They're pretty awesome.

Absolutely captivating. My screensaver is currently showing 6th generation creatures. 20 units distance so far!

Very cool. I've seen the video before, but not for years, so thanks for that!

Investigating the screensaver now...

The showreel of the company Karl Sims works for these days is pretty cool too, if you're in the mood for several minutes of random special-effects prettiness. Quite disappointing not to see much further work on these lines on his site though...

Oooh, shiny video.

But yes, shame nothing more useful came out of the research.
