Yeah, I misremembered the Interstellar paper that said it was the first simulation for a movie and thought it was the first image simulation ever. It’s even referencing the old one there.
The first simulated images were actually computed decades ago, but I think Interstellar had the most detailed simulation by a high margin

Interstellar spent 100 hours of mainframe compute time per frame to simulate a black hole

Wow, that first one is so cool.
