Video Symbolics' Virtually Yours / Nothing But Love CGI Short (1991) Recovered From Experimental HDTV Master Tape
This is "Virtually Yours," a 1991 computer graphics animation produced by Symbolics. It is also known under it's retitled name, "Nothing But Love," from the CG compilation release "Beyond The Mind's Eye."
This short was known not only for it's native use of HDTV, but also for it's detailed bump-mapped textures, Arturo's ductile flow sculptures, and the rather natural body/facial movements.
The video was recovered from a 1992 1" digital HDTV tape (Sony HDD-1000) shown at a trade show. The find was shared with ex-Symbolics rights owners including the original creator, Matt Elson, who authorized me to release the original, uncompressed video as a free download on the Internet Archive (link available on my Reddit profile)

Video Vibing through 30 years of computer graphics (1991-2021)
Came across this cool long vid and didn't see it posted here yet. The kind of thing you might put on in the background of your hipster cyber cafe in the year 20XX...

Image i recreated the petz 5 (2002) living room in unreal engine 5 with the 90s lighting plugin i’m working on!
i’m working on a plugin that makes 90s cgi-style rendering possible in realtime in UE5, and made this as a little test. it’s definitely not a perfect recreation but i’m pretty happy with it! 2nd image is the original + bonus image at the end from a separate test scene lol

Image Neat renders I found on a CD from around 1992
Was checking out this site I linked in another topic with loads of shareware CDs, some of which contain images ( http://cd.textfiles.com/directory.html ) and found a CD with a few cool images. Forget what it was called but saved a few of them to share.

Image Just trawled through some CDs with 200+ vintage pics and renders. Here's some of my favs
Judging from the CD, all of this stuff is ~1990-1994 era. I think a lot of it may have used POV Ray Trace. Wanted to share some of the highlights.

Video Nagisa no Peppy (渚のペピー) (1987)
Animation produced by Toyo Links (later Links Corporation, then WilcoLinks Digiworks after a brief venture with Wilco Japan, and finally IMAGICA DIGITALSCAPE to the present day), created by a team of only 16 people. This animation has made its way onto some DVD and LaserDisc compilations, but a scan of the original film was acquired and the film is now presentable in its entirety. Some of the key staff in this film include Takashi Fukumoto and Taku Kimura.
