I saw this page today and it got me wondering how many models there are in the prequels that I've been assuming were CGI. I tend to assume practically every scene in the prequels was computer generated. Can anyone provide some more examples that show what was computer-generated and what was physical models in the prequels?
Thanks!
There are a few more surprises here.
You need the book Creating the Worlds of Star Wars 365 Days by John Knoll.
I blog (apparently with typos) about it here: http://originaltrilogy.com/forum/topic.cfm/Creating-the-Worlds-of-Star-Wars-365-Days-by-John-Knoll-was-Millennium-Falcon-Exterior-Sets/topic/11713/
