Abstract

Ten years ago the task of producing hidden-surface pictures by computer seemed untractable. Courageous men pressed forward nonetheless, and today we can have quite beautiful renderings of solid objects generated by computer in remarkably short times. The pictures being produced today and the speed of the programs producing them are beyond any but the wildest dreams of ten years ago.
