Lets talk about Japanese 3DCG, Cannon GirlOIDS and the amazing robot girl designs of Higeen ひげ園.

Long before v-tubers, and MikuMikuDance there was: Rokkaku Daioh 六角大王 free modeling software!

In the year 2000. I was living that cyber net life without a care for these hellsites known as social networks.

Downloading and trading anime fansubs from IRC. Exploring the wide world of Japanese file sharing, known as WinMX, and generally ingesting all things neat and anime.

A lot of artists sites are long gone. But through a lot of archive spelunking, and a _lot_ of luck we've been cataloging and revisiting whats left, and this is some _good_ stuff.

So what are we looking at here? Several things!

First off: Rokkaku Daioh

4.

Second: HiGeen's lovely robot girl art. An amazing style that both HiGeen and others used to create 3d models with Rokkaku and other tools.

5.

And last: CANNON GirlOIDS. A collection of Rokkaku 3d models of robot girls hosted at -CypherS TufT- (A site we will revisit in later deep dive)
