- | The movie was done with 3D Studio. I think a lot of the animation was done by

- | Lightwave is used a lot). They have a Jonny Mnemonic web page out there. You
- | should check it out. They are giving away an Alpha with 3D Studio.

- Some of the effects certainly could heave been accomplished with 3DS,
- but quite a few of them were done by a company called CORE, and they
- used PRIZMS software on the SGI..
