Prior to making "Toy Story" in 1995, Pixar's longest video was only five minutes long. It lacked an art or screenwriting department and employed fewer than 20 people. In the past 24 years, a lot has changed for what is now the world's largest animation studio. And the saga of the beloved toy gang led by Woody and Buzz Lightyear, the fourth installment of which will soon be released on screens around the world, is the ideal guide to that transformation. Pixar now employs 1,247 people, and with each new film, it improves its Render Man computer program, bringing its animated images closer and closer to reality.

  The animation of Andy has changed dramatically from the first to the third film: he now has life-like hair and facial expressions, as well as much more realistic movement. Andy's animation has changed dramatically between the first and third fills; he now has life-like hair and facial expressions, as well as much more realistic movement. Rain is another example; the fourth film opens in a storm that appears remarkably real, in contrast to the first film's rough renderings of a downpour.

**Pixar’s “Toy story” series quality evolution**

My vlog about this article:

(5min long)

Pixar forever changed animation in 1995 with “Toy Story,” the first full-length computer-animated movie. With “Toy Story 4,” it’s proving that it’s far from done changing the game.

Between 1995 and 2019, Pixar has made 21 feature-length films, four of those being “Toy Story” movies. When “Toy Story” was first released in 1995, nobody had ever seen anything like it before. And in order to bring it to life, the animators had to do some unbelievable things.

And one of the most important factors in how Pixar makes its magic happen involves rendering. Rendering saves the computer image to the perfect finished image or video frame, with lighting and motion effects. In order to render “Toy Story,” the animators had 117 computers running 24 hours a day. Each individual frame could take from 45 minutes to 30 hours to render, depending on how complex. There were a total of 114,240 frames to render. Throughout the movie, there are over 77 minutes of animation spread across 1,561 shots. They had to invent a new software, called Renderman, to handle all this footage.

According to producer Jonas Rivera, if they had to today, they could render “Toy Story” faster than you could watch the entire movie. However, the complexity of “Toy Story 4” means it can take 60 to 160 hours to render one frame.

RenderMan defines cameras, geometry, materials, and lights using the RenderMan Interface Specification. This specification facilitates communication between 3D modeling and animation applications and the render engine that generates the final high quality images. In the past RenderMan used the Reyes Rendering Architecture.

The Renderman standard was first presented at 1993 SIGGRAPH, developed with input from 19 companies and 6 or 7 big partners, with Pat Hanrahan taking a leading role. Ed Catmull said no software product met the RenderMan Standard in 1993. RenderMan met it after about two years.

In the VFX world, characters are designed then rigged by adding points of movement, which can then be manually manipulated. While limbs are typically manual based on the scene, something like fur needed to be automated, since it would take a lot more time to move each individual strand of hair.

“A Bug’s Life,” which centers on insects, didn’t have a need for fur. And there is a dog in “Toy Story,” but as you’ll notice, it’s pretty smooth, as is the dog in “Toy Story 2.” Sully, who’s tall and covered head to toe in fur, has over 1 million hairs on his body.

End.

Throughout Animation!

Pixar is a well-known company that had built its reputation on the animation industry. They forever changed the industry’s history by creating the first Toy Story in 1995, the first full length computer animated movie. Two decades and a half later, Pixar released Toy Story 4, their fourth movie of the series. Comparing the first toy story to the latest, It would seem that the first one is dull or rather plane looking than the detail and accuracy of the animation to the textures and lights. These elements are essential in making a realistic or more compelling film and as the series further extended, these elements of lighting and detail vastly improved. As seen in the photo, texture is seen to be more worked on and color seem to be more present and vibrant rather than plain and solid looking surfaces. Animators have focused on refining and increasing details as to show a semi realistic yet still an animation feel on the film. Also during the making of the first toy story, 117 computers were running 24/7 and had animators render at a long period of time. In today’s technology, it would not take much long to work on a film on the same quality. Technology has vastly advanced which also have helped professionals further improve their craft. Thus, creating a more satisfying and appealing animation that pleases the audience that it desires to attract. Aaron Gabriel M. Valentona - MS202

Evolution in Toy Story

The first Toy Story was released in 1995, and it was Pixar's first film. 27 animators worked around the clock to bring Buzz and Woody to life, with 400 computer models used in the process. Models were developed, followed by the coding of articulation and motion controls. The animators were able to make the characters move in a number of ways, from talking to jumping, as a result of this. Every shot was then passed on to eight different divisions. The animators kept to the boundaries of live-action animation to make the animation more "natural-looking" to the audience. Characters and locations would be chosen, and then the scenes would be assembled and specifics added by an animator. The movie was polished and brought to life by lighting, shading, visual effects, and other main details. In total, about 300 computers were used to create the beloved film, which obviously paid off in the end.

