Where are demoscene prods? Demoscene is probably a better mirror of the evolution of real time 3D on PC… Fortunately, the author included ShaderToyMark 😉

    Where is my real time ray tracing? Still waiting!
    Also my flying car would be sweet as well, Thanks.. 😉

    Disagree with demo scene statement. Demo scene was technological showcase at the beginning of it until the late 90 / early 00s. As coders made things that seem to have been impossible before. There were no GPUs so you had to write your own software rasterizer. But then when GPUs became mainstream it was more about art & style then about being a technical showcase. (Except for 4k & 64k intros but they more about packing and procedual content creation) I miss those early days.
