The Stanford Bunny (and Hummingbird)

Linked to from A Critical History of Computer Graphics and Animation (which has both good history and some hard-to-find early CG videos, including Chuck Csuri’s Hummingbird (parts 1 and 2) and Tim Van Hook’s Pong Man) is a site dedicated to the Stanford Bunny dataset and the indignities to which it has been subjected through the years (fur, fracture and much else).

Zbig Rybczynski DVDs

A selection of Zbig Rybczynski’s early films and his HDTV work from the 80s is now available on DVD. Shame it isn’t HD-DVD. And shame I don’t have an HD-DVD player. Oh well. Really wish I could find this stuff on Japanese HD laserdisc (and that I had one of those ancient MUSE HI-Vision decks to play them on…)Oh and Happy New Year. I’ve been very busy with work and thinking, and this is the first thing I’ve seen this year that I’ve wanted to post. More to come soon…
