Reality Engine, now in Direct X

Cor, I remember watching this when it was on telly - the spinning bust was very impressive, especially compared to the Amiga demos of the time (of course the hardware was a lot more expensive).

@Treisprazece True. I would love to find a version of Alias/Wavefront Power Animator, just to play around with it and see what doing CGI was like back then, compared to now. Wolfenstien 3D is actually not 3D. They used 2D tricks, like in DooM, to fake the 3D stuff, or "Virtual Reality" . Like scaling textures, or for instance, you couldnt have a room on top of a room and the enemies were just 8 directional 2D sprites.

I knew SGI are some of the best vfx workstations but realtime reflections, true 3D and all that distortion in realtime in the 90', omg at that time i was shocked by the wolfenstein 3D, what this workstation was doing then was not even imaginable for many of us. Kudos SGI !!!

The TV program was called Bad Influence

How is called this tv program?

A few of the SGI machines use an architecture most machines today can be jealous of. Supercomputer like crossbar switch and such. Forgot which machines exactly, long time since I´ve used one.
