it's so relatable.
Now I know what I want to be when I grow up, an animator.Mom: Good luck with that kid.
I want to animate too
An animator is a much more noble profession than a blood sucking lawyer. ;)
Exactly what i said to my mother but instead she replied:"Why can't you be a fashion designer like me?!?!?!"
Your passion can be anything you want and feel like it should be, Becoming an animator means you should practice whenever you can. You should spend your time getting to know how to animate, what you can use to animate, and how to improve what you know how to animate with and there are SO MANY DIFFERENT WAYS TO ANIMATE
I like how the planners made it so even before the Emitt Otterson case it was giving Judy more opportunities.
It makes you realise just how difficult making an animated movie really is
THEY ANALYZED THE FUR ON A MICROSCOPE TO MAKE IT ACCURATE IM SO DONE THIS IS AMAZING
Geez, how many months did it take just to render all that; let alone how many computers they ran in tandem to do so?!
I don't remember ever looking forward to a theater release as much as I have for this. Even waiting for almost a year with nothing but a single piece of concept art was agonizing. I even considered going back to watch this again, and that's unicorn rare or me. However, I'll hold off for the Blu-Ray release so I can relish in all that fur in 4K.
With all the work that went into these assets and tech, and with this being Disney and all, I hope they do a lot more Zootopia.
*My wallet is ready!*
it took 8 months to just create an accurate fur shader?? OH MY! Effort goals😀😍😍
Although I wasn't happy with the movie itself, I appreciate all the work and love put into it.
Never in my life did I expect to hear or read the phrase 'fur technology'.
My assumptions are never quite right.
I was an animator back in the days of Softimage and Maya, I've since moved on (stupidly) to other things. Watching videos like these fires up my inner passion to get back into it. The lighting in Zootopia is stunning!! If you're just starting out in life, chase your dreams and not wealth like I did...
it's probably individual scenes
A bit of both I would expect.
i love the attention to detail disney gives its why there are where they are
VFX and fur technology is awesome!
-HELP I LOVE THIS MOVIE REALLY MUCH-
This movie is one of my favorites. It's super cool and it has an amazing story, and it's gorgeous.
There's just one complain I have... Bunnys have WAY MORE hair than that. Like, seriously, once I grabbed one, and it felt like it was just skin, bones and A LOT of hair, hahahahaha. But talking serious, all of the animal fur looks so soft and cute and real in this movie, it's super amazing.
The way Just smiles remind me of smiles in older Disney movies. it seems like a throwback to that.
Don't you mean 'Zootopia's _Furry_ Technology"?
In all seriousness, loved this film. Great one!
im just wondering, how do fucking disney turn human into a furry
Panzer Shafter Anthros! and you suck. furry hate is stupid if do your research.
Kimkii The Fox Wow wtf, calm down holy scheisse, wtf are you trying to say?
Kimkii The Fox go to auschwitz, kuss mein arsch
such a beautifully made movie
Last night I had a dream that a new zootopia was coming out. It was about Nick and Judy having to do something with working on a crime scene at a hospital. It was either called "Zootopia 2 Mammal Medic" or "Zootopia Animal Ambulance"(forgot which) It was scheduled to come out sometime in 2017. (It actually doesent sound too crazy to be something asides from the name lmao)
its a really good movie it was a touching movie
THEY TOOK 8 MONTHS TO COME UP WITH A SHADER FOR THE FUR!!!!!! MY FREAKING DAMN!!!!!! WOOOOWWWWWW!!!!!!! XD!!!!!!! I can only imagine how complex it is... my gosh...
Furries were born today
[Hatsumi Bamboo]: Maybe they meant people turned into furries? Just a thought.
Fans of anthros are called furries
Unicorn Workhorse FUUUUUUUUUUU
Minnowood fans of anthros are called mental animal fuckers
Mint Chocolate Chip Lmao
Did they say Hyperion? Borderlands irl confirmed.
