No mention of The Rendering Equation / path tracing from James T. Kajiya in 1986? For shame!

Also I was surprised not to see mention of Cindy Goral's Radiosity paper, instead it being apparently developed much sooner, before raster output even?

No mention of Lance Williams inventing shadow mapping, absolutely ubiquitous until the recent increase in ray traced lighting and shadowing?

No joke, I might be a better historical record than this page! As a teenager spending all my pocket money at a crummy internet cafe, I found a huge archive of CG papers from SIGGRAPH and other conferences, going back to the 70s, and absolutely studied all those papers to death from printouts (since I was only allowed to use the home computer for 1 hour a day on the weekends until about 1997). I was also punished with detention for several weeks for "wasting" the Christian Brothers College boarding school printer for printing out all these papers when I said I was only going to print a few; I wore Veach's Thesis printout down until I could barely read the pages by the time I graduated high school in 2001, and nobody ever helped or encouraged me, studying completely alone in South Africa. Different times...
