At a risk of injecting some light into this situation, and since
no-one seems to have come up with anything better than MNSHO...

   Please does any one know which 
   computer/system/software this was done on?

I _think_ I remember this on a Pixel Perfect showreel I borrowed this
year - the reel was old by then. The reel definitely included things
like the Pepsi/RTR clip, the Kiwi from the Trade Developement Board
programme, and lots of Beer Logos :-)

   sneaky suspicion it was done on either an IBM or an Amiga.

This was done on a custom "paintbox" - I was told the name (second
hand) but I don't remember it - something like "Quantel" :-). However,
I have on good authority that like everyone else in the smallish-pro
animation world Pixel Perfect are moving to fast Intel boxes, with
heaps of memory (dedicated frame buffers) and hardware to write out to
video. Algorithms in all cases are fast, configurable, and pixel
buffer based - not raytracing.

(there was a flame here but I deleted it. those interested can apply
for a copy by mail)
