1 &2. Flush-Spot Dice (Stereo-scopic Version) by Randi J. Rost. This stereo pair demonstrates some of the capabilities of the ZZ-buffer algorithm. It contains only 14 polygons and five ellipsoids. The six faces of each die contribute 12 of the polygons; a large texture-mapped polygon is used to represent a portion of the surface of the craps table, and a small polygon rests on the top ellipsoid in order to have a flat surface for texturing the ”Casino – $5 – Rost” logo. Each side of a die is textured using a bitmap that modulates both color and opacity. Antialiasing and shadows with real penumbrae are supported through the use of stochastic sampling. They were created on a DECstation 5000/2000 and Matrix QCR- Z film recorder using a ZZ-buffer algorithm. Contact: Randi J.

Contact: John S. Willette, Emerald City, 2660 Horizon Drive S.E., Grand Rapids, MI 49546; (616) 949-9283.
59&60. Clearly Screwy by Ken Hamilton. Nine twisty NURB surfaces were rendered by a “visible curve” (or hidden curve”) algorithm. Silhouettes are computed as 3D NURB curves for each view of the model. For each view, the image is computed and stored as blanking data referenced to the parametric domains of the silhouettes and the surface boundary curves (which are also realized as 3D NURB curves). This is a high-resolution (object-space) realization of the model, and is rendered here via a pen plotter. Many thanks to the developers of CADDS4X and to Karman Dev for assistance with plotter. The images were created on a SPARCstation 1 and Calcomp pen plotter 1043 using CADDS4X Solidesign.

67&68. Flow through the Penn State Artificial Heart (Surfaces Colored by Vorticity Magnitude) by Cetin Kiris, Chris Gong, Dochan Kwak, Stuart Rogers. The stereo slides show the high shear regions which can damage the red blood cells in the blood flow. The surfaces of the artificial heart are colored by the vorticity magnitude in order to indicate high/low shear regions at cycle time of 0.375. At that time, the pusher plate is moving down in the main chamber, the inflow valve is open and the outflow valve closed. They were created on a Cray YMP and SGI 4D/70GT using PLOT3D, SURF and GAS.

Contact: Chris Gong, Sterling Software at NASA Ames, MS 258-2, Moffett Field, CA 94035; (415) 604-4459.
71&72. Temporal Displacement of Leakotriene by Jeffrey A. Thingvold, William R. Sherman, David K. Herron. Many dynamic time steps for each of the three molecules were rendered together with scaled down atoms, then superimposed to compare the shapes of the molecules over time. The images were created on a SGI 4D/240GTX using Wavefront Advanced Visualizer and various in-house software. Contact: Jeffrey Thingvold, NCSA at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, 605 E. Springfield Ave., Champaign, IL 61820; (217) 244-1996.

This is the first time such simulation and visualization have been done. The images were created on a Bull DPX 5000 and SGI 4D/20 using the author’s own software. Contact: Jean-Francois Colonna, Lactamme, Ecole Polytechnique, 91128 Palaiseau Cedex, France; 33-1-09-33-40-53.
77&78. Gaea & Selene by F.K. Musgrave, C.E. Kolb, B .B. Mandelbrot. Three spheres, three fractal procedural textures and an atmospheric model are combined in a ray-traced simulation of an earthlike planet and a moonlike satellite. (The three spheres are the moon, earth and the clouds.) Note the scattering model used in the atmosphere, which causes the polar caps to appear yellowish and the moon to appear as through smog, near the limb of the planet. As the models are entirely procedural, they can be rendered with any level of detail. Thus they are suitable for a continuous zoom or fly-by animation. The images were created on an Apollo DNIOOOO using Rayshade and C-Linda. Contact: Ken Musgrave, Yale University Math Department, Box 2155 Yale Station, New Haven, CT 06520; (203) 432-4016.
