MicroSearch (Houston, TX) is going to be doing the computer
animation for Robocop II. I thought you "Amiga Sighting"
fanatics would be interested in this. Here is what the
system admin of their BBS had to say about it:

I (stephen sinders) gave a graphic seminar a few months back at the
Marriot, and the product co for the movie showed up. They were
impressed with what they saw and heard. One thing lead to another and
they hired one of our employees (mike ribble) to do the animation for
the movie. Not just peeon things but ALL of the animation.They have
been so impressed with what we have done that some entire scenes have
been redesigned to enhance the animtaion. (another words the monitor
used to just happento be in the picture, now the bad guy is face to
face with the monitor)
We are using an A2500 5mb ram 65mb harddisk, Digi view, sulpt 4d elon
performer, deluxe paintIII and many others.
