What benefits has DreamWorks enjoyed since migrating to
open-source systems?
DreamWorks is a major producer of animated motion pictures
such as Mega-mind, Shrek forever after, Kung fu panda, real steel and many
more. DreamWorks is also a major user of Linux for production of animated
movies. Open-source system like Linux is all ready for animator tools that are
needed for the animation creator.
Firstly the benefit of DreamWorks migrating to open-source
system is that, it reduces the costs of production but maintaining the quality
of the product – animation efficiency with original technology that matters.
Therefore, Linux save a lot of time for rendering the animations since Linux
personal computer performance is very fast rather than the normal personal
computers that are older. Other operating system like Microsoft and its
software’s are trying to compete in this particular production. Nevertheless
Linux is very well-matched for moving picture/computer graphics productions
because in this kind of production for creating animation movie, it will be an
optimum working with a high performance workstation with high-performance
graphic system and expert software.
An open source system can be modified not create the codes
for reaching the objectives. As DreamWorks has 3 million lines of code, which
is created for the SGI operating system but Linux is less than the same like
the SGI IRIX OS – easy to adapt in such of large code.
