Inferno, Flame and Flint is a series of compositing and visual effects applications made by Autodesk Media and Entertainment. They share the same software base, but differ mainly in hardware configuration. Traditionally Inferno ran on the SGI Onyx series, while Flame and Flint ran on the SGI Octane, or SGI Indigo2. In 1998 Gary Tregaskis (design), Dominique Boisvert, Phillippe Panzini and Andre Le Blanc (development and implementation) won an Academy Award at the Scientific and Technical Academy Awards for Flame and Inferno.
