VisionArt's CGI Defiant

VisionArt Design & Animation is a company that rendered computer-generated images for use in Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, Star Trek: Voyager and Star Trek: First Contact.

They worked on the Changeling morph effect first seen in "Emissary". They also worked on Odo's transformation into a spinning top in "Shadowplay", the Changeling sea in "The Search, Part I" and "The Search, Part II", Odo's morph in "The Abandoned", the morphs in "Heart of Stone", Odo's "melting" in "Distant Voices" and several Changeling effects in "The Adversary", including the popular neck breaking scene involving Dennis Madalone.

VisionArt also created CGI models of starships such as the USS Defiant and the USS Mekong for when it was necessary to see those ships go to warp. The shot of the Defiant going to warp was first used in "Defiant".

For the new DS9 title sequence which first appeared in "The Way of the Warrior", VisionArt rendered the Defiant and the two runabouts that appear before the Deep Space Nine title as computer-generated. Other effects Vision Art worked on in that season include the artificial wormhole in "Rejoined" and the gas giant scenes in "Starship Down", where the Defiant, the Jem'Hadar fighter, the atmospheric probe and the cloud effects were all computer-generated.

VisionArt also worked on popular films such as Independence Day, Men in Black, Godzilla, Doctor Dolittle and Deep Blue Sea.
