On the outset you maybe be wondering what Visual FX has got do with with Linux, well we started out way back on SGI machines using IRIX and then later moved to x86 and Linux, all the software that we use for production of our visual imagery is written in house and written completely for Linux. Apart from the graphics software development we also do a lot of Production programming, MIS programming and Systems programming. We have a lot of passionate geeks that love this industry and love coming up with ingenious solutions to our various production problems.
