To show off the world of EB64, 3D renders of the characters and environments were made. It’s obvious these are 3D renders because of their high resolution, detailed lighting effects, and the multitude of camera angles.
Many of these renders first appeared in the MOTHER3 Times but were reused for other promotional materials such as press kits and Spaceworld guidebooks.
These renders were most likely produced by the EB64 graphics team at Creatures Inc. in what was likely their 3D graphics software, Softimage 3D. A few years later, during the development of Super Smash Bros. Melee; Creatures Inc. was brought on to create 3D graphics alongside artists from HAL Laboratory. Somehow, the iconic 3D render of Osohe Castle was reused as a reflection texture in several Melee models suggesting that a Creatures artist went back and recycled some of their previous work.
