The Fly by Nesnausk! [web]
"THE FLY", a realtime demo from team Nesnausk!
ImagineCup 2004
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
ABOUT
"The Fly" is a non-interactive demo program that displays real-time 3D
graphics and plays music. The demo consists of mostly organic scenes,
some animations and graphics effects.
TheFly.exe launches the demo.
Graphics effects are: bump (normal) mapping, depth-of-field,
anisotropic fur rendering, multi-layered terrain, projected shadows
and iridescent/translucent wings. Fallback paths exist for pre-DX9
hardware, with some or most of the effects turned off.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
REQUIREMENTS
* DirectX 9.0b runtime installed
* Something like a 1.5GHz CPU
* Video card with 64MB RAM and:
- has pixel shaders 2.0 - all ok
- has pixel shaders 1.1 - some effects turned off
- has no pixel shaders - most effects turned off
A fast video card (eg. Radeon 9600XT) is recommended, for slower
ones use 800x600, 640x480 or some other low resolution.
* Somewhat recent video card drivers.
Tested and seems to work on:
- Radeon 9800Pro, 9600Pro, 9600, 9200, 9000Pro.
- GeForce FX5900XT, FX5200, 4Ti4200, 4MX440, 2MX400.
Some say it even works on Intel Extreme Graphics, but we wouldn't
count on that :)
