Celebrating my 25th Anniversary at Pixar!

In good company with the Pete Docter and Jonas Rivera ...
and with great stories of the "good old days" from the all the other Pixar Folks at the anniversary lunch ... 25 years went fast!

#Pixar #RenderMan #25thAnniversary

That’s not a watercolor.
It’s a RenderMan render ...
with the 3D model right beside it.

At #AnnecyFestival, I’ll showcase how I brought this concept to life using the upcoming release of XPU.

It’s 77f degrees in Lucern, but didn’t stop me from eating the fondue

Thanks to all the folks I've made along the way,
