Just a Shader model 5.0 demo :)
You better have a new graphics card and a fast CPU for this.
Of course it's only 7.7MB, since all it needs to do is define the models and a few textures, the rest is computed.

the demo does not use much CPU. only about 2%.

but it uses 100% of a HD7970 or Gtx 580 class GPU.

but the visuals are amazing.

Looks good indeed, but it sure is demanding on the GPU. I get fps dipping to 20s at 1680x1050.

I especially like the interactivity.
