Bay Area ACM/SIGGRAPH 1989 Sutherland Lecture Computer Graphics Futures Ed Catmull, Pixar Computer In the last couple of years we have seen the full flower of computer graphics. 3-D interaction and photorealistic rendering are moving into the mainstream. There are many challenging new areas opening up: practical dynamics and physics simulations, use of more advanced math, and user control of very complex environments and animations. These challenges will require lots of computer power and new ideas.
