Demoscene: Blunderbuss Direct3D Demo With One Million Particles

Blunderbuss is a prod made by the demogroup Fairlight. This is a Direct3D 9 demo focused on particles. The large number (about 1 million) particles are rendered with realism (light + shadows, fluid dynamics). And guess what? All these particles are sorted for proper shading…
Smash, the main coder of Fairlight has published its vision of a modern particle system.


On my current system (AMD X2 3800+ / Radeon HD 5770) the average FPS was around 20…
If you can’t see this demo in realtime, here is a video:

Nice!
On my system (q6600, win7, Radeon HD 4870, all little bit oc)
23-30 FPS
It is not a difficult thing to cope with above effect in Directx 9 engine.
I’ve achieved similar effect of realtime fluid animation in common engine like Esperient Creator,DarkBasicPro,Quest3d etc.It will be much better in visualization if combo with tech of physics engine such as physX engine.
My realtime fluid animation demo can be reachable at