Literally exactly what I thought lol
I believe it was a reference to the name of Disneys first studio before they moved into the new one after the success of Snow White
Yeah, they had what they call the Hyperion Studio. Videogames didn't invent every name under the sun. Borderlands had to take it from somewhere.

I loved this movie omg
This movie is simply legendary
They diserved that Oscar :D!!
Nick has 2 milion hairs
My PC: don't even think about it
Happy 3 year anniversary of this video!! This video was published on March 4th 2016.
Still my favorite movie.
I love Disney movies without princesses. They show a better story and message to the viewer. Other than teaching us about unrealistic love, we can learn about being strong in the real world while still enjoying the film.
Ah it just kills me how good they are... I would love so much to work at Disney or at Pixar!
I'm an adult but really like watching cartoons. most popular review like the drawing of each character, I once dreamed of becoming a cartoon artist thanks to this masterpieces
The amount of hard work and devotion the animators gave to satisfy hard core furries... incredible
+Blue Winter they worked hard to make a great movie, not to satisfy furries you dolt
Ginpie777 Yeah you're right, they worked really hard perfecting the movie out of passion to make a great movie children and their families and film critics too.
Except for those TWO JERKS on Rotten Tomatoes that gave the movie a rotten score. Damn it, if it weren't for those two the movie could be at 100% right now.
Original comment is meant to be a joke BTW.
the movie has an underlining that we all can live peacefully together ! i like that - hits a nerve nowadays! :)
This is cool i watched it lately and I'm still replaying it until now I'm addicted to this movie 💞💞
I'm quite into playing around in 3D software as a hobby and I hadn't heard of a single thing they mentioned in this video. The talk about the fur was quite interesting but there are already so many hair systems that do great hair, I'm wondering why they felt they had to create their own from scratch that took 8 months of work and probably cost a fortune.
Videos like this are such teases, they give you a tiny glimpse behind the scenes but you're left wanting to know more and they don't want to drill down into the dirty details because they think that's boring to the average person to hear.
Looking forward to seeing the movie.
no of these other fur systems allow the animator to see the hair in the animation step ;)
AngryApple unless you've used them you wouldn't know but you can see as much of the fur as you want before rendering. you decide how many hairs and how complex each hair is, too many and the viewpoint slows down but to get around that you can quickly cache the fur to check it before a final render. I've never had a problem using fur and the program I use is pretty old now nothing like as cool as the newest plugins.
+Clay Mann From From what I heard in another video, they had to make their own because the one they had before had limits that zootopia needed to break, Nick touching the hair of Bellweather as an example. According to them they couldn't do it without problems. Maybe was used for other details. I wouldn't know though due to my inexperience with 3d animation in general.
it's official, Handsome jack has taken over Disney. 2:29
shit and loot- I mean, shoot and loot.
is amazing :0
you know the effect paid off when you just want to pet Judi's tiny little nosey SO BAD!
When I go to college, I want to study animation so I can become an animator for Disney ❤️
*Right now, I can only make stick figure animations*
good GOD this stuff must take over 9000 years to render
The animation and attention to detail in the character designs in this movie is amazing, it is unfortunate I don't really like the movie, though.
I never quite liked how the fur looked in Zootopia, it triggers that "uncanny valley" effect in my brain. But at the same time I can apreciate it as a technological achievement.
I'd love to be able to watch them work for just a day
One word
PIXAR
Flash: "I'm on a break..."
Where is this scene?
You guy know what?

There's no singing in zootopia
They did a really good job with fur
We've gone a long way since Monsters inc.
0:15 RIP Disney Infinity...
I saw the movie and it was amazing it's my new favorite movie you should make a sequel. Also what's that program you used to animate and create nick wiled because I wanna use it to draw him myself because he's my favorite character
Movies like these reminds us why Pixar and Disney are the best!!!
