90s CGI aesthetic

[I Love Beef]

"Now, I'm a little motivated!"

Though it's all on Wayback, Capcom's messed around with their servers and/or Wayback didn't capture everything on their old 1990s site, and even then, they didn't put all of their CGI pictures on the site.

Like this image.

Fuccccckkkkkk. There's GOT to be a raw image of this somewhere....

A lot of stuff posted lacks the surrealist quality I was going for

The Microsoft Dev Network CD's from 92-94 had some cool covers.

Going back to video games. This is my favorite one.

Here's a render of Mr. Bones in tribute to the legend @Spooky Bones

Finally I can share some of this cool stuff!

If you don't mind Web 1.0 layouts Digital Blasphemy is pretty good.
There is a Reddit too if you Don't mind scrolling for a bit and a YouTube Channel if you like to mix old 3D with DnB music!

I have a severe retardation in my brain that makes me identify the programs used. "Aah, this looks like a newer Terragen image, the fog is new but the trees are not".

OP, if you want pictures like the ones you posted or make similar things yourself, take a look at Bryce and @ToroidalBoat's avatar. He can probably provide relevant material and images for this thread.

I like the Mind's Eye series.

One of them is officially on YT: Jan Hammer - Beyond The Mind's Eye (Complete Film) [OFFICIAL] - YouTube

probably provide relevant material and images for this thread

I used Bryce 5 to make this avatar. If you do an image search for "Bryce 5" you can see art by others that looks similar.

also here's a render I made that could fit that "early 90s surreal feel":



(The world is Enceladus, a moon of Saturn (the texture map comes from a NASA map). I converted it to 2 colors using HyperDither.)

Properly going through the thread again, I can't believe no one's talking about Animusic. Like that's the quintessential '90s CGI aesthetic.

This one is one of my favorites

Uh, nostalgia.

Hot damn, I'm pretty sure I remember my uncle showing this to me on VHS.

The water effects on this are pretty damn 90's. I can't seem to find an isolated video of it, but if you know then you know.

There's two types of late 90s 3D that I love.


The First is the one you guys are mentioning, the stuff that can only be rendered on old Silicon Graphics computers, like the Donkey Kong Country looking stuff.



The second, however, is the stuff you see in late 90s video games when 3D was in its rough stages.

Here's an example, from the obscure Konami fighting game Battle Tryst (which ran on an obscure successor to the 3DO)

fun fact: character designs were done by the guy who directed the Ghost in the Shell movie.

Kid shows in the '90s and early '00s could also have that surreal look.

Like there was also this kid CGI show around 2000 about these robot people called "Rolie Polie Olie" that had an '80s or early '90s look.

Tech demo of sorts from the creators of Mental Ray. They're German so it's going to be weird.

[naaaaiiiiillllll!!!]

The 90s SciFi show “Babylon 5” was unique in that it used then state of the art CGI instead of models like Star Trek. People say it’s dated now, but I quite like the 90s CGI:

Character designer is Mamoru Oshii who directed the movies but is not the creator of GitS.

Oh shit man, I've used the same Digital Blasphemy wallpaper for YEARS now, at least a decade. I just keep buying the higher quality renders as I get higher fidelity monitors, I really like that guy's work

I think MTV used this video as a VJ backdrop sometimes. That or something like it. I remember seeing some surrealist CGI in the background while watching Andrew Dado midmornings. Not sure how you'd even find that stuff though. But it might have been from Jan Hammer's Beyond The Mind's Eye. Thats's where the Pantera video comes from.
