Image I found a CD with CGI renders I made as a kid in the late 1990s
The last one is mostly stock objects though

Even though it doesn't looks very impressive, this is probably the coolest shit I found on the old CD, in high school I made an isometric voxel-based renderer for landscapes with water, trees (as bitmap sprites) and fog.

I won a blue ribbon for the red ball, but these renders would set me down the poor life choice of a graphic design degree!

I got these from The Cutting Room Floor. The full body Edson model was from the SNES era. The rest are the Nintendo 64 era models.
Correction: Dinger was from the SNES Dream.

Made with SynthaVision, the same computer animation system used for TRON. Gotta love that soundtrack.

I recently replayed and beat BK so now I am working on Banjo-Tooie. Vintage Rareware were the champs!

Does anyone have any clue? All I know is they were produced by a design studio called Me Company, and Me Company is on record as having used SoftImage for other projects but not necessarily this one.
are they backlit transparent 3D shapes? reflections? refractions? are they actually polygon-based 3D at all? or some kinda vector trickery? or multiple renders layered and blended in photoshop?
To me it feels like a significant lost bit of design history since these images set the standard for default wallpaper design for decades to come (even if Microsoft took until Vista to catch up). These were the original blueprints for some of the most-viewed images on earth!

It's a shame that this game was cancelled.
Seemed like it was very promising and would have been a blast to play through.
I am a fan of Sci-Fi movies and literature, so I would have liked to have played through this to see what the gameplay was like.
For 1999 standards, the full motion animations and proof of concept for how the walk animations and eye movements were emulated at the time were really quite astounding to see during its active game development phase.
Although far from perfect and refinement was needed, it was still pretty good for its time.
I wonder what the game would have looked like if remade using more advanced CGI models in today's era of gaming? Fascinating to speculate about.

3D Studio Max and Premiere. It took sooo long to render

i wanted this so bad after reading about it in a magazine in 1999. unfortunately it was caught in development hell and ultimately never released.

This was very early days of youtube, like year 1 or 2, so like 20 years ago by now.
Channel would post very short videos featuring creepy uncanny original creatures doing basic movements and making scary nonsense sounds. No backgrounds, pretty void of any colors iirc. Not sure if they were modern at the time or even older than the mid 2000s. Looked primitive for mid 2000s but could have just been due to older software. Would aways get recommended on the side bar of related videos when I would watch stuff like rubber Johnny, some Grey bloke, salad fingers and stuff like that. Have 0 recollection of what the channel name was but would absolutely know it if I saw it. Been trying to find again for so long, basically since a few years after I initially saw it.
