Mod-cast: Brad talks to modelers of Wall•E's Eve character & Toy Story 3

Brad Peebler of Luxology is back with another fascinating modcast; this time delving behind the scenes at Pixar Animation Studios to learn how two artists prepare characters and props for the big screen. Jason Bickerstaff and Rich Hurrey of Pixar provide fascinating insight on what it takes to create (and sometimes re-create!) high-quality 3D models of characters and props that will hold up in various shots in a feature film. The focus is on how “topology matters” as they discuss WALL-E, Presto and Toy Story 3. The interview also contains some fascinating bits about the early days at Pixar, including some funny examples of office life in the uber creative world of Pixar. The interview has a buoyant quality to it, with everyone clearly enjoying each other’s company.