Then after two decades, toy story 4 happened. One of the most impressive aspects of the film that you can find right away is how the animators were able to remain true to the classic characters while improving the animation. Woody and Buzz have a more polished and put-together appearance. You will see how much detail is put into the characters if you zoom in on those scenes. On Woody's clothes, single threads can be seen, and scars from years of use are naturally engraved on Buzz's classic suit.

The Amazing Evolution of Animation from Pixar's 'Toy Story' to 'Toy Story 4'

Do you know that 'Toy Story' is the first computer-animated feature film? From the 2D way of animation, Pixar has pushed the possibilities of 3D animation using computer graphics. The team involved in the creation of Pixar and Disney's 'Toy Story' also had their trials and experimentations first before one of our very favorite childhood or animated movies, Toy Story, was finally made in 1995.

Toy Story in 1995

Like any movie, the story and the characters of Toy Story were first planned and undergone the technique called storyboarding. This is when the director, the writers, and the storyboard artists work out the plot or storylines shot by shot, brainstorming what would the scenes look like. At this time, storyboards were hand-drawn on many papers, and these were then discussed with the team.

After the storyboarding, the team cast their voice actors for the characters and record their dialogues. At the same time, the technical directors modeled the characters in three-dimensions (3D) in the computer. Then, the animators tested the models of the characters to check if the animation variables or Avars work correctly wherein the expressions of the face and body were also tested. When this was done, the characters were finally ready for the animators to make them come to life. This process actually take a lot of time as there are many controls or variables to create for each character so that they can express the right or suitable actions and emotions based on the story to the audience. Moreover, this way of animation also made the character or object movements more fluid, and the textures became richer.

While the characters are in the process of animation, the sets, background, or the environment for the scenes are designed. Afterward, it was time to add another crucial element to the film which is the music! This was where own songs or musical pieces were composed specially for the film like the song 'You Got a Friend in Me' and the vocals and instrumentals were recorded. For the final days of the film production, things were rechecked for final color, voice acting/dialogues, sound effects, and lightings.

According to the director of Toy Story, John Lasseter, what makes the production of this film so unique is the collaboration between the traditional artists, the animators, and the computer technology/changes.

Toy Story 4 in 2019

As years gone by, technology has definitely advanced. The process of animation was still the same but there are new techniques or technology that were added or developed. Storyboarding was still the first step to make when producing Toy Story 4, but at this time, it can now be digitally drawn or created using the computer or digital software as well. After the writers finished the script and the storyboard artists made the preliminary sketches for each scene, the editors cut the storyboards into a long-detailed flipbook that reflects the phase of each scene where they can already add sound effects, scratch soundtrack, and temporary dialogues that are prerecorded by the Pixar employees to also serve as references for the team and the actors. Another technique that was made was photographing the character models interacting with real-life objects to acts as their reference material as well. New computer programs and physics-based simulators were also developed where you can govern how the textures should behave on screen and where you can simulate a variety of materials like plastics, fabric, metal, wood, glass, hair, or skin. These save the animators some time as well for complex details, and these made the characters, environment, and objects became more detailed and realistic than the first 'Toy Story'.

The development of computer graphics for animation by the pioneers and creators of this film has definitely evolved and grew into many beneficial applications, and has also created many great 3D animated films.

An exploration of the evolution of CGI with Toy Story

Computer Generated Imagery encompasses all graphics that a computer generates. This includes any special effects that can be seen in movies or animation. Over time, computer generated animations have evolved to not only streamline the process of 2D animation, but also pave the way to 3D animated works. The movie Toy Story can be called as the pioneer of 3D animated films and through the same movie series, we can see the evolution of this type of animation, being refined over the years and truly becoming something extraordinary.

The first Toy Story, at the time, was a massive leap in the world of animation. This was the first time 3D animation was produced in film form and it can be clearly seen in the general look of the animation. While the beginning of the production of the film is relatively similar of that of 2D animation, the production of Toy Story had extra steps in creating models, scenes and giving each of those components life by animating them. The movement can look a bit rough at times compared to the animation now, yet it still brings about the character of each toy. The way the lighting is set up also exhibits its age. However, I can see how, at the time, it was a revolution in the world of animation.

is still overall the same. This time however, more attention to detail is given. Since technology has evolved at this time to support way more things than it did in the past, animators were able to give more realism and life to the characters. More attention can be given to lighting, texture, ambience, and the overall feel of the movie. This does take a lot of time (Toy Story 4’s case being produced for over 8 years). However, the product can be something truly spectacular.

Toy Story 4 doesn’t differ much from the feels that Toy Story 1 gives off. The whole series of Toy Story radiates the same old nostalgic vibe especially because of the music that were being used.

