Lighting to compositing pipeline I worked on earlier this year. Allows lighters in 3D animation/VFX studios to easily see their renders comped in real time using Katana and Nuke.

Definitely recommend The Wild Robot for any 3D animation fans. Perfectly executed, looks gorgeous, and technically brilliant.

The team at Dreamworks should be very proud

Best panel I attended at #sxswsydney was this great session sharing trauma on the state of games dev in Aus. But in a good, positive way - look it in the face to make it better. Starring @chloeappleby.bsky.social @barmearme.bsky.social and Dr Jaime Garcia, Ally McLean-Hennessy, and Lauren Szmandiuk.
