Old vidya renders like this
>>10903062Why cant nintendo make a game that looks like this now?
>>10903139Because it's just diffuse textures with ugly normalmaps on them. There's far more appealing visual styles that don't have to rely on the fact that they impressed clueless children 30 years ago.
>>10903171love this one
>>10903139It might be atmospheric, but most people prefer things to look crisp and realistic
>>10903179>impressed clueless children 30 years ago.Are you gay? YOu're saying you wasn't impressed by this 30 years ago?
I don't really like old CGI renders. one of the few things I like about modern gaming is that they went back to 2D artwork like in the NES/SNES days. imagine the art for Cyberpunk or Elden Ring being 3D CGI
>>10903098Dear God... Are there more of these? I'd give my left nut for a Legend of Dragoon remake that looks exactly like this.

>>10903139because when the player can move the camera you go from pic related's left to right.
>>10903139>>10905669>>10903062Here's a direct illustration: Here's a real time demo someone made, where first they tried to line up the camera like the render and then it switches to gameplay camera. The posed frame looks nothing like OP pic - it's low res, low poly, proportions are off, washed out colors, bad lighting etc. An infinite list of how it doesn't replicate the SGI look. But the point is even from the 5/10 left image, look how much aesthetic appeal still drops when it switches to the gameplay camera - losing the framing of mario by the high sides of the apparent 'canyon' by the narrow crop image. Losing the 'looming' effect of the girders. You go from 5/10 to 1/10 intrigue with what's on your screen. So even starting from a 10/10 proper SGI rendering recreation, you give the player control of the framing and it's going to still drop to 5/10 and people will scratch their heads as to why it 'looks like' a pre-render, in all the details they check, but it doesn't feel like a pre-rendered image makes them feel.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pzEUAU6yQIw
>>10905681The irony of your entire post is how many people in the comments think that demo is the coolest thing they've ever seen.
>>10905412Surprising lack of Kong in this thread.
Really liked the original look of the Kritters, they used to be quite menacing before being turned into pudgy retards in DK64.
>>10903089>and the spiral stands for what?>that's right - male fertility!
>>10907617I remember people saying the lightning bolts on Kadabra's lower torso were actually S's that stood for "Satan's Secret Service."
>>10905520>SAVE ME NIGGERMANThis will never not make me laugh
nurbs :)
Why all cg renders of mid 90s feel so similar? Wich software did they use to make them? ¿Could they be recreated with more moder software?
>>10905681that video you posted got me digging and smb render96 is one interesting project that seems to be dead or discord only. (safe) links for downloads anybody?
>>10908581No, it's ancient magic lost to time.
>>10908581this isn't a 90s render, you made this in blender.
OG Fallout is an absolute feast for this type of thing and I'd kill for a 3/NV style game with it's aesthetics

>>10905867This. I remember seeing the one where they made the Bowser fight look like the promo render and it sucked ass because the entire set piece was still set up like it was an N64 game. I genuinely made Mario 64 look like a shitty game.

