the question of course is how much power required to render real time...

Holy shit, that's pretty awesome.. now we just need that physics engine in Bad Company 3.

Seconded.  I watched that twice yesterday and I rarely spend time on videos while reading.  The charcoal was impressive, but -man!- the rendering of cloth movement was incredible.

I watched an interview of the Pixar guys who did Mr. Incredible. One of the things they mentioned as being hellatious in animated character physics is the movement of hair.  I'll bet this thing could do it --just give it a room full of Crays.

I was in 3d animation in a previous life, when first particle physics engine came out for lightwave. Something like a 500particle limit and the physics were mediocre at best. I used it as a framework, then would manually animate the real bits. Let's just say that really encouraged me to get into plugin writing... God that sucked.
