This special issue of Heavy Metal presents the Mulitimedia graphic novel Sinka. The whole thing is done with 3D modelling software, which was a big deal back in 1996. Just in case the reader doesn’t get enough from the story itself, the magazine’s entire gallery section is taken up with a “behind the scenes” look at how and why it was made.

Looking at this material now, it really screams mid-90s. The coloring of the models isn’t especially good and it trips right into the uncanny valley. But the concept is sound.
