I've never really done any modelling nor CGI animation. Though, I've been watching some Mario Artist videos lately. For context in case anyone doesn't know, the Mario Artist series was like a successor to Mario Paint and came out on the Nintendo 64DD. Four games (or software) came out, one of which is Polygon Studio, which lets you do modelling. Not only was I blown away by how the Nintendo 64 is capable of running a 3D modelling software (the 64DD did not provide extra power but rather extra data to save I believe), but also by how easy the modelling seemed! It almost made want to give that sort of stuff a go someday. There's also other things in the game that made my jaw fall, but they're not exactly 3D modelling so to say.
Here's a video that shows Polygon Studio in action:
Another game in the series is Talent Studio, which not only has a character creator (somewhat similar to the later Miis) but also a CGI animation thing that lets you make movies. Here's one of the samples included:
I feel like most (if not everyone) in this community don't know what's in these games, so I thought this would be a good opportunity to share them! I didn't know much about this series until recently, and man, I didn't think it would be this mind blowing!
