Check this.

Unbelievable, as one person said, it's 'code poetry'.

[Fineus]

That is what game producers should be doing, none of this 1.2 gig install stuff, get computers to render the textures themselves - this is incredible!

WOW!

That is trippy...

[Nico]

damn, that's an impressive 3D engine and 3D generator. The demomakers have always been the pinacle of coding skills. mmh... It's reminds me of Into the shadows... That game was announced 4 years before tomb raider, and actually looked better. Too bad it was concelled. It was being made by demomakers, of course.
Oh, and I'm so glad the party still exists after all those years

That thing is on the same level as the Mad Onion demos, except better, 'cause they made the engine themselves...

I'm downloading DirectX 8, I haven't needed it so I guess I should do it now.

Schoveet.

Actually, to give a rebuttal to all you people who are praising the 3D engine in te Product, it isn't all that great - at least, it isn't as long as you ignore the filesize.  

The amazing thing about it is definetly the texture generation - very sweet, and very efficient.

Yeah man, it's not that this is superultrabetter than anything, but it's a 64k demo!  That's the best thing about it.

Not very good.

"We need that dark, grim-looking cathedral thing DOWN, pilots!"

"AAAGH! These little squares of light are all over me!"

...you get the idea.

[Carl]

wow! what a cool idea coded textures! why hasn't anyone thought of this yet?!

to tell the truth, i had. but i never thought it would actually work. Kudos to them!!

that would not make modding easy, isn't it?

Compression ratio................

[wEvil]

I cant watch it on this machine but i assume they are using procedural textures, which have been around for almost 25 years now.

It has been done before (on the demo scene) -the unreal engine uses procedurals to a degree but most people find them too computationally expensive to make a game out of.
