Photographer Andreas Levers captured a series of photos of Potsdam by night. In this demo, those scenes were recreated in 3D using our custom demoscene engine. We focused on light and shadows to convey the special atmosphere of the city when deserted. Lights and 3D models are procedurally generated. The music was composed by our friend Velo from Approximate.

At Night was presented at the Deadline 2026 demoparty where it ranked #3 out of 10 entries in the so-called “Three-Dee compo”. It was displayed in anaglyph 3D for an audience wearing red-cyan glasses.
