40 Year Old 3D Computer Graphics (Pixar, 1972) from Robby Ingebretsen on Vimeo.

This short film demonstrating the cababilities of 3D rendering was made by Edwin Catmull, the current president of both Walt Disney Animation and Pixar Animation, in 1972. That’s almost forty years ago, and yet it is still an incredibly impressive feat.

Susana Polo thought she'd get her Creative Writing degree from Oberlin, work a crap job, and fake it until she made it into comics. Instead she stumbled into a great job: founding and running this very website (she's Editor at Large now, very fancy). She's spoken at events like Geek Girl Con, New York Comic Con, and Comic Book City Con, wants to get a Batwoman tattoo and write a graphic novel, and one of her canine teeth is in backwards.
