A while ago I made a video about the docking scenes in multiple Elite-games. It is a nice summary how 3D graphics evolved it 30 years:

Following my recent 2D image morphing demos, I've been thinking of visualizing the process as a single 3D shape. Since it starts with pixelated images, a voxel approach seemed the most straightforward.
While I wasn't quite happy with the blocky look, the parallel columns of voxels caught my attention, and they became a key stylistic element; they reminded me of the "fibre optic" mineral ulexite. I imagined carving a sculpture of such a fibrous material. So I replaced the piecewise columns by these long tubes.

From a pile of shit, new life grows. Conway's Game of Life running independently in the 3 colour channels in 64x64 cells with wrap-around topology.
Not much new code here, just added image loading capability to my old pile-up demo of 2D cellular automata.

"World of Spells" es un trepidante juego de acción en primera persona para el clásico ZX Spectrum 48K. Rescata a la princesa, lucha contra fantasmas y dragones, y vive una aventura en 3D que nunca existió en la época dorada del Spectrum.

and for smaller screens, or distant screens, the field of view they can present without (much) distortion gets really narrow: just the part of your own field of view that the screen occupies.

if a developer considers the (real world) environment well, they may be able to make a good guess that would produce a render that looks like a window into that virtual world. but they probably don't even think about it.
Though all of my current and previous computers were without exception too underpowered for any professional work, I have nevertheless always played around with #3DGraphics. It started on the #Commodore64 with #GigaCAD and ended nowadays – of course – with #Blender3D. In between the usual suspects (#PovRay, #3DSMax, #SoftImage, #Maya, #Rhino, etc.).
For the #Amiga I bought the #bookware "#Reflections 2.0" which seems to have been lost. While the @internetarchive has copies of the books of version 1, I couldn't find version 2 anywhere (not even in printed form). The software itself is also nowhere to be found.

Silicon Graphics defined high-performance computing for visual effects and 3D graphics in the 90s. Their workstations powered CGI in Jurassic Park and Terminator 2, and they helped pioneer OpenGL, still a standard in graphics today.

What is the deal with Unreal Engine 1 having shadows on character models in dim light being pitch black while the highlights are very bright?
This is happening with all UE1 engine games, but also many Quake 2 engine games, and other games from the time like System Shock 2 and Anarchy Online. So I don't think it's an artistic choice by the developers but a technical limitation.
Another blow-up view of the Apollonian spheres, now dropping on a concave surface to gather all the jetsam together. This is what I had in mind when writing the first drop demo, and the model just needed a bit of refinement for the differently sized balls: properly scaled masses and elastic factors, as well as proper handling of these quantities in each pair collision.
As a recovering science teacher, it's fun to see such physics in action: a simple, linear elastic force is all it takes to keep each body in its place. Well, at least approximately; I've included a basic drag term to help things settle, but it seems it would take a while, as the tiniest balls are easily thrown around by the larger masses.
