seen it ages ago.

| Cyber: It's a Direct3D real-time demo, a multimedia presentation, fully 3D with high fidelity stereo digital soundtrack, great artwork, running over 8 minutes long (if not more)... watch it. |

Also try Heaven7. Real-time raytracing at 800x600 
Kinda impressive, aren't they? |

Yeah, I saw that awhile ago to. They got it so small by making the textures procedurally when it starts up (hence the long load time). Their artists have a program that just takes all their art and dumps it into an ascii file that mathematically describes the texture. Then its compressed tightly. On startup it decompresses the textures and loads them into texture memory according to the instructions. Pretty simple really. It's not new though. the Unreal engine does it, only on a different level. All those perty lava and water textures in Unreal are basically done the same way.
That demo has great music though. I dig 4k demos that do realtime raytracing at like 15fps tho.. how they manage that is beyond me. |

Its all code. Textures, geometry, camera motion, lights, everything, all code.
