They were computer generated, but the entire frame was changing each
time, because it was a flying-observer type of deal where objects were
moving in the scene and also the observer was moving too which had the
effect of the entire background of the image changing.  Looked
way-fine.  The salesdroid indicated it had been rendered on an Amiga
3000 with some sort of animation program.
