Can't say I've sen any other ascii Shrek pics, except my other one.
and I would hope all my ascii pics are instantly recognisable! ;)

Shrek has a distinctive head ie nose, chin, forehead, ears and large
body. I had to be careful to try and get the proportions right

Most likely. They are after all the cheapest (PC priced) way to get
a lot of reliable (non-Windows) computing power for rendering.


Ob-a.a: Also good for viewing/making ASCII art

it was!
they had a cluster of about 50 I believe to process all the data - they used
the extra power, not to reduce rendering time to get the film finished
quicker, but they took the same time, and that's how they got the great look
to it - similar story for final fantasy.
