SGI POWERS WETA DIGITAL'S WORK ON ‘LORD OF THE RINGS’
SGI's long-time customers Weta Digital evoked the power of more than 230 SGI IRIX OS-based and SGI Linux OS-based visual workstations, storage products and servers for production, postproduction and visual effects on the much anticipated live-action, CGI-laden ‘The Lord of the Rings’ film trilogy.
Weta shot all three films simultaneously with Weta Digital, its digital effects arm, concurrently producing more than 1,200 visual effects shots.
The company are using a full complement of IRIX OS-based Silicon Graphics Octane and Silicon Graphics Onyx2® visual workstations, SGI Origin family servers, and SGI Linux OS-based visual workstations and servers to create and manage up to 100TB of data. (CD)
