#RNDR CEO Jules Urbach spoke to Fast Company about helping Hollywood navigate the #NFT universe.

OTOY, in many ways, sits at the nexus of the NFT explosion. The company serves as an Adobe-like software provider for NFT creators.

Among its board members are director J.J. Abrams; former Google CEO Eric Schmidt; former Lucasfilm CTO Richard Kerris; Mike Winkelmann (aka Beeple); and Ari Emanuel, CEO of Endeavor, whom Urbach says he talks to “every day about where the space is headed.”

Urbach also talks to Emanuel in more specific terms. He says OTOY’s collaboration with Endeavor “is to take everything that they touch . . . and provide digital representation of that. For example, we scan actors or athletes. That could become an NFT. Similarly, for UFC (Ultimate Fighting Championship), which Endeavor owns, we’re in discussions about providing a 3D pipeline blockchain for that.”

Beyond an #NFT, what happens when an artist like Beeple might take it, with rights attached, and use it, do something with it, and create a royalty flow?

RNDR is coming to Apple‘s iPad - Part II

https://youtu.be/Akpv_ziwPJg

Iconic artist Mike “Beeple” Winklemann takes the USS Enterprise for a spin on M1 iPad! Octane X is already available free of charge for Apple's macOS. The iPad version is currently being tested as seen in this video with Beeple.

Beeple wrote art history this year with the first purely digital artwork NFT ever offered at auction house Christie's Inc. The auction closed with a bid of over $69 million, making him the third-most-valuable living artist. He is joining OTOY's Roddenberry Archive project as a creative consultant, and, alongside legendary Marvel and DC Comics star illustrator Alex Ross, will help commemorate the Roddenberry Archive and cross-link it to both the Alex Ross and Beeple RNDR Archives announced earlier this year.

The family foundation for Star Trek creator Gene Roddenberry is launching "Boldly Go” which empowers anyone in the world to contribute their own art and concepts for a better tomorrow.

In partnership with Paramount+ satellite company Planet and Academy Award-winning technology company OTOY, the campaign (“Boldly Go”) is part of the celebration of the legacy of Star Trek creator Gene Roddenberry in what would have been his centennial year.

The Foundation will work with OTOY and renowned digital artists to combine submissions into a piece of artwork that will be made available to the public and auctioned to generate funds for nonprofits—ensuring the public’s Star Trek-inspired hopes for the future translate into real-world impact.

Crypto Conversation podcast Andy Pickering is with Jules Urbach CEO OTOY and RNDR.

Star Trekking - Jules Urbach is the Elon Musk of Rendering

Why you should listen:
RNDR, whose partners include Amazon, Google, Apple and HBO, developed a cutting-edge platform based on underlying OTOY technology that allows individuals to create graphics at the same level as Hollywood studios. RNDR is revolutionizing visual effects by using the cloud to democratize GPUs and other rendering resources, and also seeks to provide energy-efficient solutions for creating NFTs.

Jules' best friend from childhood is Rod Roddenberry. Jules is working on a new digital archive of Star Trek creator Gene Roddenberry’s legacy.

The Roddenberry Archive will feature the flagship Star Trek series, original films, and spinoffs in a variety of formats including digital and holographic renderings, documents, images, models, and blueprints.

The archive will capture deep 3D asset metadata from assets, images, blueprints, and models using RNDR, OTOY's blockchain GPU computing network. In order to capture original studio and physical assets at the highest level of photographic fidelity, the archive will leverage OTOY's LightStage Academy-Award-winning facial scanning service, generating the first comprehensive lighting and reflectance data set for future archival use. Iconic artist Mike "Beeple" Winklemann is joining the Roddenberry Archive project as a creative consultant, and, alongside legendary painter and illustrator Alex Ross, will help commemorate the Roddenberry Archive and cross-link it to both the Alex Ross and Beeple RNDR Archives.
