KRAD is a Sega Dreamcast demonstration program developed by Captivation Digital Laboratories and shown at E3 1998 by Sega of America.[1]

History

Captivation built the Sega Dreamcast technical demonstration for the 1998 E3 show in Atlanta. The following images are screen captures of the real-time, full screen, thirty frames per second interactive walkthrough. The demonstration showcases the advanced features we created on the Dreamcast Set 2 hardware: particle rendering, volumetric lighting, water motion, and dynamic 'Level-of-Detail' terrain rendering that make clumsy fogging obsolete.

KRAD demonstrates a number of technologies that the Sega Dreamcast is able to handle, such as particle systems, mip-mapped textures, volumetric lighting, reflections, and transparency, among others. During the "Terrain" section of the demo, the rendering engine achieves one million polygons per second.[1]

The demo was completed in about seven weeks of development, and was reportedly demonstrated "behind closed doors" for its E3 1998 appearance.[2]
