the primary giveaway that this is modern is the texture filtering on the checkerboard plane. OG renderers handled high-frequency detail really poorly, showing whatever color the sampler happened to hit. Modern renderers blend them to an average, grey in this case.
Oh I figured it was modern… your title says as much. But it would absolutely look at home on the cover of half a dozen books homie still keeps on his shelf 🤓
In fact I’m going to pass a link along because he was just asking me about learning blender.

Bryce3d, that's the name I was trying to remember! Yeah, that was so fun! Spending hours just fiddling around without a clear goal, just trying stuff.
