This might have been posted before but I don't recall seeing it.

Robby Ingebretsen @ Vimeo posted:
In 1972 Ed Catmull (founder of Pixar) and his colleagues created the world's first 3D rendered movie, an animated version of Ed's left hand. This is the film that they produced. It includes some "making of" footage (around 1:30) and some other early experiments. Read more at nerdplusart.com/??p=1106.

All that data for just a hand. That's pretty amazing. Someone had to come up with the first one. Gratz to Ed.
