SGI Octane: What can a $30,000 computer from the 90's do ?
In the 90's one company dominated the world of 3d graphics SGI, used in industry, university science labs, and the film and tv industry. They where used to edit and create some of our favourite Films and TV shows (and some terrible ones too). My thanks to Nikki and Bunty ( / nikkiandbunty / nikkiandbunty ) for lending their voice talents, you can see them streaming on twitch on Friday nights.
