Visual effects supervisors Richard Baneham and Eric Saindon discussed the extensive work on James Cameron's "Avatar: Fire and Ash" on February 17, 2026, detailing that the ambitious film utilized over 140 petabytes of disk space and involved more than a thousand personnel dedicated to its effects. Previously, on January 6, Cameron noted the film's advanced techniques, including individual algorithms and machine learning to make facial animation largely hands-off for animators. This follows earlier insights from January 4, which highlighted the film's foundational engineering as a technical system where frame rate, simulation, lighting, performance capture, and continuity logic are tightly coupled from the outset.
