Re: 3D animation in the linux world?



Well, Maya is available for Linux, of course (you might have considered
checking the product page for it). Maya under Linux is what Dreamworks uses
for it's films (both CG effects and CG animated features). Houdini is a
more recent commercial package that seems popular. It was used for the
films "Monster House" and "Superman Returns".

For us mere mortals that don't want to blow our life savings on Maya or
Houdini, there's stuff like Blender (which, being free, is considerably
cheaper).

Hi all,

Maya seems to be the standard in the Windows/Apple
world for doing 3D animation and I don't think there is
a Linux version. So what programs are available in the
Linux world to do 3D animation? Do they take
advantage of all the latest hardware such as multithreading,
multiprocessing and multcore technologies?

thanks,
charles.....
