Does anyone know how they made the graphics for Donkey Kong Country for SNES?? It looks to me as if they used a 3d program for the sprites like 3d studio max or something and rendered each animation and saved it as a bitmap and then used it in the game. Can some one please tell me?

You''re right.. they rendered every single frame on several SGI Workstations in high-res...
Then they recalculated the resolution down to SNES screen resolution...
