This may have been beat to death in the past and if so my
apologies. 

	My TV finally died yester day and I picked up a state of the art
Toshiba. Now I was living with a state of the art for the time
greyish screen when off up until now. I suddenly wich they would
die every four years as they did when I was a kid. 

	Two points. 

	The first being on the old TV, I was very impressed with the B5
graphics. 

	The second thing is on the new TV watching Crusade the graphics
are no better than most experienced users can create in POV. 

	I agree I have to go find a last season B5 show for comparison
to see if it was just the TV. 

	But if it was just the TV, messing up the image like is being
shown on a pre-black matrix TV improves the realism. 

	Stay tuned to this channel for further details.

I noticed the same thing.

After years of hearing people rave about the graphics on the show, I had the
chance to actually see an episode (a movie, maybe.. we don't get the show out
here.) Was I ever dissapointed. It looked terrible! I've seen POV graphics
look much, much nicer.

Ah well...

I don't know about Crusade, but B5 was made using Lightwave 5.0, running on
a Pentium!

  I think that the idea is that a cheap scanline renderer can render those
animations much faster than a raytracer. They have no time to wait.

LOL, so can an expensive scanline renderer!

I think the main problem is that a lot of artists doing that kind of work
are more techies and don't spend enough time on the ART part of it...

  I think the main problem is money and time. for a series you have serious
deadline issues and strict bugets to adhere to. If this were no problem
you would throw away your lightwave program and hire ILM to take care of
your special effects for you and give them all the money and time they ask
for to do.
