    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.
