90s CGI aesthetic

[awoo]

Not even vaporwave, there is just something so optimistic and futuristic (also surrealist) about 90s CGI that if I ever make visual art I would like to try. My earliest memories with a computer were with Windows98 so maybe that's why I feel this way...

Check out the movie Fungicide.

I remember when this came out. Some of it is cute and some of it is frankly a little unsettling looking, was even back then IMO.

Far to many to name, but here's a few classics

Other N64 and PS1 games are just as viable

Also Toonami's Moltar during the late 90s can be included here as well.

Fresh from the greatest leak of all time. Some romhacker on YouTube has been posting a restored one of these renders ever day.

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!

Myst was probably the first computer game I ever played, I think my uncle had the entire series at one point.

I know this is realistic 90's CGI aesthetic but I think it still looks better than anything released now a days in cinema.

 

[Red Hood]

I miss Lara Croft as a cold blooded badass with balloon tits. None of this whiny waif with a bow crap.
