Yes custom developed, we are a research lab.  The question is not why 
freebsd, for me the question is "why not freebsd". It just needs good 
drivers for 3D graphics cards, the usual GL libraries (for instance), 
and the applications will appear.

There is something that intrigates me, I use FreeBSD since 1.x and I 
still see people saying that
FreeBSD is not for this kind of application or that. Sorry but I don't 
know of any limitation in the OS that precludes its use with  computer 
graphics applications, office, multimedia etc. Just bring in the 
necessary drivers and libraries and it will be as good as any other OS 
for developing any kind of applications.
