Yes it was. Amazon provides a veritable feast of information on the film and
its sequel.
"Director Spielberg, Steven was worried that "computer graphics" meant
"Nintendo" type cartoon quality. He originally only wanted the herd of
gallimimus dinosaurs to be computer-generated, but upon seeing ILM's demo
animation of a T-rex chasing a herd of galamides across his ranch, he
decided to shoot nearly all the dinosaur scenes using this method. The
animation was first plotted on an Amiga Toaster, and rendered for the film
by Silicon Graphics' Indigo workstations."
