I always felt that Ron Thornton and his team at Foundation Imaging were sadly underrated and overlooked in computer graphics history.

B5's SFX had a dynamism and color that was unmatched at the time. I recently rewatched the series, and the later seasons still hold up just fine, graphics-wise (created by a different company, but reusing Foundation Imaging's original assets and esthetic).

And I love how the Star Fury's design was so carefully thought out - even NASA took an interest.
