- James F. Blinn is a computer scientist who first became widely known for his work as a computer graphics expert at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL), particularly his work on the pre-encounter animations for the Voyager project, his work on the Carl Sagan documentary series and the research of the Blinn–Phong shading model.
- James Blinn dit Jim Blinn est un chercheur et informaticien américain spécialisé dans le domaine de l'infographie. En 1970, il reçoit un bachelor en physique et en système de communications. Il obtient plus tard un master de l'université du Michigan. En 1978, il décroche un doctorat en informatique à l'université de l'Utah. Blinn fait partie des pionniers qui dans les années 1970 imaginèrent des solutions pour afficher des objets virtuels en 3D en tenant compte de la lumière et des matériaux. On lui doit entre autres la technique dite du bump mapping qui permet d'afficher de manière réaliste des surfaces rugueuses.
