I was in Warsaw ZOO today and I found something that truly amazed me as graphics programmer.

Sharky

Apart from realistic fluid simulation, do you see those wonderful god rays? And marvelous caustics everywhere? Let alone color balance, postprocessing is also first class. And seeing manta rays flying like they were in the air, not water... It makes me want to write suitable 3D demo :)
