Weird, never heard of it.

Does it overlap with Discreet or Softimage stuff?

No. Cinepaint was merely a raster paint program with 16-bit colorspace which made it suitable for feature work. It didn't have programmable animation capability but did have onion skinning so that cel-style animation could be done, albeit painfully.

Edit: Oh, and that, very importantly, ran on SGI/IRIX.

Is https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Avid_Matador along the similar lines?
Yes. Very similar.
Oh. More like Lumena (Time Arts/John Dunn).

Amazing.
