Ken Musgrave
Forest Kenton Musgrave was a professor at The George Washington University in the USA. A computer artist who worked with fractal images, he worked on the Bryce landscape software and later as CEO/CTO of Pandromeda, Inc. developed and designed the MojoWorld software.
Education
He obtained his Ph.D in Computer science from Yale University in 1993, writing his thesis on Methods for Realistic Landscape Imaging. He was referred to by Benoît Mandelbrot as being "the first true fractal-based artist".Software work
Musgrave designed the initial fractal-based programs on which Bryce was based, and later worked on designing the Deep Materials Lab component of Bryce.His work was featured in an article in the January 1996 Scientific American which discussed fractal curves. The article also described software he had designed which would generate entire Earth-size planets using semi-random procedural 3D, and then allow a user to fly or walk about that world, exploring mountains or forests, and choosing a scene to render to an image. The software eventually became a commercial release called MojoWorld, which went through three releases to end with version 3.1.1.
