What Hacker News says
6 sourcesNeat! This seems to be a way to mention the newly-released "Gigi" project [1] that is being used to generate the images in the post.
Gigi is described as being a (Windows-only, as far as I can understand from a very quick look) "framework for rapid prototyping and development of real-time rendering techniques".
Silly disclosure: I once worked for an EA-owned studio, but that was ages ago and I have no relation to this project at all, just thought that Gigi seemed cool.
