Abstract: While increasing effort is being made to employ computers in the drawing of pictures, most attempts are confined to the use of existing digital computers which are generally expensive to acquire and difficult to program. In addition such machines are inherently unable to handle the extremely high data rates necessary for dynamic animation generation with the detail and quality required by a graphic artist. Specialized hybrid computers, designed specifically for artist use, permit the generation of complex animated materials directly at standard cine or TV frame rates. The resultant high-speed, high-quality response to the artist's demands makes the systems well suited to the production of entertainment, educational, commercial and training films and videotapes. The new computers permit the artist to work with familiar tools in a familiar way and yet they permit him instantaneous control of shape, motion and color in a way never before possible.
