Official Babylon 5 episodes on YouTube every week (link in comments). Why is this significant to Commodore fans? (You might want to bookmark this) The Amiga 2000's Role in Babylon 5's Special Effects (read the full article: In the annals of television history, few shows leveraged technology as innovatively as Babylon 5. The series, which aired from 1993 to 1998, was groundbreaking not only for its storytelling but also for its pioneering use of computer-generated imagery (CGI). A key component in this visual revolution was the often-overlooked Commodore Amiga 2000. The Babylon 5 Amiga 2000 Setup Explained • Hardware: The Amiga 2000 was a major upgrade from earlier Amiga models, with an open architecture that allowed extensive hardware enhancements. It was powered by the Motorola 68000-series CPU, with options for further upgrades. • Video Toaster: This video effects card, designed specifically for the Commodore Amiga, included a genlock for broadcast-quality video synchronization, a framebuffer for real-time effects, and LightWave 3D software for 3D modelling and animation. • Networked Computing: Foundation Imaging, the special effects house for Babylon 5, networked 24 Commodore Amiga 2000s to form a render farm. This setup enabled parallel processing of CGI frames, dramatically speeding up the rendering process. Did you watch it? Are you going to watch it?

Did you know the iconic seaQuest DSV intro was powered by Commodore Amiga? Back in 1993, when CGI was still in its infancy and insanely expensive, Amblin Imaging (Steven Spielberg’s effects house) chose a revolutionary low-cost solution: a render farm of Commodore Amiga 2000 computers running NewTek LightWave 3D and the Video Toaster. All those stunning external shots of the massive seaQuest submarine gliding through the ocean depths? Rendered on Amigas. The show only used about 1.5 minutes of CGI per episode, but it looked groundbreaking for television at the time. They networked dozens of Amigas together to handle the complex underwater visuals — a setup that helped make high-quality 3D effects accessible beyond big Hollywood budgets. This was the same Amiga + LightWave combo that famously powered early seasons of Babylon 5 and other 90s sci-fi hits. The Video Toaster even won an Emmy for Technical Achievement in 1993! The future of TV VFX was built on a machine many still call the greatest home computer ever made. Commodore Amiga — changing the game from your desktop. 🖥️✨ONLY AMIGA MAKES IT POSSIBLE!

Did you know the futuristic underwater effects in the 1993–96 sci-fi series SeaQuest DSV were mostly created on… Commodore Amiga 2000? Yes, really! While Hollywood movies were spending hundreds of thousands on Silicon Graphics workstations, the seaQuest VFX team (Amblin Imaging) used a fleet of souped-up Amiga 2000s with Video Toaster, LightWAVE 3D, and 68040 accelerator cards. These machines cost a fraction of an SGI Crimson or Indigo² (which easily ran $50k–$100k+ each in the early ’90s). The Amiga rendered all the CGI submarines, sea creatures, holographic displays, and that amazing opening title sequence you still remember. Proof that in the right hands, affordable tools can create television magic. Only Amiga Makes It Possible!

5 Facts you didn't want to know about Alien Breed for the Commodore Amiga Alien Breed (1991) is a landmark Amiga title that defined Team17’s early style: tense, atmospheric, and brutally addictive. It was perfect for co-op gaming with mates. Programmed by Andreas Tadic and Peter Tuleby, with graphics by Rico Holmes and iconic music by Allister Brimble. 1. Top-down run-and-gun sci-fi shooter heavily inspired by Aliens: You (and a friend in co-op) explore an infested space station, blasting xenomorph-like aliens (I originally thought they were aliens) while managing limited ammo and health. It mixes fast arcade action with tense resource management. 2. Team17’s breakthrough hit: This was only their second game, after Full Contact, and their first full-price release. It put the UK developer and publisher on the map, before they became famous for the Worms series. 3. Extremely well-received on Amiga: Launched to critical acclaim, with many magazines scoring it 85–91% (CVG 91%, Zero 91%, CU Amiga 90%, Amiga Action 87%). It was usually praised for its smooth multi-directional scrolling, atmosphere, co-op play, and technical excellence on the Amiga. 4. Infamously difficult: The original game was notoriously tough and short, with only six levels. Because of this, Team17 later released Alien Breed Special Edition 92, with rebalanced difficulty, extra levels, and various fixes. In my opinion, it’s a much more enjoyable game. 5. No official Commodore 64 version: it was developed primarily for the Amiga, and the Commodore 64 never got a conversion :( Would you have played it? I would have big time! Still one of the best top-down shooters ever made on the Amiga. Who else remembers the panic when the ammo ran low and the aliens kept coming?

