- wrong

- There is a process where you can render stills of the various views of a 3D
- object and those are put together to form a hologram. This technique was used
- to create some images of the Siggraph logo a few years back (the hologram was
- displayed at the entrance to the registration hall). I cannot remember the
- company that did it right now, but it can be done.
