Banjo Kazooie vibes with this Alias6 test file. Just needs googely eyes and it would be Gruntilda’s cauldron 🤣

Did Rare use Indy workstations? 👀

Not a lot going on this week, but here are some teapots rendered in 3D Studio Max circa 1999 🫖

A new SGI workstation for the collection! Introducing the super sleek 1993/4 Indy. 24-bit, R4400, and loaded with video I/O.

Also, check out that original 1 GB factory drive with IRIX 5.1. Don’t see those too often.

Week two of the spring! This week was all about a new 3D office scene, along with the challenge of rendering it as a 40 second animation clip.

After Effects has come a long way since the 68K Macintosh.

No more Nubus video boards required!

Indigo 1 cleaning time… taking it all apart and making it work like new.

Phase 1 was just de-gunking the case.

Week six! This week was all about putting vintage Apple computers back together! The Macintosh 128K proved to be a formidable Shufflepuck (air hockey) opponent.

This has been a busy week! Working in 1994 SoftImage and then switching to Unity for the same scene was surreal. That’s a thirty year difference between the two programs!

“Mom, can we run SGI IRIX?”

“No sweetie, we already have a desktop Unix at home”

Continuing weekly writeups, this week focused on constructing a bizarre retro CG set. Check out my thoughts on using both a vintage Mac and modern Unity to render the same scene!

Some really chaotic 3D rendering in Infini-D today. Current mood is weird 90s spaces.

A new weekly writeup on WeatherSpanMX!

Fun fact: I almost bought a Meteorlogix satellite receiver to complete the look. Repeat after me: “You do not need a 20 year old satellite receiver box, Wave.”

Running my own weather broadcast system on a Silicon Graphics O2, just like in the 1990s!

What’s the weather for tomorrow? I don’t know, I made it up 🤣 No new data is available.
