These used to be the most bad arse computers out there when I first started. Would have to stay out of hours to study on one:
Now look at what is out there:
To be fair what they did with what was at the time is still stella but still! The youth will never know what a boot time feels like!
- SGI was 10 years ahead thanks to the advanced ascii processor and pricey high end RAM and SCSI configurations. Market forces standardized everything on X86.********
- IRIX was a badass operating system. THere was nothing better until OpenStep.********
- Funny that SGI standardized on a unified motherboard w/ integrated gfx long before Apple did.********
- BTW these are the workstations I learned CGI on so I am enamored w them from a nostalgic angle.********
- #friendship!mugwart
- learnt shake on them! As well as UNIX/ coding.mugwart
- I remember shake... It was the rotopaint app right?********
- more compositing app. Roto was a world of pain in there but it did do thatmugwart
- yeah it was one of the only apps that output 10/16 bit color for film********
- was the only one. Then it was 10bit cineon files.mugwart
- Flame and Smoke did but that was Win NT********
- If I remember correctly********
- Flame/Smoke/Inferno - came with their own OS if I remember. It was definitely a form of UNIX.mugwart
- I used Flame in Win Nt (x86 alpha)********
- Maybe before nt there was an irix variant********
- might have been on both.mugwart
