VeeshanVault

This is an a-fucking-mazing animation.

The file is 177kb and packs some incredible graphics into it. The demo lasts ~5-7 minutes. I kept waiting for it to end but it went on and on with unique stuff. Looks awesome at 1920x1200 (you can select the res you wish to view it in) It gave my Intel duo core a workout so I don't know if it will work well on older systems. Takes memory as well.

It there's more after the "credits"

Just keep in mind...177kb

has music too!

These are the same guys that made "the.popular.demo" back in 2003 and ".the product" in 2000.

Incredible CGI!

I still have "The Product" on my HD!

These fellas rock!

Slick stuff! How the hell can you do all that in only 177kb though?

Pretty neat. Makes me wonder why games continue to take up huge amounts of diskspace when somebody can make a demo like this.

There are a limited limited number of textures generated and they are not exactly high resolution. Also, the scenes have a pretty low poly count.
Given that, the system resources used by their demos is astromical and the framerates are are actually quite low.

If you were to apply this type of architecture design to a current generation game, you would need an outrageous amount of RAM and CPU cycles. Nothing that even a current top of the line system could handle.

Character models in HL2 probably have more polys than an entire scene from this demo.

Using traditional archeticture... premade textures, actors and environments... it would use a fraction of the resources and get exponentially better performance.