Comfy thread
>>10914067>>10917543I kinda see attempts at this (Render96), but now with raytracing I’m surprised I don’t see more devs trying to ape the “90’s rendered CGI” look. I’d love to play a remake of Silent Hill that looks exactly like the prerendered cut scenes and this image. It would give it uncanny valley creepiness and look super awesome at the same time.
>>10918952the reason is that those images are not raytraced. raytracing makes a scene look realistic. if you want your 3d to look like a 90s render, that's not the direction you want to go. We keep going over this. Not one single ray was traced for Toy Story, for either of the images you linked or for almost anything posted in the thread except, in the OP image, the pixels that make up metal mario. The rest is not. This is how you used to do it you would check a checkbox for a single material and say 'ray trace this one'.
>>10918976(...because it was a material that you wanted to have mirror-like reflections on, or to refract, like glass. That was what it was for, there was no bounced light in these graphics - the entire reason it's used now. If you want to make 90s pre-render look you have to actually go the other way to prevent your 3d software from bouncing light. Look carefully at renders of donkey kong, ff7, this >>10903074, etc. Any pixel which hasn't got a light deliberately aimed at it is BLACK. Look at diddy and dixie peering into a swamp, uplit by a green glow from the swap. now look carefully and see that there's a green spotlight placed to do that, which doesn't even cast shadows, lighting his body straight behind his hand which would occlude it. That's how far away from 'ray-tracing' this type of render is conceptually. As opposite as you can get)
>>10918952>>10918976>>10918983And on the chance the person doesn't snap back with 'fuck you it is it looks good so it is raytraced ur retarded' for once, If you actually want to know: the way that the 90s images ARE rendered is with mathematical formulas that take for each pixel the angle of the incident lights, the angle of the camera and apply the formula to spit out the pixel brightness/color. These formulas are different people's attempt to approximate what light 'kind of does'. Some guy wrote down that when the light is at this angle, the brightness goes to 20% of max, when twice that angle, 12%, and he put his name on that formula. That was all that there was to work with. So if you look at this >>10914067 and look at the way her thigh goes from white at the top to black at the inner, you're seeing the the distinctive look of the one guy's specific formula that was implemented in that 3D package. It's not realistic at all but it's artistic. You will not be able to re-create this physically incorrect and visually unrealistic distinctive signature by using a physically correct simulation of light
>>10918976>>10918983>>10918992I didn’t ask for your autistic spergpost where you automatically assume I’m going to respond to you negatively before I even respond to you.This is a particularly egregious “well aykshully…” post. My serious response to you is that this look is still more feasible with raytracing than rasterization in real time and that isn’t disputable.
>>10919043>this look is more feasible with raytracing than rasterization in real time and that isn’t disputable.lets say you could make this look with ray tracing - regarding 'more feasible': why? the shading calculations of scanline rendering are computationally trivial, the reason you can't don't see in real-time is it needs micropoly tesselation (more than one poly per pixel - tim epic has tried to bring this back into unreal engine 5), 8x full anti aliasing and stuff like nurbs that is forgotten. Ray-tracing isn't going to help in any way with the fact your real-time spheres all all dodecahedrons. But this doesn't even matter when it ray tracing doesn't approach the actual requirement of the look at all. Address my specific claim here> You will not be able to re-create this physically incorrect and visually unrealistic distinctive signature by using a physically correct simulation of lightdirectly, or fuck off you since you haven't got a clue.
>>10918992fuck you it is you just told how it traces rays so it is raytraced ur retarded
>>10919062>lol he really did reply with "fuck you it is it looks good so it is raytraced ur retarded" yet acted indignant that that was predictedYour "prediction" changed and you didn't notice, lrn2read. When a program is tracing rays and calculating how they interact in a scene, that makes it ray tracing regardless of your opinion on the accuracy of the calculation.
>>10919058Here is the actual promo render for Mario 64
>>10919058Here is the approximation they were able to achieve with raytracing in real time. Not bad I’d say.Since this is one of the few projects trying to do that look in real time with comparison shots of the actual promotional pre-renders, I’d say that’s overwhelming evidence that the 90’s pre rendered look is more feasible using raytracing.Please show me where traditional rasterization is going to give you this. If you can show me a real time game using the traditional methods that can get close to this you can go to sleep tonight with the biggest brain in the world sinking a crater in your pillow.
>>10919091now you are just doing obvious bait. Saying that the formula based shading algorithms 'are' ray tracing negates your original post that we should be able to do this 'now that we have ray tracing'. The formula algos have been used in real time since the start
>>10919094Ray-tracing? In this? Lol - look at the 90s render >>10919093 and look carefully at mario's surfaces. See how on the side of his body you can see the reflection of his arm? On his shoes lowers you can see the floor, one leg you can see the other etc? This is from the rays bouncing, it's called self-reflection, it's the thing you need ray-tracing to do, because cheap approximations of reflection can't handle this. Now look at your ugly piece of shit render. On the bottom of mario's face do you see his body? No. On the legs do you see... anything reflected? No. Does the bottom of his body refect his legs? No. This is dogshit mate. Whoever told you this was raytraced took you for a ride
>>10919094The left column isn't even lit. It's fucking flat shaded. The geometry is accurate (nothing to do with the rendering method) and the rendering is completely fucked. The reason it looks 'close' to you is because of everything except this rendering method. The rendering method is both a) not raytracing b) looks dogshit. You fucking make a fool of yourself
>>10919094i don't even understand this comment. I thought you were saying the hitch was that old render methods are too slow for real-time, now you're saying that it can't achieve a look. >Please show me where traditional rasterization is going to give you thisok >>10919093 ???
>>10919102>the formula based shading algorithmsJust say "recursive ray tracing" if you don't want to look completely out of your depth
>>10919118>>10919125
Light reflects off everything you can see. That's how your eyes see things, they're receiving light reflected off your environment. Are we conversing with Jaden Smith or something?
>>10919094This looks like absolute dogshit.
>>10919663That's nice, dear.

I miss the simplistic geometric shapes and colorful lighting. Left a lot to your imagination and had not reached the level of ugly uncanny valley realism yet. I think simplistic symmetrical geometric shapes are also comforting to my ocd autism.
>>10928785Also I think the fact that they weren't trying to achieve realism yet added to the charm. No realism also left room for creativity and other art styles like more cartoonish or anime. I just hate how modern 3d looks so ugly in comparison like its lost all soul.
