Linux Dreamworks Redux (Linux Journal)
Linux Journal takes us back to the DreamWorks
SKG Glendale studio, to see how Linux was used in the production of
Spirit, Stallion of the Cimarron. ""For Spirit the Ink and
Paint department was entirely Linux, as was half of rendering", says
DreamWorks Head of Animation Technology Ed Leonard. "Now all the
departments have been converted. For our current production, Sinbad,
every workstation and the entire renderfarm is Linux." Linux gained its
first toehold in the motion picture industry on servers for rendering and
has now become a standard desktop for artists. For Spirit DreamWorks
utilized more than 150 Linux desktops. More than 350 are in use for
Sinbad."
