Nice to see computer graphics pioneers being recognized. Reading Ed Catmull's name always brings fond memories of learning mesh processing techniques they first thought of, like the Catmull-Clark subdivision (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Catmull%E2%80%93Clark_subdivis...). Elegant stuff.

I think the later development of mixed triangle/quad subdivision by Warren and Schaefer is even more elegant, besides being more general: http://faculty.cs.tamu.edu/schaefer/research/tutorial.pdf

Ah, the Stanford bunny. It's been a decade since I last worked with it in grad school, but I can't help feeling fond for the little guy. We spent hours and hours of frustration together.
