The lightship which Knoll rendered as a CGI.
John Knoll is a visual effects artist, best known for his work on the Star Wars Special Editions and prequel films at Industrial Light & Magic.
He also worked on several Star Trek episodes and films. He was the visual effects supervisor on Star Trek Generations and Star Trek: First Contact. He had earlier designed the warp effect of the USS Enterprise-D for Star Trek: The Next Generation. He is also believed to have inserted a small digital model of the Millenium Falcon into the Battle of Sector 001 in First Contact. (citation needed • edit)
He also created the acclaimed CGI model of the Bajoran lightship for the popular third season Star Trek: Deep Space Nine episode "Explorers". He also rendered it again for the fourth season episode "Accession". In the Star Trek: Deep Space Nine Companion, he notes that, although he was busy with Star Trek Generations and Mission: Impossible, he found the time to create the lightship CGI model as he felt it was a cool design.
Knoll has also worked on other films such as Willow, The Abyss, The Hunt for Red October, Mission: Impossible, Deep Blue Sea and the Pirates of the Caribbean trilogy.
Knoll and his brother Thomas created Adobe Photoshop.
