Computer Graphics Laboratories, Inc. (New York Institute of Technology) 3-D Animation System Product Job Opportunities For over a decade, the Computer Graphics Lab at NYIT has been developing software that has defined the state of the art in two-dimensional and three-dimensional computer animation. Computer Graphics Laboratories, Inc. was established four years ago to exploit this technology and is presently marketing the Image Manipulation and Graphic Enhancement System (IMAGES II), based on the 2-D software developed at NYIT's Computer Graphics Lab. Now CGL,Inc. is developing a 3-D animation system based on the lab's three-dimensional modeling and rendering software, which has been used extensively for commercial broadcasting animation. The 3-D animation product will have a wide range of applications, including broadcasting, advertising, entertainment, industrial design, and scientific simulation. The initial product configuration consists of two DEC Vax 11/780 computers, two Adage/Ikonas 3000 Graphic Processors, an Evans and Sutherland Multipicture System, a Sony BVH 2500 video recorder, and a Dicomed D148CR film recorder. The system includes proprietary software for modeling, animating, rendering, and recording. A 3D Product Development Group is being formed at CGL, Inc. to produce ongoing upgrades of both hardware and software and to maintain software that has been released. Software upgrades will be aimed at enhancing ease of use, speeding rendering time, and extending modeling capability. Software development will be pursued in cooperation with the 3D Animation System Development Group at NYIT's Computer Graphics Lab. Job opportunities prsently exist for people with the following qualifications: * skill in microcoding the Ikonas/Adage 3000 Graphics Processor (using GIA compiler) * experience with C programming language * experience with UNIX operating system If you are interested, please send a resume to Dr. Geoffrey Y.
