#Quote
1[on changes in the animation world] When Walt Disney started, people didn't know how to make films. They were figuring out how to add color, how to sync sound. When Walt died they stopped advancing the technology. And they also went downhill in their films. I think that's related.
#Fact
1Is known for creating texture mapping, a process in computer animation where you can put life like textures on 3D geometry.
2Graduated at University of Utah with a PhD in Computer Science.
3In 1972, he created the first piece of 3D animation, his own left hand. It was so impressive that it was put into the 1976 film Futureworld.
