I stand corrected. Maybe I should see someone about my SGI comp-anim faible. :-)

It seems though that I gave the wrong impression: I wasn't sayign that ALL
dinos were computer generated. The Triceratops and Dilophosaurus were clearly
models, for instance.

I just thought that the V.s were all animated, w/o any use of models.

Thanks
