Kai's Photo Soap and Kai's Power Goo. Or anything by Kai.

Especially the little tools like the texture explorer and fractal generator.

The user interfaces were refreshingly unique.

Check out Adrian Mendoza's photo-based works. He's still using Kai's Power Tools and other filters on a PowerMac.

(Not sure he has a site with that work but it's scattered throughout his Twitter feed[1] along with some neat aerial photography of SF and the bay area.

I got to take the reigns from Kai for my first paying UI job ever (Redesigning Bryce) and was super honored. That man was revolutionary for his time.
