If the program exit and complains about missing MSV*.dll, run included vcredist_x86.exe.

Press F1 for help in the demo.

Keep in mind that it is a demo and so there are still bugs...

Here is a list of bugs/artifacts that i know yet:

* minor water plane depth fighting glitches
* sun reflection need to be more realistic
* small freezes when camera page changes due to page loading: need to implement multithread async streaming yet
* minor shadowmap deph fighting

This demo is for personal use only.
MOgre and OGRE main sites can use it for free for showcase.
