The Graphics Group, which was one-third of the Computer Division of Lucasfilm, was launched in 1979 with the hiring of Catmull from NYIT, [13] where he was in charge of the Computer Graphics Lab. He was then reunited with Smith, who also made the journey from NYIT to Lucasfilm, and was made the director of the Graphics Group. At NYIT, the researchers pioneered many of the CG foundation techniques—in particular, the invention of the alpha channel by Catmull and Smith. [14] Over the next several years, the CGL would produce a few frames of an experimental film called The Works. After moving to Lucasfilm, the team worked on creating the precursor to RenderMan, called REYES (for "renders everything you ever saw") and developed several critical technologies for CG—including particle effects and various animation tools. [15] The Pixar Co-op Program, a part of the Pixar University professional development program, allows their animators to use Pixar resources to produce independent films. [139] [140] The first 3D project accepted to the program was Borrowed Time (2016); all previously accepted films were live-action. [141] FranchisesVideo Games: Monsters, Inc. • Monsters, Inc.

During the following months, they gradually resigned from CGL, found temporary jobs for about a year to avoid making Schure suspicious, and joined the Graphics Group at Lucasfilm. [11] [12] The making of Elemental resulted in Pixar having to upgrade and buy more computers. This film used over 151,000 cores (the brains of a computer), a massive jump compared to Toy Story with 294 cores, Monsters Inc. with 672 cores, and Finding Nemo with 923 cores. [13] This Pixar film holds the record for being dedicated to the most amount of people who passed away during its production, with 6 in total. The names listed include: Kit, Borys (January 18, 2019).

Originally intended as a direct-to-video release (and thus not part of Pixar's three-picture deal), the film was eventually upgraded to a theatrical release during production. Pixar demanded that the film then be counted toward the three-picture agreement, but Disney refused. [48] Though profitable for both, Pixar later complained that the arrangement was not equitable. Pixar was responsible for creation and production, while Disney handled marketing and distribution. Profits and production costs were split equally, but Disney exclusively owned all story, character, and sequel rights and also collected a 10- to 15-percent distribution fee. [ citation needed]
