Sofia Carson presents a Technical Achievement Award too Paul Debevec for his pioneering work in high dynamic range, image-based lighting techniques.

Debevec demonstrated the advantages of high dynamic range image-based lighting, and, through advocacy of the approach, led the industry to embrace new workflows. This has enabled artists to work more productively and improved the realism of computer graphics imagery in feature films.

The 2026 Sci-Tech Awards took place at the Academy Museum of Motion Pictures on April 28th, 2026.
