Sit around the campfire kiddies, I have a story to tell about the olden days of 3D
Here is the “I walked through six feet of snow three miles to get to school” equivalent of 3D modeling. There is no way anyone would believe me if I told the story or working with Videoscape and Modeler from Allen Hastings (published by Aegis, later became Lightwave).
Actually, you can see I made this illustration before Modeler was released! Good old graph paper and clockwise poly patching here! It wasn’t until Modeler came out in 1990 when I ditched the graph paper and started working on my first real cartoon.

I remember those days. I was using sculpt 3D back then. Hey look I can render silver balls and it only took half the day!
That was for one frame BTW.
