IT-Director reports on the use of Linux for rendering movie animation. "The cost of producing high quality animation is rising, primarily due to its high labour cost - a fact that is compounded by the viewers increasing expectation of high quality animation. Disney's newest films use computer rendered images to retain the look of the company's original movies. All of this takes computing power and over the last few years Disney has relied on Linux clusters to deliver the necessary power."
