3. Common Technology
3.1. 1972 SuperPaint is completed
3.1.1. SuperPaint is probably the first digital computer drawing system to use a frame buffer—a special high-speed memory—and the ancestor of all modern paint programs. It could create sophisticated animations, in up to 16.7 million colors, had adjustable paintbrushes, video magnification, and used a graphics tablet for drawing. It was designed by Richard Shoup and others at the Xerox Palo Alto Research Center (PARC). Its designers won a technical Academy Award in 1998 for their invention.
3.2. Maya
3.2.1. 1998 SGI
3.2.1.1. Silicon Graphics Incorporated (SGI) initially develops Maya as a next generation 3D animation tool, basing it on code from previous systems created by Wavefront and Alias. Maya quickly found adoption by video game and graphics industries, especially in film and television. Maya was the basis for three separate Academy Awards for Technical Achievement between 2003 and 20
3.3. Cuda GPU
3.3.1. 2007 Nvidia
3.4. Z Brush
3.4.1. 2003 Pixologic

3.5.1. 1998 Blender Foundation
4. Video Games
4.1. Magnavox Odessey- First at home Video Game Console
4.2. Spacewar
4.2.1. Created by Steve Russell
4.2.1.1. Had a program with a movable dot 1962
4.2.1.2. TX-0 experimental computer
4.2.2. Created 1962
4.3. 1957 First Computer Image on SEAC
4.3.1. Working with the SEAC team, Kirsch designed a rotating drum scanner, allowing him to digitize an image of his young son, Walden. The image, a five-by-five centimeter black-and-white shot, was the first image to be scanned into a computer. In 2003, Life Magazine noted it as one of the “100 Photographs that changed the world.”
4.4. 1963 BEFLIX developed at Bell Labs
4.4.1. Researcher Ken Knowlton, using the Lab's IBM 7094 mainframe computer, developed a specialized language for computer animation called BEFLIX. The language allowed Knowlton and collaborators, such as Stan Vanderbeek and Lillian Schwartz, to create 252 by 184 pixel images and animations using 8 shades of gray, which could be captured to film using a Stromberg-Carlson 4020 microfilm recorder.
4.5. 1960 DAC-1 computer aided design program is released
4.6. 1969 SIGGRAPH is founded
4.6.1. Founded in 1969 by Andy Van Dam, the Association for Computer Machinery Special Interest Group on Computer Graphics (SIGGRAPH) has become one of the most influential groups in computing. Starting in 1974, the annual SIGGRAPH conference attracted graphics professionals and provided an important meeting ground for discussion and presentations on the state-of-the-art, with many companies and researchers debuting new releases or techniques. It continues to attract computer graphics professionals from around the world to its annual conference.
4.7. 1972 Pong is released
4.8. 1977 Atari launches the Video Computer System game console
4.8.1. Atari releases its Video Computer System (VCS) later renamed the Atari 2600. The VCS was the first widely successful video game system, selling more than twenty million units throughout the 1980s. The VCS used the 8-bit MOS 6507 microprocessor and was designed to be connected to a home television set. When the last of Atari’s 8-bit game consoles were made in 1990, more than 900 game titles had been released.
