Actually it was 1999 (and pre-me but I dug it up to read up on history):

I found that thread too but wondered if *that* was the original/earliest
mention of it? It probably is.
Except for Mick Hazelgrove hinting at a photograph, nobody (in the
thread) thought it was fake at the time? I am surprised. I do not
remember my own thoughts back then... ;-)

Look at the rest of the thread :) By default the web interface only
shows the first 10 messages...

Ouch! I sometimes forget the most simple things. Must be my age...;-)

Great! The ultimate would be a whole scene, landscape and all, made of
bubbles... ;-)
Maybe a space scene would be better: the Earth as a soap bubble...

Holy....
That's a very wonderful picture
I wonder which apparatus it would take to even just try to make that in
reality. with enough fans, wind tunnels, laser control, and a fast
enough mega-cluster to even just get a single fraction of second to have
that...
Next silly step (???): have a movie in which bubble Lucy get morphed
from or to a normal sphere.That would be a silly special effect!

You know that you've been raytracing too long when... :-P

Thank you :)

LOL, when I was rendering this I was thinking some sort of arcane wind elemental
control, or maybe just good old psionic ability to coerce a bubble into this
shape.

Actually, I'm rendering this into a simple 30-second bubbles-falling movie right
now (sans Lucy), but morphing all of Lucy's vertices into a sphere - that's a
great idea! Hmmm....

....you create a brilliant "new" concept for a render, only to discover in your
own archives that you'd already thought of that and rendered it rather artfully
15 years ago?
