Excellent demo.
Unfortunately DX9 mode doesn’t work under Vista64 (XP32 is OK)
D3D9Texture::create(): can’t create RGBA16F cube texture
They could have used their crabs for “crowd scene rendering”

Too bad, my 8600 GTS doesn’t seem to like it… Even in 640*480 windowed mode, I am not above 20-30 FPS !
After checking misc. DX9 apps, it appeared that “shader model 3″ had vanished on my rig, thus requiring a repair install of Vista64.
Sorry for confusion.