Albeit Toy Story being the game changer in the world of animation, it does not limit its abilities to surprise us up until this day. Toy Story 1 differs from Toy Story 4 in terms of its natural-looking aura starting from the characters to the blurriness and effects of the background. One can say that Pixar did a really great job when it comes to the smoothness and life-like appearance. Starting off with the first element that I noticed between the two films is the quality work for the pets, in Toy Story 1 a dog name Chad was almost mistaken as one of the toys due to its texture and dull animation for fur. But when a cat appears in Toy Story 4, some mistaken it as a real-life cat as it is looking like it was raw filmed.  It is no surprise that even in the doll named Bo Peep who was pretty much looking like a doll in Toy Story 1, was improved in her comeback in Toy Story 4 with her porcelain skin. It was revealed that the animators studied the physics behind the glossiness of a doll itself and applied it to the movie which was very much satisfying if I may say. What I like about Toy Story 4 is that they went back to the basic of animation, Forky, who is a spork but he couldn’t be more real. All in all with the rendering and the application of physics to animation, Pixar is unfathomable from improving such movies.

The progress of animation

Animation has been around for over a century, it all started when the Gaumont company in Paris made a fully animated cartoon through the traditional method of being hand-drawn in 1908. Since then, the art of animation has come a long way.

For the methods that they were using in Toy story 1 back then they did hand-drawn storyboarding and discussed and finalized how the scenes will pan out. And they relied on action figures and real-life models to re-create a 3d animation model. Then proceeded with tediously rigging the 3d model to make their emotions and actions life-like. The process of rigging a 3d model is much more complex back then than it is today, nowadays you can get a preset rig to fit your characters and adjust it accordingly, and even if you had to make it manually it is simpler today than it was back when Pixar was making Toy story, not to say that the process today is not hard in our current time but it is more supported and there are different guides to help you start compared to how it was back then where you had to learn it all by yourself or you had to seek out a specific person to learn it. Nowadays, you can get free software like blender, then search up guides and start immediately.

Moving on to the Toy Story 4 much of the same methods that were applied in Toy story 1 was still applicable for Toy Story 4, but this time around it was more modernized, and that the environment of the characters was much more focused on. The process was mostly the same but was up to the standard of modern entertainment. The level of details was much more paid attention to such as the different materials the toys were made from and how they would all interact with one another. Another thing was preparing the concept art for it. That decides what kind of lighting and mood will direct what kind of setting will be placed in the movie

The first toy story was one of a kind pioneering and paving the way to the art of computer animation. It was different from its peers at the time. Disney and other companies also used computer animation, but the way Pixar used it with Toy story was different and a game-changer at that time. I would like to believe that they were the ones who started a whole different generation of animation, and most of the techniques that are being used today in 3d animation and 2d animation, and modern entertainment in general. Toy story 4 serves a different purpose, its purpose is to be one of the benchmarks of the computer animation industry today. And this says a lot considering how Pixar started and how it is in our current times.

Animation Throughout the Years

Animation throughout the years has improved significantly. Fantasmagorie was the first ever animation which was on 1908. It was a hand-drawn animation and was mostly created through simple technology. But the first ever computer-animated movie was Toy Story by Pixar. Admittedly, it was also one of the first animated movies I seen as well. Although it was created in 1995, one cannot really distinguish if it was really created on that year since it was already really good. Although, if one were to be really observant when watching the movie; there are some weaknesses which can be seen. During the birthday party of Andy, the toy owner of the main protagonists; can be seen with several duplicates.

Pixar did not know yet how to create humans in their films at that time. Another example is Sid’s dog, if one were to look at it closely, it really needs some revamping.

But after some time and several films later, it is evident that they have improved quite significantly. In Toy Story 4 which was released on 2019, the toys are on a road trip and in this firm the human can now be seen with different faces and expressions.

Not only that, the cat in the film is now indistinguishable from a real one.

Just from these examples, animation has definitely improved throughout the years. It is quite impressive that even if the characters stayed the same and still looked the same, they still changed but keeping their signature looks.

Toy Story Animation

Being born in the '00s, Toy Story has been a part of my childhood. Its memorable characters and life lessons are one hell of an experience. However, the noticeable changes in the animation of every movie are quite interesting.

Due to being dominated by stop-motion films, Toy Story is a refreshing take in the film industry during the late '90s. Toy Story 1 is the first computer-animated film created by Pixar Animation Studios in 1996. The animators aimed to create a fully computer-animated feature film that borrowed techniques from live-action and traditionally animated filmmaking (Henne et al., n.d.). By implementing the rules of a live-action animation, the animators in Pixar provided a genuine feel to the audience upon the movie. The modernization paved way for advancing and improving computers that helped Pixar achieve such feats. The advanced computers helped the animators become more artistic, animations became more fluid, and utilization of more light sources. Meanwhile, Toy Story 4's use of different rendering and software programs made the film appealing. The production crew emphasizes even the smallest detail, includes scratches, dents, filth, and even dust on shelves. As mentioned, different rendering and software programs are present upon the creation of the film. To mimic the physics of light, the crew made use of software programs that drew attention to story points by being strategically placed. 

