Hi
I was sent this link with a film of an early 3D computer rendered
animation by Ed Catmull and Fred Parke:
http://nerdplusart.com/first-3d-rendered-film-from-1972-and-my-visit-to-pix…
I'd love to know more technical details and also if it really is the
first 3D film. Henri Gouraud published his techniques in 1971, this must
be a very early application at least.
Kind Regards,
Pontus.

Very cool. As for "first 3D film" I guess it really depends on what you
mean by 3D. I just picked up my copy of creative computer graphics
(which I blame for at least one of my unusual hobbies) and I see a 3D
approach to an airfield simulation from 1968. Admitedly it's only wire
frame, but I'd say that counts as 3D. The fact that only 4 years later
this hand animation with reaonable shading had been produced is a true
credit to those involved.

Yeah, I know. But as a non-practitioner of the field, he's using it
in accordance with common parlance, which infers "3D" to mean shaded
surfaces with hidden surfaces removed.
