During production of Finding Nemo, we started using Linux boxes in addition to SGIs.
Why?
3D painting software we wrote for laying out coral was written in C++ using templates, and the debug info was too large for IRIX, but was debuggable on Linux.
Was this a 32 bit vs. 64 bit issue?
No.
IRIX reserved half the address space for the kernel, while Linux only did a quarter.
So on Linux, we had 3GB, and the symbols fit.
It was a 32 bit show, both machines had 4GB max.
Plenty for Finding Nemo.
This would’ve been my first time seeing Blade Runner on the big screen — the original theatrical cut. The superior Director’s Cut was still a few years away. What more is there to say? One of the greatest films ever made.
It’s difficult to overstate just how pumped me and my friends were for Batman in 1989. Just that teaser poster alone had us in giddy with excitement. Just as Roger Moore is my Bond, Keaton is my Batman. Looking back it’s all a bit patchy, but we didn’t care at the time.
