What did they use to model The Incredibles

Saw this flick over the weekend and I gotta say , those guys at Pixar must have some serious modeling software. OpenGL all the way.
Wonder what they used to produce all those .

oh, by the way the software is relevant but the processing power is what makes it possible. For ex for Lord of the Rings III they created the 3rd biggest Supercomputer in the world in New Zealand by connecting 5120 processors to render the frames.
Download a free 30 day trial of 3dsmax 7 and have a play with it. It is "Incredibles".

Pixar has it's own software for Character animation (Marionette or something like that). Modelling is done in Maya, mostly.

They did use other tools when appropriate. 3D World Magazine has a full article on it in the latest issue.

I didn't watch the movie... I don't have time to go to the cinema anymore... with two young kids.
