IIRC Amigas with Lightwave were only used for the pilot episode of B5.

Afaik it was also partially used during rest of season 1 as well, while i think the pilot was pretty much entirelly rendered on amigas.

Those two you mentioned + these:
Star trek Amigas was used for ship modelling in star trek tng and ds9.
Jurassic park: I believe it was used for some simple overlay scenes.
There was also a pretty high rated french animation movie that was apparantly released last year, which was supposed to have been made on a amiga 4000. I sadly do not recall the name of this animation movie. The a4000 was even seen in the making of the movie, where you could clearly see that they used it for animating.

I also recall a funny part in late 90s.. "between 1996-1999 somehwere" They had a bunch of tv screens at our local airport showing information about airport and ads. One time i visited the airport it had a "software failure" and this was even on the huge projection tv as well as on all the other screens!

Oh yeah.. I also spotted an a500 in a porno flick when i accidentally swapped past tv1000 during the night ;)

The a500 was pretty much the main part of the plot.. It was hooked up to a virtual reality set, which enabled the user to have realistic sex in cyberworld using this a500.

And yes, the only reason i watched it was due to the fact that it had a Amiga in it.  :-P
