THE MOVIE USHERED IN A NEW ERA IN SPECIAL EFFECTS.

Director and co-writer James Cameron first thought of the idea for X while stressed out and fever-stricken in Rome
during production on his low-budget horror movie, Piranha II: The Spawning, which he had reluctantly agreed to direct.
After a hard night of editing his own cut of a movie he hated, Cameron dreamed of a solid chrome torso crawling out
of an explosion and dragging itself across the floor. The director quickly cooked up the story of an assassin ,and after
adding some details, X was born.

James Cameron tasked the effects artists at Industrial Light and Magic (ILM) to bring a photorealistic liquid metal
Terminator to life for T2 using CGI.
Thirty-five different ILM artists worked for six months on shots that would only equal about five minutes of screen time
in the 136-minute movie. To help them create the morphing effects, they used a new piece of software developed by
ILM artist John Knoll and his brother. The software was actually the very first version of X?
The new model of this car in The NSX was designed by a team led by Chief Designer, Masahito
Nakano, and Executive Chief Engineer, Shigeru Uehara. It benefitted from advanced aerodynamics
and styling inspired by a F-16 fighter jet cockpit[3] and input from the late Formula One World
Champion, Ayrton Senna, during the final development stages.
