I will serve as President of Walt Disney · Animation · Studio and Pixar · Animation · StudioEdwin CatmullMr. Fred Park, his colleague at the time, was the first in the world to model his left hand model3D renderingA movie that has been released on Vimeo. One thing surprising is that the movie was created in 1972.

40 Year Old 3D Computer Graphics (Pixar, 1972) on Vimeo


The technology used in the movie is that it is the same as the 3D rendering used in today's games, movies, and special effects that model and render from the subject.


It seems that the character "HALFTONE ANIMATION" is also created with CG.


"A Computer Animated Hand"


The hand of 3DCG projected on the screen.


It rotated with Gurun.


You can rotate and see the back of the hand. Although fine parts such as wrinkles are not expressed, the hand shape and joints are depicted firmly.


The image was created by rendering the actual hand model.


It seems that the 3D polygon part was drawn directly on the model.


Although it is not possible to distinguish the written letters, you can see that the figures are densely written on the entire model. I rendered this graphic information and output it as 3DCG.


Data is converted using a device ......


It outputs that data as a straight line.


This is done with halftone processing without smooth shading.


Adding smooth shading makes it more realistic.


It is unbelievable that the image in which the rendered hand is moving was made in 1972.


A hand pointing toward the screen.


When the palm is facing upwards ......


You can see it inside the hand.


The camera enters the hand as it is.


This is the face of animation drawn with just a straight line.


When smooth shading was applied to the face drawn with only a straight line, it approached the actual face.


In addition, the world's first 3D rendered movie created by Mr. Catmull and others was discovered by a Hollywood producer and released in 1976 the movie "future worldIt was used for.