To everyone saying this is all about furries, the definition is a fan of anthro animals. Anthros are animals(or anything) with human characteristics. So no, theyre anthros, not furries.
ok
"Furry" is also a short way to say "anthropomorfic animals". Therefore, is the same thing.
So much computation!!
Woah,
*Technology!*
I wish the software was for sale it would be a life saver!
A lot of the tech gets incorporated in other 3d suites. Blender for example can use Pixar's Renderman engine, Opensubdiv and many more.
Thank you ill check it out :)
IT was made in maya, and runs for about $4000 per year! But, as the previous person stated, blender is free
This movie was a masterpiece.
this is really cool
i admire these people they make ir so real when i grow up i want yo he a animator and join them and i wont stop until i reached it
good luck!
Anyone remember when Pixar was making The Incredibles, and they had a hell of a time getting the hair engine to behave?
We've come a long way since then. Zootopia just flat-out wouldn't have been possible to make even just a few years ago.
+Philo Wintercoat I know! I remember how intimidated they were with doing Violet because she had "long hair". It's insane how far technology has come since then :D
This is amazing, fur real
this is so incredible!!1
what kind of computers are you using because its cool to know the software but its just as cool to know the specs of the PC you use to make the movie so i know how far behind i am
deathbot117 Its not rendered on some typical pc, things like this are rendered on some sort of super computer. Even rendering on a high end pc would take ages to render every frame of the movie
Cameron Teeple i know its not some standard PC but i want to know what they use as it takes loads of memory to render a dozen of these guys and they have several hundred on screen many times in the movie
There are really _two_ sets of computers involved here: the ones used by the artists to model, texture, light and animate the characters and environments; and the ones that crank out frames of the final movie.
The ones used in the creation process have to be able to handle displaying 3D stuff in real-time, much like a video game. This is mitigated by the fact that parts of a scene can be shown or hidden as necessary so you can concentrate on the one part you're currently working on without everything else dragging your framerate down. Other techniques can also be used to make large scenes easier for one computer to handle: objects can be represented by something simpler, like dots, if you're looking at (for example) the overall movement of a big crowd; characters also usually have multiple "levels of detail" (often abbreviated to LOD), so someone in the distance - where you can't make out much detail anyway - is only made up of relatively few polygons and low-res textures that don't consume much memory, while someone close to the camera gets lots of detail because that's where it really matters.
The ones used to render the movie are in "render farms", which are just a whole lot of computers in one place, splitting each frame up into little blocks for each computer to work on individually before "handing in" their little bit of the job to be assembled into the frame. These computers tend to be more optimized for raw number-crunching power, rather than real-time 3D graphics (at least I think so; I don't work in that industry, so a lot of this is educated assumptions). Even at this stage, scenes are often broken down into smaller parts (e.g. background environment, foreground environment, characters, steam and smoke, atmospheric dust and haze, etc.) which are then layered together in a compositing program to produce the final image; this means that while the render farm is focusing on one layer of the scene, it doesn't have to use up memory "knowing about" objects that don't have a visible effect on what it's rendering.
Obviously, I don't know the actual specs of the computers Walt Disney Animation Studios is using, but it's reasonable to assume they can afford to deck out their machines pretty nicely in the specific areas where they need to be decked out, and save money on the stuff that isn't necessary for each machine's purpose (i.e. you probably won't find many blinged-out, LED-festooned cases in their render farms, but you'll find oodles of RAM and general-computing-friendly graphics cards). Hope that provides some food for thought!
I think that's quite accurate. Most of the final rendering isn't done by the artist's computers, but separate computers that work for a long time. Most intermittent rendering is done at a much lower level of detail to get the *idea* of what they're working with, for the sake of speed. I assume high LOD renders would be used sparingly, since they would take a long time.
How can you tell the people behind the movie are sophists?
1: the story
2: a five minute interview about "fur technology" without a single mention of a single detail
3:20 that face tho
xgen is horrible....glad you had 8 months to perfect it and a small army of folks to master it....for a smaller studio this process is gut wrenching.
