Hello, all. I wanted to inform you of an event on Fri, Dec. 8, 10am-Noon and 1-4pm PST (18:00-20:00 & 21:00-00:00 UTC) during which former and current Lucasfilm and Pixar employees will describe *The Development of RenderMan® for Photorealistic Graphics, 1981-1988*. Included will be the dedication of an IEEE Milestone <https://ieeemilestones.ethw.org/Milestone-Proposal:The_Development_of_RenderMan%C2%AE_for_Photorealistic_Graphics> bearing that title. The event will include a rich history of the progression of computer graphics (CG) technology. Earlier CG history is documented for an IEEE Milestone dedicated this past March for the inventive CG techniques that came out of the Univ. of Utah from 1965-1978 <https://ethw.org/Milestones:Development_of_Computer_Graphics_and_Visualization_Techniques,_1965-1978> . This event will be live-streamed here <https://ieeetv.ieee.org/live-events/RenderMan> from the Steve Jobs Theater on the Pixar campus in Emeryville, CA USA. If you cannot watch it at that time, sign up on that site to receive word back re: when it's been archived for later viewing. _________________________ Brian A.
