I LOVE 90S AND EARLY 2000S CGI. IT LOOKS SO INTERESTING AND UNIQUE. AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

YEAHHHHHHH. JUST MAKE EVERYTHING FUCKING CHROME, AND WEIRD, CAUSE IT'S THE BEST WE CAN DO.

I MEAN LOOK AT THIS DOOOOOOD. YOU'LL NEVER GET A GENUINE CHARACTER DESIGN LIKE THIS AGAIN.

>>149040881
I like how early CGI leaned to making everything robotic.
That said, in the case of reboot a lot of the human designs owe a lot to Brendan McCarthy's style being full of strange things

>>149041007
>Brendan McCarthy
I'm still feeling retarded for not clocking it earlier. When you look at ReBoot, you can pretty much see how the artstyle looks like his comics but in the 90s 3D.
Not a cartoon, but same goes for Fury Road

>>149040881
Real Adventures of Jonny Quest had its moments but it really didn't age well when it comes to CGI. Even by the standards of the 90s.

a bit disingenuous to compare >>149040872 and >>149040881 with >>149040857 (OP), bud.

Using this thread to say that 2000s Action Man is underrated.
Also still having a faint hope that coomers would latch onto Fidget or Asazi to give the show a popularity boost.

Fun story, he basically pitched the Mad Max parody game of Reboot as a way to pitch another Mad Max movie with his concept art
To tie into this thread, you can tell the Megabyte truck was designed to make it easier for the modellers. Basically just grafting the Megabyte head, alterit a bit, and graft it onto a truck model.

>>149040881
>>149041180
>>149041185
Yeah, Real adventures is particularly nutty in that the CGI bits were made in a literal garage

>>149041185
>>149041266
I'm legitimately not shitting on it. I think these are fucking awesome.

>>149040857 (OP)
I just like how everyone's facial features were in the right place, with the right proportions.
>>149040881
well, almost everyone. this actually looks more like modern CGI in terms of the face shapes.
>>149041209
Action Man and Max Steel were the first time TV CGI was ugly, along with Beast Machines, and it made me sad.. why not be pretty.

>>149041427
>Action Man and Max Steel were the first time TV CGI was ugly, along with Beast Machines, and it made me sad.. why not be pretty.
Ambition mainly. hey weren't necessarily trying to look uglier, they were just trying to do more(more human models, more detailed enviroments, more detailed designs) and just couldn't pull it off.

>>149040857 (OP)
Jimmy Neutron was the first good-looking 3D show

>>149041576
>>149041427
It wasn't ugly

A good chance Mainframe was involved with this too, but I haven't looked into it

>>149041209
Severe lack of Fidget and her twin.

>>149041209
>Also still having a faint hope that coomers would latch onto Fidget or Asazi to give the show a popularity boost.
We both know that's not going to happen (both of those)

>>149040857 (OP)
We nearly got a TMNT show in that era with CGI. This was test footage made before the 03 series

Is anyone else following ReBoot rewind? They released remastered episode 1 of ReBoot awhile back as a preview. They're the guys who got a hold of all the masters somehow with Canadian magic or some shit I dont know the full story

https://youtu.be/inKdUICLmXY

>>149040857 (OP)
early 3d is dogshit and just looks primitive and terrible and outdated this bout of nostalgia is ten times more retarded than the pixelshit revival

>>149041023
>>149041007

Brendan McCarthey was the one who conceived of the whole Bob getting lost in the web plot. He had a pitch and concepts written out about a whole spinoff about it but it got truncated into the arc we see in the show. It would have had him survive using a zoom room from season 4, web creatures building cities from data from gamecube, and an illuminati cult who ran the web from behind the scenes that would have been hinted at through hidden symbols messages hidden in the show for foreshadow. All his crew were actual characters and some were cut.

Hexadecimal gave me my I can fix her crazy female villian fetish.

>>149040857 (OP)
Mind's eye series looks good. 3D for surrealist art is always the shit.

>>149041579
Eh I think Insektors was looking fine already. Also Jimmy Neutron was ugly was sin

>>149043239
I mean, Bob literally does mend her face together and fixes her.

If this thread isn't dead later I found a bunch of high res renders from somewhere I was going to post and they look so good. Also watch the reboot rewind documentary. It's so funny. You get to see all their workstations and how they made everything and all the shit they had to go through and how they worked from strip clubs. Which explains all the women in this show. Also Dot was inspired by Kira from DS9

>as a preview
they specifically said they won't be releasing any other full episodes, as they don't have permission to do so. any further usage of the remastered footage will be used for documentary clip purposes only.
> got a hold of all the masters somehow with Canadian magic or some shit I dont know the full story
they were doing the documentary series and asked Rainmaker for archive access.

