Computer Animation Primer: "Pt. Reyes" -- Lucasfilm., April 1983. This landscape was defined using patches, polygons, fractals, particle systems, and a variety of procedural models. The various elements were rendered separately and later composited. The piece is very much a team effort, a one-frame movie, produced by Loren Carpenter, Rob Cook, Tom Porter, Bill Reeves, David Salesin, and Alvy Ray Smith.. "Maxfield" -- Lucasfilm Ltd., December 1983. The upper half of the picture contains computer-generated aspen and spruce trees by Bill Reeves. They are 3-dimensional and fully antialiased. The color scheme is inspired by Maxfield Parrish paintings. The lower half is handpainted using a computer painting program. The picture composition and painting are John Lasseter; the paint program is by Tom Porter..