Lastly, the difference in quality and technique are apparent in both films. The difference in computer graphics played a huge role when comparing the said films. Toy Story 1's animators provided a hands-on approach to every frame as it takes 300 computers to animate one scene. While Toy Story 4 followed a process, where different members of the crew are assigned to accomplish. Even with the difference, you can't deny that both films captured our hearts.

Toy Story is an American animated movie that involved different kinds of toys that became popular for children. It is also new and somehow advanced for the film industry during their time because the technology is not so advanced. The first “Toy Story” was released in 1995, Toy Story is an animated film by Pixar Animation studios focused on its elements. It also has complex and detailed computer graphics. The developers of this animated movie focused on the fluidity of the movements, shading, visual effects, background music, and the richness of lighting. Furthermore, the animators focused on the appearances of the characters and the movement of their characters because their technology is not so great and also the lack of budget. As a result they managed to execute a polished and stunning animated movie. In 2019 Pixar Animation Studios released the fourth version of Toy story. As the technology evolved during the decades the smoothness and the realistic animation of the film satisfied the people. Moreover, The improvements in images and lighting from the first film are noticeable. “Toy Story 4” is able to surpass the expectations of many people with the right technologies, animators, and budget. It achieves a great height for the animated film industry.

Evolution of Animated Film making through Toy Story since 1995

From how videos are filmed, to how they are shot, and to how people watch them, technology has totally transformed the entertainment industry. Furthermore, with the addition of the internet, editing films has never been simpler. When Toy Story first came out in the year 1995, both kids and adults flocked to the cinema, making it the highest-grossing film for three weeks in a row. It was a watershed moment for animation, perhaps the most significant since the invention of color. It was the first full-length, 3D computer-animated film (Zorthian, 2015).

  Toy story has been a big part of our childhood, including me, as this animated film is one of my most favorite movies as a child. And still, as of today, people are still intrigued in watching this film as it shows fun and entertaining plot given the genres it provides to its audience.

  The Toy Story that was released in 1995 Pixar animators used live-action animations, revolving around lighting and other special effects, and compiling them as scenes. This was made possible with the use of the first ever computers in the world. The software used consumed 300 Mbytes per frame, provided by 117 Sun SPARC 20s. Four years in the making, the 77-minute film required 800,000 machine-hours just to produce a final cut (Snider, 1995).

  Pixar animators nowadays use rough drawings and more advance technologies for each scene and frame of the film and convert it into animation, just like in their most recent toy story film, which was released in 2019. They use these kinds of techniques and procedures that requires more advance technologies and innovation that makes the overall animation and graphics of the toy story film which includes lighting, shading, editing, rendering and visual effects improve more as time passes by.

Toy Story is indeed a Disney media series that began in 1995 with the release of Pixar Animation Studios' animated feature film of the identical title which was distributed by Walt Disney Pictures. Thanks to its original ideas and excellent animation, Pixar has established itself as the world's leading animation film studio. The studio, on the other hand, has only been around for a few decades, with Toy Story being its debut feature film, released in 1995.

Characters are developed, then rigged by adding points of movement, which can subsequently be manually manipulated in the VFX industry. While limbs are usually manual depending on the setting, fur needed to be mechanized because moving each individual strand of hair would take a long time. Fur was unnecessary in "A Bug's Life," which is about insects. In "Toy Story," there is also a dog. However, as you will observe, it is quite smooth, much like the dog in "Toy Story 2."

  Image link: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1SH40soSkaJQV9uw3eNERfe8tZnvqHTIo/view?usp=sharing

The current chief creative officer of Pixar and Disney Animation John Lasseter, the animator selected to direct Toy Story, claims that the principles established with Toy Story have held true over the past 20 years. Every tale that the Pixar team envisions necessitates something they do not know how to execute, therefore they build the technology that is required. Since Toy Story, more than 250 computer-animated films have been released around the world. That abundance, according to Lasseter, is due in part to the Toy Story team's decision to focus on story rather than show off, and on designing software to support their ideas rather than the other way around: if Toy Story had not succeeded in the manner, it did, it might not have spurred others to follow.

Since Toy Story, more than 250 computer-animated films have been released around the world. That abundance, according to Lasseter, is due in part to the Toy Story team's decision to focus on story rather than show off, and on designing software to support their ideas rather than the other way around: if Toy Story had not succeeded in the manner, it did, it might not have spurred others to follow.
