No, all you need is something with better resolution than NTSC or PAL
transmissions (which are not so hot), and the Amiga fits the bill just
fine. It just takes more time to render each frame, is all.

Seriously: I would recommend something like a Pixar or Iris for doing
Max-class animations, but there's nothing inherent in imaging that requires
a super-fast processor.
