I've heard vague accounts of the Amiga's prowess in animation.  Can anyone
tell me of either
    1. their experiences, or
    2. what I should read? 
My work is in pscyhophyics.  Here's a typical application:  create and video
tape a spinning sphere, with randomly distributed patterns on its surface.
I've done some work on a Pixar, but I don't know anything about the various
Amigas, and (at this point) I have a pretty spotty knowledge of animation
techniques.  I'll appreciate any advice.
