Help needed – where to find vintage cgi footage specifically of radars, radio towers, mobile networks etc – looking for cassette futurism / infographic type vibes (y2k influence also welcome)
Title says it all really – any suggestions would be appreciated! I've been browsing around for this technology/telecommunications themed stuff for days and have come up with surprisingly little, but I know there's a ton out there. I'm sure I remember seeing retro cgi animations showing how networks and radio signals work in various places but it's hard to place the memory. My closest finds have been a few old NASA videos but it's not quite scratching the itch!

Jurassic Park 1993 CGI (Thanks Spaz)
I made Spaz Williams (CG Pioneer at ILM in the 90s) come to reddit the other day, heheh. Without him Jurassic Park as we know it wouldn't have been possible.

2000s VFX/ Flame Competitor?
In the early 2000s there was a "Flame killer" VFX compositing app that ran on PCs. It had a nearly identical UI as Flame but the background was darker and the buttons were a bit more rounded and extruded.
I can't remember the name anymore. Anyone got a hint?
Not sure if it had anything like "5D" in the name, probably not. And I also can't remember what company created it. But it was definitely not Shake. And I also believe it only existed for a few years before it got discontinued.

How was the effect at 12:30 in "The Gate To The Mind's Eye (1994)" made and what software was used to make it? I'd love to know if anyone has a general breakdown of how to make a wormhole like this in vintage cgi software #vintagecgi
