Pointillist Style Rendering

It seems that a new Rendering Technique has been discovered involving Pointillist Style as the Newscientist describes in their article: 

AS THE artist Georges Seurat knew, a beautiful image can be created from a series of dots. Now an Australian firm hopes to use this trick to revolutionise computer graphics and make it possible to create stunning virtual worlds on relatively modest machines.

Instead of polygons, Unlimited Detail's system uses dots - billions of them - to create a "point cloud" representation of a virtual world. By selecting one point for every pixel on the display screen, it's possible to create an exquisitely detailed 3D snapshot in much the same way as a Seurat pointillist painting. Change the selection several times per second and you can move smoothly through the virtual world.

As always, the DemoScene was the first one to bring this new rendering technique to life, go ahead and take a look at this new demo called "Agenda Circling Forth"
