Hello dear readers of The Silent Page!
It is, once again, time for another installment of You Should Read! Where today I am recommending you The Book of Beginnings.
Yes, another strange project from a bygone era of the internet, its kind of my thing at this point! This one I discovered as a freshman in high-school while researching the 3D rendering engine POV-Ray. An artist on the POV-Ray site created this webpage full of renders and accompanying short stories. The interesting thing? Every short story is unfinished.
Mr. Gilles Tran's works often take the form of incredibly surreal, sometimes comical, starts to stories about everything from cows conquering humanity to robot families. The accompanying 3D renders are similarly nonsensical and fun (and a handful include nude models so be careful how you browse the site!)
I don't want to spoil any of the stories because they're all short and sweet and incomplete but I think its worth your time if you want something curious to explore!
Book of BeginningsHere is the link! Click one of the faces to enter a collection. Each one links somewhere new. Hope you have as much fun browsing as I did!
(P.S. take a look at the 3D renders tab! Mr. Tran has made some incredible works for an artist using primitive software in the 90s and early 00s!)
