render farm on back-end to run distributed rastarization using stuff like renderman, or check out blender3d.org for more info. also do note that these days, hollywood movies use linux heavily. ltsp makes it more exciting. rather than give high-end workstations to a team of artists to create cells and stuff, let them all work concurrently on a centralised server (either on the same file, or on different files that make up a large project, using ltsp, and let the ltsp server handle rendering and ray-tracing and stuff to have things sped up.... > > > BTW there are better ways of doing render farm/ image processing using a > protocol called RENDERMAN from Pixar.
