What we use.

Almost everyone asks, so here is the basic list of what hardware and software we use.  We choose our hardware and software based on many factors - quality being foremost.  We do not buy the trendy equipment just to claim that we use it!  That is why Digital FX can offer highly advanced, exceptional quality imagery at very competitive prices!

Always remember that the artist is more important than the equipment!

Hardware:

Custom built PC's, Dual Athlon XP 1800's, plus a couple of single Athlons, all with 1G of RAM, also some older Dual P-II 300s, 450s and 550s with 512 MB RAM, all running Windows 2000.  

A mix of ASUS and Tyan motherboards.

Canopus DV Raptor - DV editing system

Viewsonic monitors - 21" P815s, VX700 LCD

WACOM art tablets

Epson Stylus Photo 1290, EX (A3)

Software:

3D modelling/animation: Discreet 3D Studio MAX 4.2
(When we say we use 'MAX' for animation, we don't mean 'Macs' as in Apple Macintoshes!)

Compositing and Effects: Digital Fusion 3.1
2D Paint: Adobe Photoshop
