Loren Carpenter's "Vol Libre" demonstrated fractal terrain to almost everyone for the first time. Loren went on to animate the Genesis sequence for Star Trek II, and then joined Lucasfilm Games to create real-time 3D fractal terrain on an 8-bit CPU for Rescue on Fractalus, Eidolon, and Koronis Rift.
