What hardware/software was used to produce some of the FX in T2?
The systems used were Silicon Graphics IRIS 4D/340VGX RISC-processor workstations. The software used was Alias Studio 3.0 and Pixar’s Renderman from ILM. The computer graphics were used, among other things, for the morphing/liquid metal FX, and for putting the pilot’s reflection on the T-1000 in the helicopter.
