Realtime Terragen?

[Moose]

I stumbled across this demoscene offering:

Quote from http://www.scene.org/file.php?file=%2Fparties%2F2009%2Fbreakpoint09%2Fin4k%2Frgba_tbc_elevated.zip&fileinfo
exactly one year ago i made an executable procedural graphic and video called ixaleno, which i liked. people asked when such imagery would be realtime, and i was answering "today", as i have already seen terragen quality landscapes, completely procedural, in opengl. the point really was how good i could do _in 4 kilobytes_. i experimented and concluded i could so something similar to ixaleno without much problem, and so i stoped playing with it.

Matt should give him a job. Imagine what he could do without the 4k restriction.

Download "elevated" from here - http://www.scene.org/file.php?file=%2Fparties%2F2009%2Fbreakpoint09%2Fin4k%2Frgba_tbc_elevated.zip&fileinfo

Or vimeo for the vid - http://www.vimeo.com/4138285
But somehow having the actual thing running in realtime seems a little more impressive than the video link (it's probably smaller to download too ).

That's definitely very impressive! I've always been fascinated by the demo scene.

This as TG2 3D Preview...

The lighting is very realistic!
But I discovered my pc isn't that good in 1024x768 realtime rendering...

I love these things. I've seen a few over the years and they always seem to astound me with what they can do with such little resource.

A bit like what I had with 512kb sample memory, except we as a garden shed band, in the early nineties, were crap.

Just to point out, dont download those files, they're packed with trojans

Not as far as my Symantec Antivirus realtime Auto-protect is concerned...

As far as mine is concerned there is...

..But..Whatever, I'm just trying to help

[Mohawk20]

Ohw well... I tried scanning them separately, but Symantec doesn't see anything. What scanner did you use? I noticed some scanners see other problems than others.

[neuspadrin]

kaspersky doesn't see anything either.

Mcafee

[neuspadrin]

that would explain a possible false positive lol

It would? What's wrong with Mcafee?

I think the nature of these small executables triggers some anti-virus software.

Well, they often use different PE packers to try to reduce size, and several malware makers do this as well to reduce size and try to obfuscate reverse engineering.

What did Mcafee report? That is has been packed with an executable packer?

I cant remember, and I'd prefer not to try again
