Comments
-----------
This is quite a personal production and probably not everybody's coup of tea. 
We have been struggling with it for almost a year, when Pixtur started to 
experiment with Mandelbox formula used in Mad's 4kb intro "Hochenergiephysik".
The idea, back then, was basically to make a distance field function fractal-
demo without the 4k size restrictions. Basically focusing on the design and 
parameters and to see what comes out of this. We almost dropped the idea 
because the performance was just not good enough. Luckily we later discovered 
Boxplorer by Rrrola and got some additional support from Seven. Eventually 
Pixtur fell in love with Wright & Bastard's tribute to Richie Spice, and the
work on this started again. We missed Breakpoint and Evoke and finally released
it at a small fine Party in Berlin.

So yes: Besides the background-sphere, there are no polygones in this demo. And
yes, the shaders would have easily fit in to 64kb. But who cares? Been there 
done that.

Requirements
------------
- nvidia/ati gfx card that supports directx 10.1
- installed .net 4 framework
- latest driver you can get for your gfx card
- win7


Pit falls
---------
Getting the .net/slimdx framework running can be tricky. If you have problems 
running the demo, please try to install:

We still have some trouble with certain 32bit systems (see 
https://gist.github.com/3799208#comments) If you encounter any problems, please
drop us a mail with the log-file and a short description of your system (esp.
Windows version and Graphics cards): info@still-scene.org
