I typoed - I started CG in 1980. At Draper Labs, in Cambridge, where the Apollo Moon Buggy was designed.
I remember the first full color image we displayed at Draper on a computer monitor. It was a scan of the Mona Lisa, and we had a graphics card and monitor that had 8-bit color, 800 by 600. It took about 40 seconds to display the image as it was read from disk. We all thought it was science fiction.
Renderosity forum reply notifications are wonky. If I read a follow-up in a thread, but I don't myself reply, then notifications no longer happen AT ALL on that thread. So if I seem to be ignoring a question, that's why. (Updated September 23, 2019)
