IsoHack - Isosurface Raytracing in 4kb

A fast-made GPU raytracer so that I could actually submit _something_ to Nvision/NVScene 2008, and therefore not feel guilty. Coded at work the day before the deadline, it's rendering an animated isosurface in 4kb. The 'sound' is basically dumping random midi garbage.

that's really neat looking! that vibration effect gets really annoying, really fast though :)

The object should have been something that can't be mistaken for the age-old 'plasma' effect. That's really shooting yourself in the foot.

its annoying to focus on details along that vibration. it makes half of the main thing lost :- ( .

amazing

[tsabszy]

what is this crap? annoying sound + annoying vibration..

[assemblyassembly]

but apparently this is possible

Which function is that?

What are you changing dynamically? The isovalue, or you fixed the isovalue and change other parameters of the function (e.g. coefficients)?

Which is the resolution of the screen?

Which is the frame-rate of this animation?

The resulting animation is cool anyway... ;)

Trippy.
