Yesterday I read an article about how Linux is the OS of choice for film animation these days in the big studios. Someone has developed a Gimp variant called by one of the names above (sorry, leaky memory) which is the actual tool used. It is Gimp modified to emphasize animation.

I wonder if there is any conversation back and forth betweeen the folks that update Gimp and this Hollywood group?

Hi! Is this article available online anywhere? I would LOVE to read it! :)

Peace....

Yes but I can't remember just where. It was in some linux online newsletter and the title referred to Linux in the Animation Industry. Should have made a note of it I know.

The basic content can be found at the site http://film.gimp.org

Just FYI.

I wrote one of these articles for Salon: http://archive.salon.com/tech/feature/2001/11/01/linux_hollywood/

I also did one for Linux Journal: http://www.linuxjournal.com/article.php?sid=5472

Cool! I found the Linux Journal article you wrote via Google search. I was surprised to read the parts about Microsoft as I just _knew_ they would want to "grab" this market and make their penetration even greater. Also, I was suprised to read about the source changes made by one of the animation houses or studios that were "indirectly not accepted" by the GIMP developers, as the GIMP developers opted to re-architect GIMP instead. I would hope this new architecture would include the changes/fixes submitted by the animation house, but who am I..... :)

Anywho, great article and I'll be sure to read the Salon one as well.

Peace...
