You are really tempting me to write a long thought-out comment about how to draw a pair of buttocks, with lots of citations and quotes and code samples and a good dose of gratuitous partial differential equations needed to meet the paper quota for impressive formulas. [1]
Butfirst [2] I will refer you to my previous long thought-out comment about Sun Microsystem's dress code, the practice of "Skinnyhacking" [3] pioneered down the road at SGI [4], and the full names of the nude hackers involved [5], as well as a citation to the 1992 SIGGRAPH proceedings, and a link to a pdf of the paper [6] including a photograph of the Skinnyhackers in all their glory:
"Fast Shadows and Lighting Effects Using Texture Mapping", by Mark Segal, Carl Korobkin, Rolf van Widenfelt, Jim Foran, Paul Haeberli, Silicon Graphics Computer Systems. Computer Graphics, 26, 2, July 1992, Page 252, Figure 3: Simulating a Slide Projector.

- kcplate 4y agoI am admittedly old, but when the hell did tech folk get so goddamned serious that ass/fart jokes and lame puns became such objects of derision and not badges of honor among us? This post epitomizes creative problem solving and creative butt jokes Once upon a time we ruled this world…now we have become that disapproving aunt who thinks the world is going to hell because Johnny Carson let George Carlin talk about bad words on his show.
