- There was an article on Disney's CAPS in Computer Graphics World 3-5
- months ago.
-
- I'd hazard a guess that they let the public have a look at it, rather
- than having released it to the public. There was a demonstration of it a
- week or two ago on one of the networks doing a special on Disney (i.e.
- Pocohontas hype) in which they showed how it was used.
-
- The system (and it is a SYSTEM) was co-developed with Pixar and is
- immensely powerful. They've probably got more CPU's networked than the
- grand total of everyone on this group. They also have enough RAM to hold
- the entire movie at film resolution, it's in the hundreds of GB. The
- software itself is probably worth $10 million and the system required to
- run it would cost at least that much.
-
- Perhaps they've come up with some commercial software based on things
- they've learned with CAPS. I haven't heard one way or the other. Where
- did you hear what you heard?
