Very nice indeed..

Did you happen to see that last Resident Evil movie.. the CGI one? That was pretty impressive too. I don't care much for those movies, but the graphics were phenomenal I think.

OTOY engine... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k4aE6HK7JEo (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k4aE6HK7JEo)
I have not yet figured out how this works...looks like its a server-side rendering which means that the server do the rendering where the server is placed somewhere in the world and you are connected trough it and see the rendering real-time trough your web browser.

Some thinks that this is a scam http://www.techcrunch.com/2008/08/20/the-truth-behind-liveplaces-photo-realistic-3d-world-and-otoys-rendering-engine/ (http://www.techcrunch.com/2008/08/20/the-truth-behind-liveplaces-photo-realistic-3d-world-and-otoys-rendering-engine/)...but what about the Cinema 2.0 technology that AMD presents then? ???
