3D graphics and sound demo that fits in 177KB of space

It creates all of the textures, models and music in real time - somehow, out of a 177kb .exe.   The download link to the file is in the "more info" box on the right.

It is absolutely rediculous!

I downloaded it, 177kb executable - ran it - and it looked incredible - ran flawlessly at max detail/res on this Q9550 quad @ 3.83 ghz and GTX 280 SSC

How in the hell does that work?!  Where the hell do all of the textures/models come from?  I couldn't believe the detail in the textures.  Hard to believe my PC just creates everything that fast when it loads the program?

what you didnt realize is that most of that film uses lighting to look good, the textures are good but its easy for so a texture for brick, or assfault, or steel, the hard textures are stuff like smoke, water, and plants

though flashy it is nothing new, just fancy lighting and some 3d animation

Well I think it's pretty impressive that all of that is made on the fly, the music is even generated by the PC, not pre-recorded - never seen anything like that in such a small file. 

Here's their 96KB first person shooter game - pretty impressive.
