@thedaemon here's the original page where that was scraped from, btw :) https://macintoshgarden.org/apps/cinema4d-xl-7

@thedaemon it's hard to tell at that resolution

i wish i could find any other source about this, but it was this hard enough to find out definitively that at least the OS X icons were actually 3D rendered and not vector gradients like everybody tries to imitate them with

anyway this is why i'll never use linux on the desktop seriously

lol of course the area31 hackerspace dipshit is endorsing it https://github.com/X11Libre/xserver/issues/40

@thedaemon is that the name of the program?

oh, well, duh! there's my problem

this is actually a huge breakthrough for me. everyone i ever asked told me there was no way they would 3d render these, that they were all just vector drawings. i feel like i just found out the punchline to a joke everybody kept from me all these years

aha! looks like they WERE in fact 3D rendered! even to the point of using a human figure as an origin point for the camera to make it look like you were actually looking at a desk top
