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?

Altered States? There have been probably been bigger or faster vectors, but that one deserves a mention for looking SO good. |

i always liked the stuff from wyndex, free camera movement at pretty decent framerate...thats rarely seen in other demos. |

Hehehe.. I guess that depends a on how you define "decent framerate", hehe.. |

Vector Victory (Vector-Victory) springs to mind as one of the first (at least early) and really good vector releases on the scene and also the game Elite springs to mind but it soen't qualify as a demo... |

I remember From Beyond / Asphyxia had some damn nice vectors. |

"Panta Rhei", face-cutting on vector objects with sub pixel accuracy. Yummie :). |

I liked that blue vector in the third part of Tower Power and of course the 72 faces glenz stuff too.
The Reflex demo before Mathematika also contained a vector part with very big vectors.

Thanks for all the great suggestions! I had actually never seen "Vector Victory" before, a very nice example of early line vectors, running rather fast. I know The Larch 3/Bones had a pretty advanced linevector part back in 1989 already, but it didn't run near as smooth as the Vector Victory one. |

For line vectors, also check "the Masque" by Oxyron. Calculations in the disk drive, and quite optimized line shit (in teh computer). |
