Certainly the title screens (texture mapped fonts) are pre-generated,
but I would doubt the rest of it was.  If they were going to make it
canned animation they could have made it look much nicer than they did. 
The effects presented are only impressive if they were generated in real
time, and they looked just `dirty' enough to convince me that they were.
None of the segments seemed out of reach given some nice assembly
programming; in fact, most of them used obvious gimicks to get the `ooh
wow' response.  I'm not trying to downplay the demo, as it was quite
impressive, I'm just trying to point out that it was just that,
impressive, not unimaginable.

I haven't looked very closely, but the texture mapped face was the most
impressive of the lot; it seemed to be truly general texture mapping.
