A Few Good G-Men is a scene from Rob Reiner's A Few Good Men, re-enacted and rendered in real-time with Valve's Source engine, the one used for Half Life 2. Real-time rendering - not pre-rendering. True, you need a pretty mean machine to get this sort of quality in real-time, but it's far from what was once used to create similar-quality scenes. The day is not far when 3D animated films can be viewed in real-time rendering, allowing the viewer to pick his own view points, to decide what to look at and when - and all without losing quality. I find this amazing, even if it will hardly ever be put to use (cause what director would give up the right to dictate how we watch his movie - and rightly so!).
