Description
Strata was founded April 1988 by brothers Gary and Ken Bringhurst. As students at Brigham Young University, the Bringhursts frequently discussed a concept they had for a three-dimensional illustration software package. They envisioned desk top computer software that could produce professional quality images, which at the time was only available only for expensive graphics workstations.
They agreed their software must offer the most sophisticated visual effects, and yet be easy to use so that non-technical people could perform three-dimensional modeling, scene layout, animation and realistic rendering.
After graduation the brothers were employed in different parts of the country, Gary in Santa Rosa, Calif., and Ken in Salt Lake City. But they continued to develop their concept via long distance telephone. In April 1988 both resigned their positions, relocated to Utah’s Dixie, and founded Strata. The Bringhursts were familiar with St. George because of family ties to the area.
They felt the natural scenic beauty, relaxed lifestyle and recreational opportunities of the red rock desert Southwest made it the perfect location for them to pursue their vision.
