Jules Urbach

Jules Urbach is a pioneer in computer graphics, streaming, and 3D rendering, with more than 25 years of industry experience. He is the founder and CEO of Los Angeles based software company OTOY, Inc (develop of OctaneRender, and the RNDR network) and its academy-award wining subsidiary, LightStage LLC, which aim to revolutionize 3D content capture, creation, and delivery. At the age of 18, he chose to defer going to Harvard University so he could make his first game, Hell Cab (Time Warner Interactive), which was one of the first CD-ROM games ever created. Six years after Hell Cab, Urbach founded Groove Alliance, which produced Real Pool, the first 3D game ever available on Shockwave. In 2009, Urbach and OTOY CCO Clay Sparks optioned the rights from Toei Animation to develop a live action film based on the 'Gaiking' TV Series and Mattel "Shogun Warriors" toyline.
