IDK if this counts as a documentary, really, but if you're extremely interested in the history of computer graphics, and yoy've watched all the normal feature-length docus and explorations about Pixar, this almost five-hour (!) video from the recent IEEE event celebrating the creators or Pixar's RenderMan is just up your alley. Creating RenderMan - Pixar's Impact on Computer Graphics IEEE posted:This event tells the origin story behind RenderManŽ, the software that has revolutionized computer graphics since the mid-1980s. It has been used in every Pixar movie, and for the special effects seen in movies, TV, and on streaming services - and also for the content recognized with every Visual Effects OscarŽ for 17 straight years. It's more like an oral history; the founders and early employees have their talks, and the last hour is a panel with all of them. It's a well-produced stream with lots of slides, videos, anecdotes, and technical info, on a level (if you're so inclined, these people are mostly applied mathematics PhD geeks really) you miss from the documentaries. What I took from it is how passionate these guys are about their time at Pixar to this day. Seems like a genuinely wonderful, curious bunch.
