Another innovation in building Amy was the use of a computer-controlled lathe for making character eyeballs. "Around the time of Congo," said Alan Scott, "we started creating eyeballs with corneal bulges for every character we built, to give the eyes a much more natural look. The dinosaurs in Jurassic Park had been fine with their little round eyes, but more expressive characters like gorillas or humans needed those corneal bulges to keep their eyes from looking dead. We'd tried creating the corneal bulges in the molding process, but that wasn't an accurate method. The only way to do them really accurately was with a computer-controlled lathe. We'd cast the eye as a solid sphere, and then we'd put it into the lathe and machine the corneal bulge back onto it - and it would be completely true."
