Of course, rendering is just brute force work. Was OS X used for the
modelling? In past "behind-the-scenes" footage, I think I've seen Mac
workstations in the LucasArts workplaces.

Why would they - all their games are Playstation, X-Box and PC

In article < XXXX@XXXXX.COM >,




Riiiiiiiight.

Because everyone knows you can't transfer data between different
platforms...

oops, I meant LucasFilms, not LucasArts. :-)

Gee... I thought the only thing Linux nuts touted was that hollywood
used Linux to render movies... now MS has that too. lol

Here's something else for you to laugh about: Star Wars II and III were
both rendered on 64 bit Windows while it was still in beta... a feat no
version of Mac OS can match... where are those 'wonderful' Mac OS X clusters
now?

Same place they always are. Star Wars II has been out for eons. Where is
this 64-bit Windows OS being sold?

Sheesh, what a dumbass you are. Star Wars Episodes II and III.


Are you anxious for a copy?

Yes, Attack of the Clones. That's been out for how long? It was launched
in 2002. 3 years. 3 years and still the OS hasn't been launched, and was
still in beta when producing the next release?


I need something to start my BBQ with.

Now, answer the question.

Three years are "eons" to you?


Yes. What similiar thing has Mac OS ever done while it was still in beta?
And why didn't the studio choose Mac OS X over a beta version of Windows?


Don't you have any copies of the articles you've written?


Why, are you anxious for a copy?

In the world of software development and even films, yes.


Because Lucas is kinda pissed about Steve Jobs eating into his market?


Sorry, they're worth more than that.


No, I want something to start my BBQ with.

Now, answer the question. Where can I buy 64 bit Windows.

Don't be to *** him. I think those little white UFO's on their
desks cause some kind of permanent reality distortion field ;)

In article <tLxce.2534$ XXXX@XXXXX.COM >,







"The company called Jak Movies decided to go for Windows 64 bit since it
was faster to render under 64 bit Windows."

Tell us: who is "Jak Movies" and what do you think they had to do with
LucasFilms?


""We are in the credits. You'll see us as the previsualization hardware
suppliers for Episode III," Boswell said."


Looks like the movie itself *wasn't* rendered 64-bit Windows on two
separate scores:

Jak Movies isn't LucasFilms, and LucasFilms is sort of famous for doing
this stuff in-house.

The AMD 64-bit machines on which it was supposedly done were used for
previsualization and not rendering the movie.

What exactly is your point? The point is that Windows 64 was used (for
whatever they did) rather than another OS.

In article < XXXX@XXXXX.COM >,









I think there is some considerable doubt about that.

Who is "Jak Movies"? It ain't LucasFilms. And last time I checked,
LucasFilms was the company that George Lucas created and that was
producing the Star Wars movies.
