What is this old vfx tech called ? - sh.itjust.works
Hi everyone,
Years ago I came across a video on YouTube (most likely) that was about old
(70s/60s?) CGI technology.
IIRC it was basically a very fancy oscilloscope, took up a whole room and was
used mainly to produce 3D titles.
I think it was operated using a bunch of knobs.
My apologies for the limited amount of details, like I said it’s been years…
I hope you can help me scratch that itch, I’ve been trying to find it every now
and then but no luck :( Thanks for reading and for the potential help!

For packing joints.
I made a little baseball bat years ago for that purpose and recently had fun
making more different ones for friends.
As you can see I used a piece of rebar for the bat.
I “turned” it using a drill and angle grinder then going through different
grains of sanding:

The lightsaber’s hilt was made the same way, using a dremel tool to get more
control on the details.
The “blade” is made of Corian, a synthetic stone commonly used for countertops.
The sword required a lot more precision to make and ended up okay but looking
closely nothing is really symmetrical or straight…
I grinded it from a random stick of metal, the pommel is made from aluminum and
the grip is two layers of sewing thread soaked in superglue, sanded, then
superglued again.
A cross-guard would have added a lot of character but I didn’t find a nice and
easy enough way to do it, and I was short on time…

Gave it paper towel lips, I hope it isn’t against the rules!
