However, Hollywood animation studios have become so used to saying that their expensive render farms were a critical competitive advantage that they didn't stop to look at what could be done with other technologies.

So I'm not convinced that the technology is new; what is new is a startup that is managing to open Hollywood's eyes to more cost-effective alternatives
