Found this on their wiki (vfxpedia.com)

  • True, native, highly optimized x86 code.
  • Is not running under an emulator at all.
  • Wine is used for the GUI and Interface services.
  • Has the largest number of 3rd party plugins.
  • Completely cross platform render compatible.
  • Plugins do not have to be redone for different Linux distributions.
  • Exactly the same rendering result, platform to platform.
Sounds very cool.
