A month for one frame, and it still holds up. That image also lent its name to REYES, the rendering architecture behind RenderMan. A lovely reminder of how much patience early computer art took.

It's very funny to me how the Blender monkey has become as iconic for this generation of 3D as the Renderman teapot was to early CGI.
That effect, here, isn't lost on me and I like that a lot.

Hesai Launches Kosmo to Turn Real-World Scans Into Robot Training Data
Hesai Group launched Kosmo on October 14, 2026, a 3D world data engine that combines its Kosmo One spatial camera with the Kosmo World cloud platform, converting physical environments into high-fidelity 3D digital spaces used for robot training, world model development, and immersive content creation. At the launch event, the company also announced strategic partnerships with embodied AI companies Galbot and Dexmal and demonstrated applications developed with Pixar’s RenderMan renderer and the Chinese mapping platform Amap, spanning robotics, filmmaking, and location services. Shaoqing Xiang, Hesai’s co-founder and CTO, said Physical AI needs real-world data that is accurate, affordable, and available at scale, and that meeting all three requirements at once has been a persistent problem. “Kosmo is designed to overcome that challenge, making it easier for AI developers and creators to turn real environments into data they can train on and assets they can build with,” he said. Kosmo One Capture Hardware The Kosmo One is an 8K ultra-high-definition AI spatial camera combining high-resolution lidar, a one-inch imaging sensor, and a high-precision inertial measurement unit, and it records geometry, color, texture, and camera position with microsecond-level synchronization. Hesai describes it as the world’s first AI spatial camera with an integrated...

Sure, he is sending feedback to the companies that could improve the product. But watch that video, the Meshy 3D printing video is just straight up a lie.
The last one being a 'True' I think is very generous.
And his Opinion on Cycles is stupid. Because hey, Renderman was ahead of Cycles years ago.

How can MaterialX make VFX shading more portable?
Jonathan Stone (@lucasfilm.bsky.social) and Fran Gonzalez (Pixar) share how they brought MaterialX BSDF networks to RenderMan XPU, from CPU/GPU architecture to production testing.

Why Pixar still chooses CPUs over GPUs - Craig 'n' Dave
Pixar still relies on CPUs for their final film renders — not because they’re faster, but because accuracy beats speed when every photon counts. Discover why GPUs, despite their power, aren’t perfect ...

OpenVDB Introduces SIMD Framework With Some 2~4x Performance Improvements
OpenVDB is the sparse volume data structure and tooling library maintained by the Academy Software Foundation. OpenVDB in turn is used by various CGI software for dealing with sparse volumetric data such as Houdini, RenderMan, and Cinema 4D to the open-source Blender. It's even won an Academy Award for technical achievement while now in 2026 it's finally establishing a SIMD framework for better leveraging modern x86 ISA capabilities...
