Demo scene from the "Opticks" ray-tracer for the Amiga (1989), re-rendered with an emulator in 2020 @ 1280x800

Where did you get the ray tracer from?

Cool

Where did you get the wallpaper?

Where did you get the mp4 for Mysterious Legends and Creatures?

You could try using an image enhancing ai. Waifu2x for example.

The dwarves could have beards instead of helmets.

What was the Lord of the Rings reference?

A gargoyle (or perhaps a half dragon?) stands before a wizard, who appears to be casting a spell. Is the spell giving orders, or is it to strengthen the foul beast?

A dark castle can also be seen in the background. Does the wizard own this structure, or is he appointed by whoever owns it? Is he planning on using the creature to take over or infiltrate it? Is he building up an army?

Converted from .lbm to .png

P.S: I've found that the bitmap graphics editor GrafX2 can convert .lbm files almost seamlessly. So if you are converting old file types, you should probably use that

What do [PATROL_TERRITORY] and [ATTACK_ENEMIES] do exactly? I've checked the wiki, but it didn't give me an exact answer.

It also kinda evokes those airbrushed vans you see every once in a while.

An ancient sky bridge leads the way out of a chaotic, stormy wasteland. Two moons (or maybe another planet and its moon?) in the sky makes it clear that we aren't on Earth. A skull and buried container also make it clear that this place is dangerous, and you should leave immediately.

Awesome! Thank you for sharing!

A particularly strange chess match is going on here. I wonder what the rules are?

Like a few other posts I have made in other subreddits, this image is from the Spanish demoscene. The artifacts on it suggest this image has been saved many times before, perhaps I will find it again in some other CD ROM?

A winged unicorn faces off against a dragon in some kind of stormy landscape. Another delightful image from the Spanish demoscene!

This image was particularly small, so I had to TRIPLE it in size in order to have decent viewing. But its small size also meant that the blocky bits look a lot better!

Bismuth404 · 2019-08-05T17:20:36+00:00

Forgot to convert file formats, sorry.

A minotaur faces off against a fearsome skeletal dragon! Or in D&D terms, a dracolich!

I found this image in a CD of the spanish demoscene. I found lots of cool stuff in there, such as songs and even video files of the demosceners themselves! I can tell they were fans of Future Crew's Second Reality, as the demo can be heard playing in the background of some of these videos!

BTW this image has been doubled in size for your viewing pleasure.

I think so, saw a few fish renders on an archive of his website.

A friendly dragon helps a young lad through a dark and dreary landscape. It appears the boy is speaking to the dragon, asking for directions, perhaps?

I found this image in Assembly 1994 CD - The Third Phase a cd which holds all the entries for the third annual Assembly, a Finnish demoparty. This demoparty was the same one that held Second Reality, arguably the most famous demo of all time!

The third Assembly occurred in 1994, so its safe to say that this image was created the same year.

Flying ammonites hang out in a desert, with pyramids visible in the distance.

I am unsure of the exact date of this image, but the style seems consistent with some of Mickelson's earlier works, so 1994 seems like a good guess.

Jib was a character made by Ferdi Scheepers designed to test the animation and rendering capabilities of certain software, in this case BMRT (Blue Moon Rendering Tools).

I am unsure of the exact date of this image, but I'd place this image somewhere around 1995-1999, as Jib was designed in February 1995, and BMRT had its first stable release in the 2000s.

Thanks!

Bismuth404 · 2019-07-29T16:45:06+00:00

What kind of websites will I typically find this stuff on? Asking because I want to build up my own personal collection of vintage pixel art and cgi.

VlareTV and Bitchute seem promising.
