(thats right, no more abstracts  ) BTW does
anyone remember a NASA animation of Voyager
at Jupiter 25 years ago. The planet occulted
a bright star. With diffraction spikes! the
horizontal spike smoothly passed behind the
Planet. Then the star. Then the other
spike gradually passed behind! He He He! |
Remember 25 years ago CG was in its infancy.. there may well have been technical limitations. The animator of that piece, Jim Blinn gave an interview where he saw the animation on the news, and the anchor said "Here's the video that NASA got back from Voyager today."
