Loren posts Vol Libre on Vimeo
A few days ago, I posted links to a couple of videos that used fractal rendering techniques. One was the Genesis effect of Star Trek 2, Wrath of Khan, the other, a 4KB demo contest entry. My intent was to show how computer graphics have evolved over the past 25 or so years. But the reason I chose the Genesis effect was that I couldn’t find an online copy of a work called Vol Libre, Loren Carpenter’s 1980 film. I bump into Loren occasionally at lunch here at Pixar and mentioned it in passing.
I don’t know if this is a coincidence, but today on facebook, he announced that he had uploaded a copy of it to Vimeo. Thanks a bunch Loren! Sit back and enjoy the vintage computer graphics from a true CG pioneer, and you’ll probably be shocked to find out how similar it is to stuff you’d see in the modern “demo scene”.

I suspect the world would be better if that percentage were even greater.
Apparently 15% of all web traffic is cat related. There's no reason for Brainwagon be any different.
Thanks Mal! I'm trying to reclaim the time that I was using doom scrolling and writing pointless political diatribes on…
Brainwagons back! I can't help you with a job, not least because I'm on the other side of our little…
Congrats, glad to hear all is well.
