- I picked up the following QuickTime movies recently from sumex-aim.stanford.edu.
- If you hurry, you may still find them there.
-
- Luxo Jr -- the famous computer-generated animation from Pixar, featuring a
- pair of anglepoise lamps and a couple of rubber balls. The image is pretty
- small (the credits at the end are just barely legible), but even so the
- movie file is about 4.5MB in size.
-
- To the Giant -- an animation inspired by the famous NASA planetary flyby
- simulations created by Jim Blinn. This one was done on a Mac with Infini-D
- and MacRenderMan.
-
- Monterey currents, early July -- an animated map, showing the changing pattern
- of ocean currents in Monterey Bay in California over a period of several days.
-
- MandelMovie -- this one I found fascinating. It's a series of pictures of
- the Mandelbrot set, at successively greater magnifications. The guy generated
- 250 separate images, each at about 10% greater magnification than the previous
- one. Play the result back as a movie at 10 frames per second, and you find
- yourself falling down into the Mandelbrot world.
