Does anyone know about CGI graphics engines and if they're for sale in any way?

Ok, so I wanna make awesome CGI sequences, but my problem is this: where do I get graphics engines like the one they used in final Fantasy VII: Advent Children (known as the White Engine)? I really wanna know if they even sell those to the public. It would help a lot to know, and i look forward to seeing some answers.
 
The cost to *license* one of those engines is prohibative...unless you're producing something for the company in question. To actually buy a decent engine outright...you're probably talking hundreds of thousands to millions of dollars.

This is why most studios actually build their own. That way when their licensing agreement lapses, they don't have to worry about re-coding existing games to a new engine, or having sequels with different feels due to being forced to use a new engine.

Good Luck!
