Home computers where pretty dinky and broadband slow at the time of Toy Story 2. I wonder how they'd get 90% of the movie transferred home and saved to disk/tape?
Yeah, there was nothing else for workstation in VFX and 3D back then in film. Occasional sun box for rendering (Pixar might've had more than a few vs origins at ILM). Amiga's and 3dsmax for TV on PC and intergraph PC boxes.. Maya was very new after 9 versions of PA and TDI explore, Softimage just peaked into windows.. you guys did your own thing with Marionette and whatnot. Exciting times.
