Actually the so called вЂHollywood groupвЂ™ did not intend to break away from GIMP, but its enhancements and suggestions were shunned by the core GIMP developers, unfortunately this left a bad taste in the industryвЂ™s collective mouth, as PixarвЂ™s Vice President of Technology, Darwin Peachey commented in Linux Journal, Feb last year вЂњExtensions were done by the VFX industry but werenвЂ™t picked up by the project. CinePaint can be thought of as a Linux Photoshop вЂ“ but designed for frame sequences rather than layers of a single frame and absolutely critically it runs at 48 bit rgb, ( 16 bit colour depth) rather than just the 8 bit colour that GIMP supports. Originally it was developed as an open source paint program to companion to Silicon GrailвЂ™s Chalice Compositor. Film GIMP started as a break away from the GIMP project around 1988. GIMP began as a class project by two students at the University of California Berkeley in 1995. The IRIX version of the program (version 3) long ago fell behind in releases and Photoshop is one of the most universally loved graphics programs, from 3D textures to digital matte paintings, Photoshop is used and loved.Д®nter GIMP and the film version : Film GIMP. One of the major areas left unresolved in the Linux world is AdobeвЂ™s Photoshop.

Rob Coleman, ILMвЂ™s famous lead animation director from Star Wars commented recently in Sydney, вЂќ I am normally against switching platforms or software versions, but we switched over completely in mid project ( of Star Wars Ep 2)вЂќ Coleman went on to point out that it was the pure speed improvement that the animators gained that convinced him the move was the right thing to do, even with вЂ“ or because of вЂ“ the huge task ILM faced on Ep2. But perhaps the most noticed industry move was when ILM switched its animation department to Linux. Digital Domain has now used Linux in 21 motion pictures, and has won two technical achievement awards one for Track and the other for NUKE, both run on Linux. There are 300 Linux desktop systems at Dreamworks alone.

More popular than Windows, Macintosh, or SGIвЂ™s IRIX. Linux has now become the number one operating system in Hollywood. The use of the operating system has moved from render-farms to desktop solutions with Maya, Softimage, Discreet, Shake, Nuke, Renderman, Kaydara, US Animations, and SGI all withLinux solutions. Today every major equipment supplier has an active Linux solution or at least a private Linux strategy вЂ“except Adobe.

In 2000 when the summit was held only a hand full of programs ran on Linux.

One of the first vendors to port to Linux was SideFx software and its Houdini 3D animation system but the real fun began when the Visual Effects Society organized a summit where 24 of its members companies met and jointly asked the vendor community to port to Linux. LinuxвЂ™s use quickly spread from servers to workstations as key vendors started porting their applications to the widely growing operating system.

In 1998 for example Daryll Strauss at Digital Domain used a wall of Linux servers to help render some of the computer intensive water scenes in the Academy Award winning Titanic. Linux started it move into the visual effects production pipeline over 5 years ago. ( And lets face it after Pulp Fiction isnвЂ™t GIMP just about the worse name for a product in the history of post !) But with no Adobe Linux version of Photoshop, вЂ“ the most popular open source Linux application in the post industry is now Film GIMP (or it was вЂ¦ДЇilm Gimp has changed its name to CinePaint, which marks the coming of age of this program, and its recognition as an important separate program from the main original GIMP image editor. Linux has become the most popular operating system for feature film production. Every major studio has converted to Linux or has a Linux conversion underway. Feature films produced using Linux include Star Wars Attack of the Clones, Lord of the Rings 2, Star Trek Nemesis, Harry Potter, Scooby-Doo and many more.
