Diamond Viper V770 Ultra Review
Technology Demos
As mentioned on the previous page, the Viper V770 driver installation CD includes a series of demos that illustrate the features of both the TNT and TNT2. These interactive demos from NVIDIA allow the user to move about in these "virtual" scenes using a mouse. These technology demos are definitely material to use to dazzle your friends and neighbors.
Logo Demo (Image 1): This is primarily designed to teach how a 3D scene is constructed. Several effects are included in the various scenes including multiple light sources, transparency, smoke effects and single pass multitexture.
Hand Sculpture Demo (Image 2): This demo uses several textures in a single scene. Also, a dynamic mesh is used to represent the growing "hand" protruding up from the monument.
Duck Pond Demo (Image 3): This demo uses multitexturing effects for water reflections, and dynamic texture maps to provide the effects of the wake behind the duck and water ripples from the bubbles popping in the pond.
Zoom Demos (Images 4 - 7):
These demos are designed to stress (and highlight) most of the features of TNT. They use many large textures - too many to fit in local video memory. The textures are being pulled over the AGP bus every frame. They also use multitexture to do all of the lighting via light maps. Also, images 5-6 and 7 are the results of zooming into a particlar area (the lions nose - yes, there is a bee there, and the bicycles flywheel).
