Four years later, computer animation has exploded. Conferences on computer animation have appeared and the topic is recognized in well-known journals as a leading theme.

Computer-generated film festivals now exist in each country and several thousands of films are produced each year.

From a commercial point of view, the computer animation market has grown considerably.

TV logos are computer-made and more and more simulations use the technique of computer animation.

What is the most fascinating is certainly the development of computer animation from a research point-of-view.
