Hi all

I'm sorry if this post is in incorrect forum section.
I'm looking for very old, probably one of the first ones, tech Nvidia demos. I was running that demo on my Riva TNT. I'm pretty sure demo was called " Principles of shading" or "Principles of 3d" or very similar and it was way before Geforce.
Please note that this: https://international.download.nvidia.com/dow … esOfShading.exe

is NOT that tech demo as it's designed to GF3 and at the time I was running that demo I'm looking on my RIVA TNT but it's very similar to one I'm looking for ( same Nvidia logo, similar scenery). I remember that in demo was a music and nvidia logo with possibly silver/gold colors.
I've search on internet but unable to find it. ( wayback machine etc)
Any one, any ideas where it can be found?
I think I had this demo on CD long time ago. The era of detonator drivers.

thanks
greg

thanks @dominusprog but these are geforce era demos, I'm looking for even older ones. That first link ISo contains "principles of shading" but it's the same as on nvidia current demos site. I'm looking for riva era demos.
Thanks anyway for trying.

Nice. Never even knew this particular demo existed and I thought I had a handle on all of them.

Looks like that tech demo I've been looking had been coded by.. .Futuremark in 1998! I had no idea they existed in 1998.

FutureMark was founded in 1998 as a sister company of Remedy and they've done earlier work with Final Reality. 3DMark99 was an Oct 1998 release.

You'll probably also want to look into MatureFurk. 😀
