For 1995, this segment holds up well. PDI did a good job.

It's so funny how my mind remembers old CG. I remembered Toy Story 1 looking as good as Toy Story 3 and 4 do now, and I used to think this Simpsons ep looked as good as Pixar movies.

The dated CGI fits the cyberpunk environment of this segment

>>149332844 (OP)
its still a fun segment, the uncannyness adds to it.

also

"Did anyone see the movie Tron?"

>>149332844 (OP)
I heard they did this for free

>>149332844 (OP)
the green grid and the early 3D objects is a pretty peak aesthetic it's timelss retro futuristic

Look at the human characters in Toy Story, this Simpsons ep holds its own against that easily.

What sucks is that THIS kind of TV episode can never exist anymore. CGI has gotten so good that either it looks high quality by default, or the shitty CGI just looks stiff and awkward, but THIS LOOK has just aged like fine wine. Helps that this kind of graphics showcase was used for gag scenes like this, KND, and that one Courage episode, it aging has only added comedic value. Its one of the reasons why I say Code Lyoko still holds up with its shitty CGI, it sells it as this ancient archaic program that these kids found themselves in

I like late 90s/ early 00s CG

Attaching a more relevant pic for reference.

Simpsons game looks better

It's cool how each version has a different cover

Is the wii tentacle porn real? Does Nintendo what others don't?

>>149335308
Oh hell, I didn't know this.

>>149335308
There's only one repeat(mini krusties) and one semi repeat(ps3 nelson off frame so it could be anyoooone) outside of homer and baty

DS artwork continues from the Wii artwork (look at willie's rake)
PS3 artwork continues from PSP artwork (nelson's arm and lou's hat)

>mini krusties
That one there is Handsome Pete. He dances for nickels.

This episode freaked me out as a little kid. I didn't understand how TV worked and thought there was a part of the story missing where he gets back to springfield.

>>149333866
No.

>>149333866
no

>>149333866
Yes

I mean no

Yeah, the segment isn't actively trying to look realistic, it's trying to look deliberately 3D animated, and in that regard it's aged very well.

In the end it was probably a smarter decision than Pixar constantly chasing "realism" in their 3D animation, the end result is that their early movies look painfully dated.

Fucking weird, i remember that scene where Homer goes to the real world being an entire episode but i checked it and it only lasted a couple seconds

"Mmm... erotic cakes..."

>>149334897
That was my favorite Simpsons game level, even I got stuck on it for a couple days

Bart's hair is so weird..
