Wow.  I actually found something that makes the fan on my Core2 Duo speed up.  :-o

Bloody cool.

cv643d:  I hate these ~150 KB demos that in reality is much larger.

Demos aren't about being practical -- they're about being cool, and this is DEFINATELY cool.

Faster load times would be nice, but most demos don't come close to this kind of detail and weigh in at 5-10MB.

Now, a hybridization of procedural synthesis (for normal maps and detail textures) and regular artwork (for main textures) is what would allow mainstream software to pack a huge wallop on detail without requiring a 5GB installation.  Hopefully, other developers will pick up on this.

Of course, that never seems to happen.  :angry:

Nothing more lamer than that.

Well, until Amiga gets a decent 3D API with drivers, Windows will continue to be the more bestest platform of choice.
