[ Retro GIF of the Week ] Happy New Year 1993
December 31st, 2012 by Benj EdwardsIn honor of the impending New Year, I bring you this ray traced image that dates back to December 1992 — 20 years ago — and celebrates New Year 1993.
As per its inscription, this image was created using StrataVision 3D and retouched with PhotoMac by its author, CT. I have not determined who CT is yet, but I will do some more poking around soon and update this entry if I find out. (If you find out first, please let me know.)
Happy New Year!

I wonder how long it took to render this image back then. The polygon count is quite low, but who knows what kind of mac was used to create it?
