I decided to create a separate thread from the one about the workshop.

Babylon 5 is off topic, but the Amiga is on topic.

I wanted to explore how the Amiga was used to create the computer generated
graphics on Babylon 5. The creator of Babylon 5 called it CGI (Computer
Generated Imagery). The show used Amigas because it was really advanced
graphics at a much lower price than a Silicon Graphics workstation or
whatever was available at the time. Deep Space Nine was also on the air at
the same time, but they must have used something much more expensive.

Does anyone know which software was used?

Do the computer models used still exist from the TV show or were they lost?
