Anyone remember a thing years back, a program that was around 64KB large and would take you around a game-like 3D environment (I believe it used Direct3D)? I'm looking for the link to it, as I don't remember the exact name of the project. If you know how it works then post that too, thanks :)

Talking about the Easter-egg in Excel 97?

No, it was a 64KB sized application someone made that was at least 10 minutes long with decent 3D graphics. I'm sure Excel's was probably 64MB :)

I think it came out in 2000 or 2001.

Ah, I remember that but also don't recall how it's called.

You can do wonderful graphics with just math and no huge data files. I don't remember but it was probably some fractal-based animation with a few kilobytes of rendering code and a few kilobytes of initial data.

Takes a looong time to load on my work computer.  But looks pretty sweet for 64k :)

I think I remember what you might be talking about. I remember someone or some group was demonstrating their new compression technology by compressing some ginormous 3D environment or something to an unbelievably small size.

Not the one I was thinking of but still nice =)
Still don't see how they can have all the 3d objects, pictures, music be 64K total.

Wow@Zaphire Productions - they were friends of a friend a couple years ago.  I went to their site and recognized other names of people I know at school NOW there besides them.  I went in a big loop and ended up back in Winnipeg :D

Those are really neat. ;D They would make great screensavers.
