Ken Perlin’s homepage

For animation students: I thought you may be interested in the university home page of one of your potential heroes - Ken Perlin. Famous for “Perlin Noise”, academy award winner for technical effects and cg and instrumental in his work on “Tron”. Loads of java applets and computer science stuff - it may make a good essay to discuss when maths and science make art… computation graphics and that sort of thing.

Cheers

Ian
