This demo pack is essentially an upgraded version of the Blackbox
Demos, with the cg shaders to simulate various materials
such as plastic, rubber, chrome metal, brush metal, dull metal,
transparent glass, varnished wood, "Aqua"-style gum-drop, and even
shiny turd.

System requirements
This demo pack has only been tested on an NVidia GF3 Ti200. Only
systems with GF3 and above will be able to see the material effects;
systems with lesser 3D cards such as GF1/2 can still run the demos
but the material effects will be off.
According to the cg forums, the latest hardware from ATI (9700
etc.) should "just work". I'd be glad to hear about the performance
there.
