how can i recreate 90s style 3d renders in modern blender? i know i could just learn bryce3d but i don't want to. ive heard eevee has phong shading but i can't find it.
>>976502I was a sperm not giving a fuck about existence before I barreled into the egg like a fucking asshole and have suffered ever since
>>976502>what is 3dmax scanline render?
>>976502>i know i could just learn bryce3dI'm sorry for the meme answer but unironically just learn bryce3d, it's the easiest software I've ever learned and it was made for literal children to fuck around in, you should be able to start creating shit you want in one evening
>>976537>>976502Blender and bryce3d won’t ever get the results you wanted. Both software lack the rendering capabilities necessary to produce the bad rendering results.
>>976540>rendering capabilities necessary >to produce the bad rendering results
>>976540bryce3d is unironically deep as fuck. you got filtered
Since their rendering engine has hardly changed since the 90s just use basically any version of 3DS MAX, preferably an older one. It's basically SOVL right out of the box.
>>976502>this fucking thread againWhy don't we get the "software purist" in here while we're at it?
>>976502Code up your own engine in OpenGL at this point. There's tutorials online
>>976619This was the second one I ever used, after Sculpt Animate on Amiga.
>>976502Lmao can't belive this software (Seamless 3D) still being updated noawadays. You should check it.https://www.seamless3d.com/
>>976876Realtime OpenGL graphics won't give you that 90s prerendered look.
>>976502Quick googling says the image has been created with povray.Just use that, it still works on modern computers.You can also use it to render scenes you've made in blender.https://wiki.povray.org/content/HowTo:Use_POV-Ray_with_BlenderThat will give you exactly the same look (given you learn to use povray)
>>977861the autist is still on it for almost 2 decades now. he's like cris but actually based AND have a working product that he could be proud of.
>>977908Not OP but povray is my next focus. Got filtered by the blender add on version so just going to try it stand alone for now.
>>976502A lot of that classic 90's style is the lack of modern tone mapping. Modern Blender uses some kind of filmic tonemapper (filmic blender, ApX, ACES all do this) which desaturates highlights. Classic graphics don't do this which leads to that unique "fake" look.You should be able to achieve this look pretty much entirely in the Compositor, using "convert color space" nodes.
>>978840this.old cg doesnt gives a fuck about correct gamma calculation. also its the reason why constant ambient light is needed to "correct" the midtones.
>>978843It's even easier than messing around in Compositor. Literally just setting the View Transform in the Color Management to "Raw" will do it. You don't even need to re-render, either, since tonemappers themselves use Raw data when they adjust colors.It really is amazing how effective tonemapping is at selling compelling lighting. I've only been dabbling in 3D for the past week or so but I've been doing color-managed digital art for a while, now, and it's just as effective there as it is here, while allowing for comparatively simple Multiplicative shading setups, now unlike that of a deferred lighting engine.
