Rob Engle, Imageworks’ senior stereographer and digital effects supervisor is currently working on the stereoscopic version of the film G-FORCE, a Jerry Bruckheimer Production for Walt Disney Pictures. Prior to G-FORCE, Engle served as stereographer and 3D digital effects supervisor on Robert Zemeckis' BEOWULF. In that capacity he was responsible for all creative and technical aspects of adapting the film for its release in digital and IMAX® 3D theaters.

Preceding his work on BEOWULF 3D, Engle supervised MONSTER HOUSE 3D, OPEN SEASON: AN IMAX 3D EXPERIENCE and the breakthrough release of Zemeckis' THE POLAR EXPRESS: AN IMAX 3D EXPERIENCE.

In addition to his work on stereoscopic films, Engle served as the CG supervisor on the Academy Award®-nominated THE CHRONICLES OF NARNIA: THE LION, THE WITCH AND THE WARDROBE as well as on PETER PAN, CHARLIE’S ANGELS: FULL THROTTLE and STUART LITTLE 2. He was a pipeline supervisor on the 2D release of THE POLAR EXPRESS, where he coordinated the activities of a number of different departments to build the pipeline needed for Imageworks’ first all-CG feature. On STUART LITTLE 2, he headed up the R&D team, where he was responsible for creating Stuart's avian co-stars. Engle also developed the lighting pipeline and initial R&D for the tools used to create Stuart's fur in the Academy Award®-nominated STUART LITTLE. Engle was the lighting pipeline lead on GODZILLA, lead production software engineer on CONTACT and software developer for the RenderMan interface on ANACONDA. Engle joined Imageworks in 1996 as lead software engineer on Imageworks’ in-house RenderMan interface.

Before joining Imageworks, Engle interned in the software department at Industrial Light & Magic (ILM) and worked for the Hewlett Packard Company developing the IC Computer Aided Design software used to create many of the company's computer and test equipment products.

As recent interest in 3D cinema has peaked, Engle's artistic and technical expertise have made him a highly sought-after speaker at industry events including SIGGRAPH, the VES Festival, the Stereoscopic Displays and Applications Conference, the SMPTE Technical Conference, the Hollywood Post Alliance, HD Expo and special speaking engagements for the ASC among others.

Engle is a member of the Visual Effects Society (VES) Board of Directors and co-chair of the VES Archives Committee.

Engle holds a Master of Science degree in Computer Science from Stanford University and a Bachelor of Science degree in Electrical and Computer Engineering from the University of Colorado.
