Babylon 5 and Space: Above and Beyond

The visual effects for both Babylon 5 and Space: Above and Beyond were created primarily with NewTek's LightWave 3D software. For hardware, the effects were often rendered on Amiga personal computers with a Video Toaster add-on card. As technology advanced, productions like Space: Above and Beyond also started using more powerful DEC Alpha and early Pentium PCs running Windows NT.

Sliders

Information on the specific CGI hardware and software for the television show Sliders is not readily available. However, given the timeframe, it is highly likely that the production would have used similar industry-standard tools for television CGI, such as LightWave 3D on platforms like the Amiga or PC workstations.

Reboot

As one of the first fully computer-animated television series, Reboot was a groundbreaking production. The show was created using Softimage Creative Environment software on Silicon Graphics (SGI) workstations. SGI workstations were high-end, powerful machines that were crucial for the complex, full-CGI animation of the series.
