-Fudge
-blasphemy
-Federation against nature
-hellcore
-Pulse
Jings, that's a toughie. I'll have to think about that.
I know of 2 others, Kolor and Yup. And I guess you could count Gravity amongst that line up.
Cubic. :*)
Any links to those demo groups?

Is a link to Cubic..
Another group which come into my mind when thinking about software rendering
is OROR-MEDIA. Actually, they just releases two demos (at least two I am aware of)
but this for example is quiete cool imho :

That is a good prod. :)
It's mostly the older groups that I think of too, particularly on the Amiga. It's hard to say a software only group because most people do even a small amount of hardware accelerated stuff nowadays.
I guess that one exception is ppl who code for GBA and stuff like that.
There are some pretty cool ASCII / ANSI demos at the TMD site, which are done with dos mode.

Here's another 3D Software Rendered demo called "Sleeping Motion" by a team called Crolyx.

And another, http://www.pouet.net/prod.php?which=120
Just downloading that now and hoping it will be somewhere near as good as Heaven 7 was :)
Not sure about that but still interesting.
It's really good in a much different way to Heaven 7, Probably because of the music. The music suits it perfectly. That's a real cute demo.
