Very broad question, short answer, Unix is an efficient operating system especially for number chrunching, etc (although with the amount of CPU firepower, it is hard to argue otherwise).
3D animation is also historically Sun, Unix dominated, packages are probably more mature on these platforms.
It is interesting to note that the CGI for "Titantic" was rendered on a Linux farm and the graphics for "The Matrix" were rendered on a FreeBSD farm.

Instead of the slow and not readable tooltips with the preview of the thread content in forum view, I have added the preview with mouseover (see attached movie).
Let me know if you want a different kind of preview (animation, duration font-color, size, etc,)
Thanks.

AAFLIP(1) General Commands Manual AAFLIP(1)
NAME
aaflip - An ASCII art video player
SYNOPSIS
aaflip [-abcfv] [-n number] [-s delay]
DESCRIPTION
aaflip is an ASCII art video player which supports the fli and flc formats.
fli files are limited to a resolution of 320x200 pixel, while flc files can have any resolution.
The default method of playing is to load the first frame of the animation sequence and display it. After this the remainder of the file is
loaded into memory, and the animation starts. The animation ends when q or ctrl-c is pressed.
OPTIONS
-a Remove frames from memory after processing. Using this option leaves more memory for other processes, but relies on the buffer cache
for continuous animation.
-b Process frames immediately as they are loaded. When using this option the animation frames are shown as soon as the player has read
them, so you don't have to wait until the entire file has been read. The disadvantage is that the animation becomes jumpy if the
speed set by the animation is higher than the speed of loading.
-c Keep the screen black while loading the animation. This conflicts with option -b, which can give interesting results.
-f Switch off clock synchronization. Animation will run as fast as possible.
-v Show information on flic file.
-n number
Play the animation sequence number times.
-s delay
Set delay between frames to delay milliseconds. Option -s 0 is the same as -f.
