I believe John Gross addressed this a few months ago when the series
originally aired.  I believe what he said was that the Voyager was
Lightwave but the gasseous space effects were done externally by someone
else (not using Lightwave, was it Wavefront? I can't remember...)
Anyway, I belive that John stated that most of the shots were combinatons
of different software and computer platforms (ie: the backgrounds being
done on Macs etc.)
