- Todd Rundren has done a video almost completely with a bank of
- Amigas equipped with VideoToasters. The software that comes with
- that for rendering is Lightwave, but I'd guess that the video
- depends as much on the hardware tricks the VT does as it does on
- the rendering software.
-
- There are a few people who are making a living with Amiga
- animation in comp.sys.amiga.graphics, and they are quite
- enthusiastic about a show called Babylon 5, which should live or
- die sometime in '93. The computer graphics are done with Amigas
- and Lightwave. Apparently Lightwave won't run without a VT
- connected to the computer, but they aren't putting the output
- through the VT, they are writing the 24-bit images directly to
- tape.

- It has been very interesting to read about this stuff.
