This is a new realtime rendering demo, in 4 kilobytes (render engine, models, textures, animations, postprocessing, sound synthetizer and music track). It's written in assembler mostly and uses Directx for rendering. It was done as a colaboration of my group RGBA with my danish friends of TBC. We won the 4096 byte demo competition of Breakpoint 2009, held in Bingen, Germany.

This time I reused some old formulas for the terrain altitude definition, and implemented some procedural texturing too with pixel shaders. There are some other realtime effects too like motion blur, some reflections and so on. For me, other than the usual shading fun, it was more an experiment on camera design. I tried to find interesting shots, which was not always easy as the camera movements are basically two octaves of cosinus functions.

    Oh, I forgot the most important part, the download link (it´s only 26 kilobytes to download):

    rgba.org/prods/rgba_tbc_elevated.zip

    I recommend to watch the realtime version, as the video codec used for uploading to Vimeo did kill some of the details and grain effects. In the other hand, you will need a good graphics card to run this one, as I had to compromise some speed optimizations for size optimizations... Enjoy it in either case!

    The start is incredible, I don't think it needed the lasers and electro beat though.

    This just reminded me to give you a thumb on pouet! A brilliant demo, and a great reminder of what 4k can do :)
