William Fetter, also known as William Alan Fetter or Bill Fetter (March 14, 1928 – June 23, 2002), was an American graphic designer and pioneer in the field of computer graphics. He explored the perspective fundamentals of computer animation of a human figure from 1960 on and was the first to create a human figure as a 3D model. The First Man was a pilot in a short 1964 computer animation, also known as Boeing Man and now as Boeman by the Boeing company. Fetter preferred the term "Human Figure" for the pilot. In 1960, working in a team supervised by Verne Hudson, he helped coin the term Computer graphics. He was art director at the Boeing Company in Wichita.

rdfs:comment	William Alan Fetter (auch Bill Fetter; * 14. März 1928 in Independence; † 23. Juni 2002 in Bellevue) war ein US-amerikanischer Grafikdesigner und Pionier der Computergrafik. Fetter erforschte ab 1959 die perspektivischen Grundlagen zur Computeranimation von menschlichen Figuren. Er war der Erste, der 1964 eine menschliche Figur als 3D-Computer-Modell für die Computeranimation in Filmen erschuf. Als First Man, Boeing Man und heute als BOEMAN von dem Unternehmen Boeing bezeichnet, bevorzugte Fetter den Begriff Human Figure für den Flugzeugpiloten. Im Team mit Verne Hudson prägte er 1960 den Begriff Computer Graphics. Er war damals Artdirector bei der Boeing Company in Wichita.

Som ung ingenjör hos Boeing var han år 1960 den första att använda begreppet computer graphics – det man på svenska kallar Datorgrafik – för att beskriva datorgenererade bilder. År 1964 skapade han "The Sitting Man" - den första datorgenererade bilden av en människa. (sv)
