		Edwin Catmull (born 1945 in Utah) is a computer scientist who has contributed to many important developments in Computer graphics.
		While at the university, he invented algorithms for anti-aliasing and rendering subdivision surfaces and created, in 1974, his earliest contribution to the film industry, an animated version of his left hand for Futureworld, the science fiction sequel to the film Westworld and the first film to use 3D computer graphics.
		In 1993, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences presented Catmull with his first Academy Award "for the development of Renderman software which produces images used in motion pictures from 3D computer descriptions of shape and appearance." Again in 1996, he received an Oscar "for pioneering inventions in Digital Image Compositing".

		Ironically, his rebellious hand became the first milestone on Catmull's quest: it was the subject of his first computer animation project at the University of Utah.
		Later, while still a graduate student at Utah, Catmull came up with the concept of "texture mapping" — the process by which a flat 2-D image is applied to a 3- D computer-generated object.
		Soon after graduating, Catmull was recruited to head the newly formed Computer Graphics Lab at the New York Institute of Technology.
