Notable vector parts?
Some of the finest 3D vectors seen on the C64, atleast of the top of my head are:
The Last Traktor 3/Hz - amazing flatshaded stuff, EOR-filling taken almost to perfection (I can't recall seeing it much improved upon in demos since).
One-Der/Oxyron - The gouraud shading just kicks, sure some of the more complex objects may run a bit slow, but just the fact that it handles objects other than your standard convex ones is fantastic. Also, the first tetrahedron runs at a pretty respectable framerate.
Natural Wonders/Oxyron - Dither vectors, smooth and nice looking, simply taking things to another level.
Anyone have any other notable examples of great 3D stuff taken to almost perfection in a C64 demo to share? Or perhaps the first instance when something was seen?

AEG's 4x4-texturer in "Outbreak" may be fast, but it's small, low on polygons, and the texture is jumping around like madness :/. Well, it's just me showing my bad side again ;). |

"yes it bugs, but hey, it's fast" =) thats what he told me about his sphere mapper anyway :) |

Sure hope none of these old tmappers are anywhere near my 7 cycles/pixel WIP. I also have an even faster goraud-shader on the way.
Just so you know.

@Cruzer, yes! Should we wait for the X? :) |

Nice! I was going to post something about texturemapping/gouraud seemingly being "out of style" at the moment since we don't see it as often nowadays, but perhaps we will see a grand comeback soon then? :) |

Seems like two of the most important vector parts haven't been mentioned yet.
First realtime filled vector in a C64 demo: My, Oh My/Light
First EOR-filled vector on C64: Elysion/Origo

i still wonder how you "fill a vector" =D |

First vectors by an Australian group:
TAF - Demo Entry - The Force Comp 89
Improved vectors by the same coder:
Finesse Plus
Just an excuse to publicise my old groups work.

what is a wip? 7cycles/pixel sounds pretty impossible. lda # sta ,x ? -> small texture, everything precalced? or lda $00 sta $xxxx -> what?! :) |
