Thai movie Suriyothai rendered on SGI

Bangkok 08 August 2001 The filmmakers of the Thai movie, Suriyothai used Silicon Graphics Onyx2 systems and Silicon Graphics O2 visual workstations to tell the epic tale of real-life Queen Suriyothai. With a budget of $8.8 million (U.S.), the largest reported in the Thai film industry, the movie spans two decades of the 16th century and chronicles the life and times of the heroic Queen Suriyothai, who sacrificed her life to save her husband.

Apart from filmmaking, Silicon Graphics Onyx2 systems have other applications in the fields of manufacturing, government, engineering, science, research and entertainment. The technology's versatility is attributed to its ability to support concurrent, real-time processing of complex 3D graphics, rich 2D imagery and ultrahigh-resolution video to create the world's fastest, most realistic visualizations.
