  • The animation Vol Libre by Loren Carpenter introduces the computer graphics world to fractals at the SIGGRAPH Electronic Theater. It is a fly-through of mountains generated by fractals, inspired by Loren's love of hang-gliding. The audience was astounded at the level of detail at a time when the vi text editor was the dominant modeling tool.
