    the primary giveaway that this is modern is the texture filtering on the checkerboard plane. OG renderers handled high-frequency detail really poorly, showing whatever color the sampler happened to hit. Modern renderers blend them to an average, grey in this case.

    Memories of me playing with this stuff on my pentium 133MHz and 16MB (yes, I upgraded it) of ram in 1999

        Bryce3d, that’s the name I was trying to remember! Yeah, that was so fun! Spending hours just fiddling around without a clear goal, just trying stuff.

        Oh I figured it was modern… your title says as much. But it would absolutely look at home on the cover of half a dozen books homie still keeps on his shelf 🤓

        In fact I’m going to pass a link along because he was just asking me about learning blender.