Jay Miner, Father of the Amiga, on how it all began. “Well it was 1982… a friend from Atari came to me and said, ‘Hey Jay, let’s start a new company. I’m tired of this one.’ I said ‘Fine. I’ll do the chips — and I’ll be vice president… as long as I can do the chips MY way.’ My original vision? A low-cost entry into computers… through video games. Games were hot, investors just wanted a console. But I wanted something that could grow into a REAL computer.” Then Dave Morse (ex-Tonka Toys VP) showed up, we set up shop on Scott Blvd, started as “Hi-Toro”… and later became Amiga Corporation. Jay Miner was the Father of Amiga, which would become Commodore Amiga after the company was purchased by Commodore in 1984. What followed was Amiga 1000, 500, 2000, 600, 1200, 3000,4000 and a few other models.

This Commodore Amiga game might have got the worst review score ever! It earned one of the lowest review scores in Amiga magazine history — a brutal 3% from Amiga Power in 1994, with the reviewer calling it something Psygnosis and developer The Dome "should be utterly ashamed of themselves" for releasing. This is pretty brutal, but were they right? What did you think of Last Action Hero?

The Amiga port of Pang (aka Buster Bros.), published by Ocean Software in 1990, is considered a spot-on arcade conversion and one of the finest arcade ports on the platform, receiving critical scores of 90% and higher. With its simple mechanics and relatively reduced scope, it was possible to adequately fit in the extremely tight deadlines of the computer niche, and coupled with the technical skill of the Ocean France development team, delivering a compelling result. Not only on the Amiga, but also on other classic computers of the era.

Mission Alien for the Amiga (by Matze1887). Nice Turrican-style game, developed in ASM language. This is a 1-stage demo and uses open-source art assets created by artists Surt and Emcee Flesher. It says 'only AGA supported *at the moment*': I'm interpreting that OCS is on the cards futurely. More info: #AmigaReposts

Alibaba presents MIMO Controllable Character Video Synthesis with Spatial Decomposed Modeling Character video synthesis aims to produce realistic videos of animatable characters within lifelike scenes. As a fundamental problem in the computer vision and graphics community, 3D works typically require multi-view captures for per-case training, which severely limits their applicability of modeling arbitrary characters in a short time. Recent 2D methods break this limitation via pre-trained diffusion models, but they struggle for pose generality and scene interaction. To this end, we propose MIMO, a novel framework which can not only synthesize character videos with controllable attributes (i.e., character, motion and scene) provided by simple user inputs, but also simultaneously achieve advanced scalability to arbitrary characters, generality to novel 3D motions, and applicability to interactive real-world scenes in a unified framework. The core idea is to encode the 2D video to compact spatial codes, considering the inherent 3D nature of video occurrence. Concretely, we lift the 2D frame pixels into 3D using monocular depth estimators, and decompose the video clip to three spatial components (i.e., main human, underlying scene, and floating occlusion) in hierarchical layers based on the 3D depth. These components are further encoded to canonical identity code, structured motion code and full scene code, which are utilized as control signals of synthesis process. The design of spatial decomposed modeling enables flexible user control, complex motion expression, as well as 3D-aware synthesis for scene interactions. Experimental results demonstrate effectiveness and robustness of the proposed method.

Alien Breed '92 Special Edition on the Commodore Amiga — pure 16-bit sci-fi mayhem! Team17 took their Gauntlet-meets-Aliens top-down shooter, doubled the levels to 12, cranked up the tension, and dropped it at budget price in 1992. (I was going to say...“So you cooked up a story and dropped the six of us in a meat grinder" but wrong franchise, LOL! The result? A frantic corridor crawler that stayed in the UK charts for over a year! Narrow space station halls crawling with xenomorph-style horrors, key hunting, door bashing, power-ups, and that unmistakable Amiga atmosphere. In space, no one can hear you scream... (back onto the right franchise) but on your Amiga 500, you heard every blaster shot and alien screech in glorious 32 colours! This was one of the definitive Amiga action games. Did you play the original or go straight for the Special Edition?

Kimi K3 took a bit longer than Fable 5 to generate, but came in ~1/3 cheaper on the 1st test, and less than half the cost on the 2nd. Interestingly, Kimi K3 handled the details at the same level as Fable 5 on the original creation, yet it wasn't at Fable's level for the pixel style. Test 1 (Pixel) Kimi K3: 1hr 11min · $14.5 Fable 5: 49min · $21 Test 2 (Original) Kimi K3: 1hr 17min · $19.3 Fable 5: 1hr 5min · $47.2
