Were you there at GSAP(P) at the time?
- eternalban 11y agoYes. 1990. [MArch]
- brenschluss 11y agoAh, I was '13 MArch, during the later part of Wigley's reign. Sounds like you were right there during the paperless studios? (Somehow I feel like the intersection of GSAP(P) MArchs and Hacker News is a very small set. Any chance you'd be willing to say hello over email?)
- eternalban 11y agoSorry for delay in response. I was there 90-93. The paperless studio -- ironic in context of OP and mention of "parametric design" -- started at the tail end, when the CAD approach was changed from one based on computational geometry (but sadly only exposed as a turtle type language) to use of Softimage. And let me take this opportunity to publicly, and for the historic record, shame Ken Kaplan, who grabbed and threw my SGI [Open]GL manuals across the aisle in the studio while making dismissive remarks regarding "computers" typical of the small minded men of questionable character. > the intersection I'm surprised you're here! :) If you wish to put an email in your profile I will follow up.
- brenschluss 11y agoSorry for the delay in my response! I just put an email in my profile - didn't realize it wasn't showing up. Ah. I still see brief remnants of attitudes that consider 'computation' to be somehow opposite to design, and am simply grateful that I don't have to take part in that discussion anymore.
