Fwd: 1979 CGI on PDP-11/70 w/Tektronix 4014

with the Tektronix terminal is what kept me interested in programming and made me want to study computer graphics. Hi Guys, I finally got around to having some old Super-8 movies converted to QuickTime, and then posted them to YouTube. These show some wireframe computer graphics I developed in high school thanks to project Delta. A bit crude but bear in mind that it's 1979 and I didn't refer to any literature and wrote it all in Basic+2 spaghetti code ;-) Graphics shot directly from Tektronix display (stop-motion used to get animation effect) using high-speed B&W film. Note many of the scenes are stereoscopic: if you have a viewer you'll see the stereoscopic image or if you cross your eyes you will see the image with reverse perspective. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ue4Yo_a34XM Music video for Pink Floyd's "Welcome to the Machine". This is primarily pastel on paper, but there is a portion in the middle using printouts from the Tektronix display which I colorized by holding a match under the paper. There's also a shot of a Beehive (?) terminal at the end running a rasterized Game of Life. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IAfK1rL9fCw -Ralph -- Ralph Gonzalez ralphgonz at gmail.com -- "The Direct3D Graphics Pipeline" -- DirectX 9 draft available for download <http://www.xmission.com/~legalize/book/download/index.html> Legalize Adulthood! <http://blogs.xmission.com/legalize/>
