William Fetter
William Fetter, also known as William Alan Fetter or Bill Fetter (March 14, 1928June 23, 2002), was an American graphic designer and pioneer in the field of computer graphics. He explored the perspective fundamentals of computer animation of a human figure from 1960 on and was the first to create a human figure as a 3D model.〔Herbert W. Franke. (″Computer Graphics - Computer Art″ ). Paidon Press, London, Phaidon Publishers, New York, 1971, p. 103〕 The ''First Man'' was a pilot in a short 1964 computer animation, also known as ''Boeing Man'' and now as ''Boeman'' by the Boeing company. Fetter preferred the term "Human Figure" for the pilot.〔William Fetter: ''Computer Graphics at Boeing.'' In: ''Print Magazine'', XX:VI, November/December 1966, S. 29.〕 In 1960, working in a team supervised by Verne Hudson, he helped coin the term Computer graphics. He was art director at the Boeing Company in Wichita.〔William Fetter: ''Computer Graphics at Boeing.'' In: ''Print Magazine'', XX:VI, November/December 1966, S. 26.〕〔Robin Oppenheimer: (''William Fetter, E.A.T., and 1960s Computer Graphics Collaborations in Seattle'' ) from ''www.academia.edu''.〕
== Life ==
Born in Independence, Missouri, Fetter attended school in Englewood and graduated in 1945 from Northeast High School in Kansas City. He studied at the University of Illinois where he was awarded a BA in graphic design in 1952. His professional career started while studying at the University of Illinois Press (UIP), an American university press. Employed there from 1952-1954, even at this early date he thought of using computers as a tool for his work as a graphic designer.〔 He wrote in 1966:
In 1954, he became art director for ''Family Weekly'' magazine in Chicago. In his article "Computer Graphics at Boeing" for ''Print'' magazine he wrote that he was interested in developing a computer program that could simplify the designing of the magazine in the closing stages.〔William Fetter: ''Computer Graphics at Boeing.'' In: ''Print Magazine'', XX:VI, November/Dezember 1966, S. 26–32.〕 Together with a computer manager, he worked on the development of a program but before the project was completed, Fetter accepted employment as art director of Boeing in Wichita in 1959.〔
