Old 3D graphics

[DollarTaco]

I'm not sure why there was random footage of a fractal there.

[idividedbyzer0]

@DollarTaco Gotta love the Mandelbrot set. xD

[RABBIDGamfan]

Super-8 celluloid film seems like an odd medium to film this on.

[lkesteloot]

@RABBIDGamfan You're right, but I had nothing else to convert a series of images to a movie.

[RICKROLLBLENDER]

AWESOME!!!

especially for the time! =D

[julienmauricemort]

i use to have an old 1999 computer with windows 98 and it had almost good graphics for modern games lol

[philiptwood]

I bet it took weeks on end to render that.

[philiptwood]

I bet you it took weeks on end to render that.

[almann1117]

[phdecora]

mandlebrot set is not 3d

[espejismooo]

in minute 0.03, is like a subliminal message, is like a skirt. wtf

[lkesteloot]

You're right! I've never seen that. It looks like burned film. Maybe it burned once in the projector?

[killerhobo97]

@lkesteloot looks like a fish to me

[wadad17]

@espejismooo

[thedarkdragon735]

@espejismooo yeah, 8mm film burns all the time

[Rakrent]

@espejismooo Looks like a burnt out frame (from a projector lamp) to me. Haven't seen one of those in years.

[Res0lut1on]

Very impressive.

[PremierSullivan]

This is actually pretty impressive for the 80s.  Was it realtime or prerendered?

[lkesteloot]

Pre-rendered. The polygonal frames took a few seconds per frame. The fractal and ray-traced frames took about 30 minutes per frame.

[bobjoe212x]

ouch :(

[dosadaff]

Prerendered of course lol.

[TexasLife123]

[Kg277]