>>149043155
I can see why it wasn't picked up. The models are "fine" for the time but the general feel looks incredibly basic and ugly. The 2012 show did a whole lot better with CG with the stylization and animation.

>>149040857 (OP)
Early CGI is its own aesthetic and is rad.

>>149042903
Hot

>>149043155
Is cool but technology wans't there yet to make normal stuff in cgi, look at the spiderman cgi show, it was weird and hard to watch.

>>149043233
This is a great art on its own

>>149043276
You're going to have to give me a source because that would be the most disappointing thing I have ever heard. Going through all that work to release nothing to the public. And Mainframe released that video on their own channel.

>>149043308

>>149043327
>Going through all that work to release nothing to the public.
and, you know, preserving the media

>>149043321
I wish I has more to post. A lot of it doesn't seem to be scanned on the internet or in old books I can't find. Brendan McCarthey posted some to is Twitter too though but that's a pain digging through

>>149043224
>>149043233
>>149043238
They need to do a revival comic where we see the gang trying to escape The Cloud

>>149043338
>preserving media
>can't watch

If a bear shits in the woods I don't care.
And you still didn't give me a source you nigger.

>>149043353

>>149043356
>If a bear shits in the woods I don't care.
do you not understand the concept of backups, are you an idiot
>And you still didn't give me a source
i don't have the source on hand and any efforts i could make to find it could also just... be done by you, so i'll leave it up to you if you want it so badly. it's no skin off my back if you believe me or not, i already understand the stated reality of the situation.

Last web world thing I have but there's so much stuff in the story bible I posted

>>149043353
Especially if they could get Brendan McCarthey to do it. There's a lot of huge gaps in time that we never see that would be great to revisit in some form.

>Twin Mainframe full of sprites when Dot and Enzo were a kid before their dad blew it up
>Megabyte's time in the Web
>Daemon's rise to power behind the scene

I mean we get some of it in season 4 but its not a lot and kind of bad writing compared to season 3.

>Enzo and AndrAIa's time before their relative timeskip
>We never got to actually see them grow up over time
>Its implied Enzo is a killer which is why he can't face Bob but its never shown

Or just anything in any other system there are trillions of computers systems now probably

>>149043372
The web and The Cloud are different things
The Cloud is data being stored virtually, not transferred from one address to another

>>149043403
>>Its implied Enzo is a killer which is why he can't face Bob but its never shown
anon we literally see him kill someone in his first adult episode

>>149043403
>Terabyte is created when Megabyte takes over a human player's in-game avatar and uses their internet connection to spread across the globe

>>149043394
>be done by you, so
Burden of proof is on you buddy

>>149043403
>Its implied Enzo is a killer which is why he can't face Bob but its never shown
????

Fuck I dropped bob

>>149043407
Shit I don't know how computers work anymore. I wonder how they'd adapt all this shit into ReBoot now though. Its not like anything ever made much sense back then either.

end

>>149043455
"The Cloud" is just remotely accessed computers, used for either other-location data storage or program processing. It's named "Cloud" because people often access those services with their wireless devices, sending their data "into the air".

>>149043443
I mean we never see the people he must have killed before that. But also my memory is shit too. I just want to see his backstory more and what they went through to get so badass and hardened.

He got weird about killing people when he found Bob again though. It was like he wa fine with being that way until he met Bob again and it reminded him of who he used to be. And the he didn't kill Megabyte as an end to that arc. And I think that was right before?

One thing I know I'm right about is the documentary said andeaia barely wore any clothes and bigger but they had to tone her down and her killing that bitch with her fingernails was the coolest shit I've ever seen.

>>149042903
Weird that Widget is unnoticed.
I thought "angry redheaded gremlin" archetype is apparently popular enough to attract some attention.

>>149043508
imo her and her sister are just not so good looking

>>149043378
>>149043224
It's interesting to see that those weird winged things were originally supposed to be web creatures/degraded binomes, since the only time we see them in the finished product was in the system with internet ports. It's either a simple case of concept repurposing, or some benign web beings manged to leak out of the web and migrate to the port system.

For me it was that Evil Dead episode of Reboot

While I'd obviously like a full release of the remastered stuff, there's some specific things I hope get released over others:
- Multiple season 1 episodes had their bgms changed, for the worse, for the previous dvd releases. the only original versions available that i'm aware of are the ytv tv rips.
- the two ridefilms, with are partial lost media as far as public access is concerned

Have backups of their data transferred to The Cloud after their original home PC "mainframe" becomes corrupted and crashes.
They could also encounter societies of cloned characters, with the clones being called "Torrents"
