Abstract :
This realistic yet fantastical image of the new Boeing 767 jet airliner was produced by Digital Effects, Inc., as part of a computer graphics animated television commercial for All Nippon Airways in Japan. Animator Alan Green obtained the CAD/CAM database for the 707, which, incidentally, is the first commercial airliner designed entirely on a computer, and entered the database into Digital´s IBM 4341. A DECPDP-11/34 was also used for image processing, and the final result was transferred to film using a Dicomed D48C film recorder.
