 Not sure if real. :\
There's a lot of folk contending this is bogus - although most seem to be referencing the same two people, or simply going by the claim of "infinite" detail and say:
I suppose what they have there could be a real time render, and not a procedural render, if the mass duplication of artwork is due to virtual mirroring, rather than yet more atoms to render - that'd be fairly easy for a modern GPU to handle, but of course, it would severely limit what you could do with the software.
The closest thing I've seen and worked with to this is the Atomontage Voxel Engine (though not that version of it), which, while interesting, is no where near this cloud renderer's claims. There are other Voxel engines, but the other ones I've seen, unlike Atomontage, aren't "true" Voxel engines.
Still, can't really prove it's fake, just thinkin', most likely.

Wow, you're all still here! I'll give it to ya - you're all a resilient bunch. Anyone up for a Minecraft server? All this number crunching power (soon to be doubled in a few weeks) and nothing it use it on. Open to any low maintenance suggestions. Going forward, I think I might have a bit more time to dedicate to extracurricular activities (switched jobs after almost 7 years about a month ago - AMA about jobs in the 'biz if anyone's interested).
Hope you're all doing well

I've been a JR admin for over 9 years, and I ain't quitting this job!
At least I'm doing well =].

Texas isn't bad! (Except Houston reminds me of Orange County)
...I'll actually be flying out to Dallas on Sunday evening and should be back by Tuesday. What part of Texas Doc?
