Spy Kids 2: workstations based on AMD Athlon MP processors
AMD announced its collaboration with Janimation and Softimage in the production of the Troublemaker Studios-Dimension Films’ Spy Kids 2: The Island of Lost Dreams. Janimation’s critically-acclaimed special effects elements were developed with SOFTIMAGE|XSI software on 3DBOXX and RenderBOXX systems from BOXX Technologies powered by AMD Athlon MP processors 1900+.
Janimation, a Dallas-based effects and animation company, rapidly completed a series of special effects scenes for Spy Kids 2 on servers and workstations based on AMD Athlon MP processors, including pre- and post-production for the Sea Creature sequence.
AMD Athlon MP processor-based systems provide performance and power suited for the most demanding digital content creation and rendering, while also providing individual users a powerful platform to edit home movies or photographs.
“Using advanced digital content creation technologies including AMD Athlon MP processors and SOFTIMAGE|XSI software, Janimation was able to concentrate on the nuances that make special effects great,” said Ed Ellett, vice president of Client Business for AMD’s Computation Products Group. “This powerful, reliable development and rendering solution helps increase productivity, and allows more time to be spent on creation rather than render cycles.”
“Janimation was able to rapidly develop design concepts, drafts and final product for the Sea Creature sequence by leveraging powerful technology and a whole lot of imagination,” said Steve Gaconnier, Janimation’s Chief Creative. “Using systems based on AMD Athlon MP processors provided rendering stability and speed that allowed the Janimation team to focus on creative details that made the special effects pop off the screen.”
“SOFTIMAGE|XSI provides content developers with an amazing palette of options for digital character animation. XSI’s advanced character construction and easy setup enabled Janimation to quickly generate customized, film-quality versions of the Spy Kids 2 Sea Creatures,” said Alan Waxenberg, Business Manager 3rd Party, Softimage. “Softimage and AMD Athlon MP processors combine to provide customers increased performance for all phases of production, including advanced modeling, 2-D/3-D compositing, hair, render management and final rendering- resulting in increased creativity and productivity.”
“With 3DBOXX and RenderBOXX, BOXX Technologies provides the processing power and stability digital content creators demand,” said Ed Caracappa, director of sales and marketing for BOXX Technologies. “Innovators in entertainment and digital film production such as Janimation can streamline workflow and allow more time for creativity using BOXX systems powered by AMD Athlon MP processors.”
