All the little 3D sequences in the TV programme

I think the titles for "Three Men and a Baby" were done on an Amiga.
Babylon 5 and Seaquest DSV used the
Amiga-powered Video Toaster extensively.
Babylon 5 used hopped-up Amiga 2000s w/68040s and Toasters and
Lightwave for their first season, but I think they switched the
rendering platform to Lightwave on Pentium-class machines for the
remainder of the show. Don't know if they continued to use Toasters
for laying down the rendered images to tape or not.
It was still cool to see Amiga output in a serious commercial venue, though.
