Pixar created 'AI spiders' that generated realistic cobwebs through machine learning, avoiding the manual labor typically required for such detail in animation.
Dylan Sisson explained how the AI spiders would find specific areas in the scenes to weave webs, significantly streamlining the animation process.
The use of AI in this context sparks debate over the definitions of artificial intelligence, especially compared to generative AI technologies prevalent today.
Artists still had to manually animate cobwebs interacted with by characters, balancing automation with the need for realism in key scenes.
