source?

Interesting.
Don't you just love articles written by people who don't know the subject,
for people who won't know the difference?
Ray Tracing ala POV isn't used in those movies -- it's far too slow. And
POV is known for its great curves while movies use meshes.

I always thought POV was much sexier.

Er...
You know when you've been raytracing too much when:
You start having dirty ideas about your raytracer...

Personally, I was wondering why IBM used our little benchmark
instead of one that's generally recognized as authoritative.

Quoting from a recent post to CGRR:
+-----------
|Somebody was asking about ray tracing? In Antz, we used
|ray tracing to compute reflections on a bunch of shots.
|The bubble and most of the water sequences used ray tracing
|all over the place. Some of the less noticeable uses
|can be found on the bottles and Saran Wrap in the picnic
|sequence, the whiskey bottle in the background of a few
|shots after the campfire, and the crystals in the queen's chamber.

+-----------
and Larry Gritz did a presentation at SIGGRAPH on how to use
BMRT and PRMan together. They used BMRT's raytracing to do the
bottles in A Bug's Life. (Not that I remember the bottles...
guess I'll have to wait to see it again on video.)

LOL
Actually I just wanted to comment on that first comment:

Movies do use meshes, but because high-end programs use NURBS this isn't a
problem. For example, programs like MAX do advanced adaptive degradation to
always generate a smooth surface.

Could it be that the source is readily available?
