Well, depends; a demo /image/, yes - but for a demo /scene/, it's not
really as simple as it looks.
The die is actually an isosurface I had modelled earlier for a different
scene; DON'T TRY THIS AT HOME WITH SSLT! Kudos to Kevin Loney, Jaap
Frank & Tor Olav Kristensen for their isosurface approximator include
