ABOUT THE COVER Game Technology Extends Its Reach Hans Westman Computer Graphics Cover Editor Expanding on the subject of games, which we have covered in many recent issues, we are continuing the theme with an article on how components of video game technology are being used more widely than just developing product for entertainment. Sue Blackman is an artist in southern California who wears many hats during the week. Besides creating jewelry at a shop in Newport Beach and teaching for the Game Art & Design Department at The Art Institute of San Diego, she is also a demo artist for Radish Works/Right Hemisphere whose joint product, Deep Creator, is used for applications that are more than video games. Sue has written a comprehensive article about something called serious games, which gives Computer Graphics readers an excellent introduction as to what that is. The design created for this issue s front and back covers utilize images provided by Sue that illustrate the odd mix of employing real-time 3D applications for the serious business of design, manufacturing and training entertaining.

He discovered animation as an art form in the late 70s, which resulted in an experimental film entitled Unitism. In 1987 he was exposed to computer manipulated imagery and has been working professionally with the medium ever since. He is currently the Academic Department Director for Media Arts & Animation at The Art Institute of Pittsburgh.
