Ah, crap, I won’t be able to afford another PC upgrade for at least another 5-years.

Hehehe, just found this now, did you? ;-)

I think my favorite new thing is the parallax / holographic / offset / view-dependent displacement / virtual displacement / whatever the heck you wanna call it mapping. Didn't seem to notice any self-shadowing on the texture level (horizon mapping), but I'm sure that'll be in there sooner or later. Real-time soft shadowing on the geometry level isn't bad, though... Leaves me wondering what sort of implementation they chose to pull it off.

The description of the file on the site is a bit inaccurate / misguided, though...
