While there's no question that you need advanced software techniques on your side to produce Hollywood effects, most of what's needed comes down to raw processing power.
Many of the day-to-day tools used in the industry are mainstream applications available to enthusiasts and smaller studios.
Companies such as Softimage and Autodesk lead the way with suites of titles designed to cover everything from green-screen imaging and compositing to character animation, lip synching and lighting.
