Points for trying to do something different, but 30 years later these look rather cute and twee. Definitely part of that late 90s bright-colours-and-glass OMG Internet aesthetic, which was a kind of digital tie dye movement that eventually faded into Aqua on MacOS and the glass themes in Windows.
There was a period in the mid 90s when the Kai Page Curl effect was everywhere.
I spent some time with various versions of Bryce. It was good for entry-level 3D, but in the same way that everything made with KPT looked obviously KPT-ish, everything made with Bryce looked obviously Bryce-ish.
It was all fractal mountains, planets, mysterious floating orbs, alien seascapes, lurid sunsets, and the occasional detailed tree if you had a couple of days of render time to spare.

There was no way out.
