Well, as I've said many times before, I'm a very big believer that the artist is far more important than the tools. Digital technology, when you think about it, is just a fancy pencil. Granted, it's the fanciest, most artistically liberating pencil we've ever come across, but it is still just a tool used to express an artist's imagination. And without the artist, you've got nothing.
That said, technology is always interesting so I'll answer your question: On Episode I, we used high-end Macintosh computers running Electric Image, Adobe After Effects, Commotion, PhotoShop, etc. On Episode II, we've added Alias Wavefront's Maya software to our toolbox and it's working out fantastically. We're using it quite a bit.
