moocow - Are you sure that Pixar made Photoshop? I think that Photoshop was Adobe's original brainchild.

I assume most of you have seen this, but since people are debating it, I thought you might need a refresher.

What animation software do you use and what do you recommend to those hoping to work for a company like Pixar in the future?

Pixar uses its own proprietary software called Marionette, built and maintained in-house.

Here are thoughts about getting into Pixar and what they look for:

"In general, at Pixar we look for broad artistic and technical skills, rather than ability to run one package or another. We concentrate on finding people with breadth, depth, communication skills and the ability to collaborate. If you have those attributes, we can teach you the tools."
