[comp.graphics] Video/Film

jefu@pawl.rpi.edu (Jeffrey Putnam) (06/29/89)

I may be teaching a class next year in which I would like to be able
to show some video (or film) of computer animation of scientific/technical
processes.  Stuff like modelling of airflow around an airframe, galaxies
colliding, cars crashing, molecules interacting and so on.  

Does anyone have any pointers to such?  

Please respond by mail as I gave up on trying to keep up with comp.graphics
some time ago.  Given interest and response I will summarize.  (The last
time I offered to summarize I got about a dozen requests for copies of
the information I got, and no information. :-( )

Jeffrey,  The NCGA (National Computer Graphics Association our of 
Washington D.C. has a demo reel of video animation that they put 
together I believe each year. I saw one last year and the "stuff" 
blew my socks off! I believe it is available...for a small fee like 
$50 or so. If you need more information...I can provide address or 
just call D.C. information.
