REGISTRATION STATEMENT ON FORM S-8
PART II
Item 3. Incorporation of Documents by Reference.
There are hereby incorporated by reference into this Registration
Statement the following documents and information previously filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission") by the Registrant:
1. Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 1998;
2. Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarters ended March 31 and June
30, 1999;
3. Current Report on Form 8-K, filed January 6, 1999 (as amended February
17) and July 9, 1999; and
4. The description of Registrant's Common Stock contained in the
Registrant's Registration Statement on Form S-4 filed with the
Commission on August 21, 1998, including any amendment or report filed
for the purpose of updating such description (File No.333-61569).
In addition, each document filed by the Registrant pursuant to Sections
13(a), 13(c), 14 and 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended
(the "Exchange Act") after the date hereof, and prior to the filing of a
post-effective amendment that indicates that all securities offered hereunder
have been sold or which deregisters all securities then remaining unsold under
this Registration Statement, shall be deemed to be incorporated by reference
herein and to be part hereof from the date of filing of such documents.
Item 4. Description of Securities.
Not applicable.
Item 5. Interests of Named Experts and Counsel.
Not applicable.
Item 6. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
The Company's Certificate of Incorporation and by-laws provide that the
Company shall, subject to certain limitations, indemnify its directors and
officers against expenses (including attorneys' fees, judgments, fines and
certain settlements) actually and reasonably incurred by them in connection with
any suit or proceeding to which they are a party so long as they acted in good
faith and in a manner reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best
interests of the corporation, and, with respect to a criminal action or
proceeding, so long as they had no reasonable cause to believe their conduct to
have been unlawful.
Section 102 of the Delaware General Corporation Law ("DGCL") permits a
Delaware corporation to include in its certificate of incorporation a provision
eliminating or limiting a director's liability to a corporation or its
stockholders for monetary damages for breaches of fiduciary duty. DGCL Section
102 provides, however, that liability for breaches of the duty of loyalty, acts
or omissions not in good faith or involving intentional misconduct, or knowing
violation of the law, and the unlawful purchase or redemption of stock or
payment of unlawful dividends or the receipt of improper personal benefits
cannot be eliminated or limited in this manner. The Company's Certificate of
Incorporation includes a provision that eliminates, to the fullest extent
permitted, director liability for monetary damages for breaches of fiduciary
duty.

Item 7. Exemption from Registration Claimed.
Not applicable.
Item 8. Index to Exhibits.
See Index to Exhibits.
Item 9. Undertakings.
(a) The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes:
(1) To file during any period in which offers or sales are
being made, a post-effective amendment to this Registration Statement:
(i) to include any prospectus required by
Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933;
(ii) to reflect in the prospectus any facts or events
arising after the effective date of the Registration Statement
(or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which,
individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental
change in the information set forth in the Registration
Statement;
(iii) to include any material information with
respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed
in the Registration Statement or any material change to such
information in the Registration Statement;
Provided, however, that paragraphs (a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii) do
not apply if the information required to be included in a
post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in periodic
reports filed with or furnished to the Commission by the Registrant
pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act that are
incorporated by reference in this Registration Statement.
(2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under
the Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be
deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities
offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall
be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
(3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective
amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at
the termination of the offering.
(b) The Registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining
liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the Registrant's
annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act
that is incorporated by reference in this Registration Statement shall be deemed
to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered herein,
and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the
initial bona fide offering thereof.
(c) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the
Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling
persons of the Registrant pursuant to the provisions described in Item 6 of this
Registration Statement, or otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that in
the opinion of the Commission such indemnification is against public policy as
expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim
for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the
Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling
person of the Registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or
proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in
connection with the securities being registered, the Registrant will, unless in
the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent,
submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such
indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will
be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

Re: Registration Statement on Form S-8
Ladies and Gentlemen:
We have acted as counsel to Engineering Animation, Inc., a Delaware
corporation (the "Corporation"), in connection with the filing of a Registration
Statement on Form S-8 by the Corporation under the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended (the "Registration Statement"), which Registration Statement registers
(i) 550,000 shares of Common Stock of the Corporation, par value $0.01 per share
(the "Common Stock"), reserved for issuance upon the exercise of options
issuable pursuant to the Engineering Animation, Inc. Stock Option Plan (the
"Plan") and (ii) 225,000 shares of Common Stock reserved for issuance upon the
exercise of options granted to Robert Nierman, Executive Vice President and
Chief Operating Officer of the Corporation, under a Non-Qualified Stock Option
Agreement (the "Option Agreement"). In that capacity, we have reviewed the
Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws of the Corporation, both as amended to
date, the Registration Statement, the Plan, the Option Agreement, the originals
or copies of corporate records reflecting the corporate action taken by the
Corporation in connection with the approval of the Plan and the Option Agreement
and the issuance of the Common Stock under the Plan and the Option Agreement and
such other instruments as we have deemed necessary for the issuance of this
opinion.
Based upon the foregoing, we are of the opinion that the Common Stock
to be offered under the Plan and the Option Agreement has been duly authorized
by all requisite action on the part of the Corporation and, when issued in
accordance with the terms and conditions of the Plan and the Option Agreement,
will be legally issued, fully paid and non-assessable.
We consent to the filing of this opinion as an exhibit to the
Registration Statement. In giving this consent, we do not admit that we are
within the category of persons whose consent is required by Section 7 of the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended.
Very truly yours,
/s/ GARDNER, CARTON & DOUGLAS
