Since we started development on our sci-fi IP Syntactic Labyrinths we've been rendering planets in Chaos Corona.

In the world of Syntactic Labyrinths humanity is faced with the imminent destruction of our planet. To preserve our collective knowledge all of our data is scanned into The Library—a unmanned vessel sent into space with destination Andromeda Galaxy.

To manage these borderline infinite datasets mankind relies on IBM zSystems. Especially the z16 can be found all around the scanning facilities of the Settlement of Babylonia.

I would like to give a huge thanks to the lovely folks at IBM for providing us with a high-fidelity 3D-model of the z16 for use in our film!
