In fact, one of the earlier demos (written by Mark Rearick, author
of 3DO Game Guru) was a Euro-style “plasma” field, which was mapped on to
a 3D object. The plasma texture was dynamically computed by the CPU each
frame. A bit of a drain on the CPU, but a neat trick when you need it.
He also wrote a ScreamTracker 3 MOD file player to run on M2, which
is used in some of the more recent demos. It sounds incredible.

Leo L. Schwab —
All public Opera demos were run on actual hardware. The original Opera
machines were 13 boards of silicon, which were later compressed into
3 chips, but the “giant graphics engine” was the actual Opera hardware.
Some of the very early very speculative PRIVATE Opera demos were
mockups, but these were never represented as running on real hardware.
They were in fact video tapes of our guesses as to what the hardware
would eventually do.
The approach to the M2 demos was another story altogether…
