Braids
You'd think it would be impossible to create something this awe-inspiring using just 1k of data. This fantastic kaleidoscope-inspired sequence, built using OpenGL by Luminesce, garnered third prize in the 1k category.
Traceless
This fabulous animation takes you on an epic journey through surreal, sci-fi-esque landscapes. Created for the Windows/DX9 platform by TBC, it deservedly won second place in the 1k category.
