[geeks] Quick CG question...

[KRM]

I believe a great deal of the first Toy Story was rendered on SS20s.  I 
can't imagine waiting for Renderman to complete a film resolution frame 
on one of those.  Traditionally, Pixar has always used SGI boxen to do 
the actual work on and Suns to render, although a lot of work for both 
rendering and production is going to linux on peecees now.  I've always 
wondered why they chose Suns to render on as opposed to using larger SGI 
machiunes....
