If you think they look good here, imagine what these two award-winning images look like in motion. Both are winners in the 1993 National Computer Graphics Association computer animation competition. First place in the Technology and Research Computer Graphics division, Liquid Selves (right) shows what you can do with a good idea, some imagination, and a high-powered parallel-processing supercomputer. The final product is a mixture of 3-D images and software tricks developed by Karl Sims of Thinking Machines Corporation. From humbler beginnings comes The Crow and the Pitcher (inset), third-place winner in the Student/Faculty category. Created by Christopher Walsh, a computer graphics MFA candidate at the Rochester Institute of Technology, this piece is Walsh's first computer animation and also his first-year thesis.
