make abstract concepts accessible to a broad audience. Dirty Pixels is an invaluable resource for anyone in the computer
graphics field.

Jim's contributions to computer graphics include the Voyager Fly-by animations of space missions
to Jupiter, Saturn, and Uranus; The Mechanical Universe, a 52-part telecourse of animated physics; and the computer animation

mapping, and blobby modeling.
