Yining Karl LiNo joke Bionicle 3D renders is one of the things that got me into computer graphics. To this day my personal hobby renderer project is named after a Bionicle character.

PixelClear@yiningkarlli your hobby project Takua renderer and your website was the reason I got interested in path tracing :) . I still cant forget the beautiful renders on that website. I still remember I showed it to my friend and we both said its surely not possible to the point we thought its fake :)
@pixelclear Thanks; that's so great to hear! I'm glad the website helped inspire someone. :)
BTW I'm a big fan of all of the cool BVH/LOD stuff you did at AMD!
@yiningkarlli I am really happy and humbled that you noticed my work :). Thanks alot for your kind words, means a lot coming from you!
