Here is our latest 1kb intro, released at Function 2009

It was a great experience for me since it's first time I develop an intro using a tool like RenderMonkey, which make the development process a bit less painfully , and ofcourse learn a bit more about shading coding.

Requires: Pixel Shader 3.0 capable graphics card and d3dx9_32.dll installed.

Enjoy

Tried it on my Notebook (Windows7 RC1, latest dx, latest driver, nVidia GeForce 8400M GS, should be DX10 SM4.0) and I get a black screen and a little hiss for sound.  Seems to be running though, Escape gets me back to the desktop.

Will try it at home on my proper desktop.

@Jim, not sure what could be wrong as it works on old graphics card like geforce 6600GT. And the noise sound is intentionally, I call it by sound effect

You are right, it doesn't look too spectacular on a Geforce with Pixel Shader 2.0. (See attached screenshot )  I think it's about time to ask the piggy bank for some money to upgrade my gfx card. I would love to see it in real action.

Should have placed higher than 6th

Nice one Rbz, in fact the fire looks similar to the one you did on that formula evaluation website

Runs perfectly on my desktop - very cool fire!

I will try upgrading from rc1 to release on my Notebook and see what happens.

++ 6th and all the best with using Render Monkey

As for the incompatibility, are you using a bitwise operator for the checkerboard pattern? Because things like &, |, and ^ are only supported by SM4.

Upgraded from rc1 to rtm - still no graphics on my notebook.  Weird!
