Hi Everyone ! Have you seen Star Trek Voyager ? Does the "Voyager" look familiar ? Is it me, or does the "Voyager" seem "squid like" kind of like it was modeled after the "Sea Quest" sub? What do you think? I was wondering if Amblin was doing the special effects, and if so, on Lightwave ? BTW, I think the effects look great!!! Hope it's on an Amiga! Mike Brennan, Sir Render

Michael: I'm pretty sure that the guys at Amblin did not design the Voyager, but I belive that they did do a bit of work on it. Try directing your message to John Gross or Grant Boucher. They have been frustratingly quiet about what they did. I just hope that means their very busy… Brad Hayes Hayes Visual Communication

Michael, There has been a great discussion under the subject heading of "Amiga & Other Multimedia" in the Amiga Arts/Multimedia section about "ST:Voyager". Grant Boucher has participated in the discussion, describing scenes where LightWave and models were used. Regards, John Chang

I think I prefer science fiction. >> I was wondering if Amblin was doing the special effects, and if so, on Lightwave ? I heard that they were. >> BTW, I think the effects look great!!! Hope it's on an Amiga! I do too, especially the singularity effect (it takes talent to model a place that doesn't exist :). Some of them are done on the Amiga, I dunno which.
