Overview Contrary to popular belief, people -- not computers -- are the most important part of computer animation production. In any production pipeline, the only acceptable bottleneck is the rate at which people create quality work. Technology is simply the tool, and all too often it hinders the creative process.

PDI recently embarked upon its largest project to date, the fully computer-animated feature film "Ants", a co-production with DreamWorks Feature Animation. The sheer quantity of work dictated a substantial increase in computing power through both desktop upgrades and the implementation of a render farm. Our pool of several dozen dedicated rendering machines would soon grow to several hundred.
