C. Scott Young: The VRML Knight

A brilliant, shining light of a young man. I was introduced to his work, and had the opportunity to meet this Scott at Siggraph 97. He left an indelible impression on me. Still an inspiration to me, I recently did a search for him after wondering "where is he now?"

Sadly, I have learned that he passed on in 2008. Thankfully, his spirit and work have been preserved by friends who, like myself, were touched by his creativity and his passion.

Here is an archived video I discovered of his presentation at The Contact Consortium's Avatars97 conference.
