if sth. like this is wanted, i volunteer for modelling.

the basic idea of the techdemo isn't bad, so it is a corridor with many rooms, each showing another feature. all i would do is make new rooms (ideas here!) and arrange them in a differentway: something round like a parthenon temple with a big statue in the middle, and the demo rooms being aligned radially to it.

so we need ideas for the rooms. my suggestions:
- the centre room (big statue, rotating slowly. in front 4 computers which you can click on. one switches the model to wireframe, two to solid, three to textured, four to normal mapped)
- nature room (terrain, water, plants etc.)
- particle room (rain, fire, explosion effects)
- light room (static and dynamic light, candles floating around or sth. like that)
- your suggestions here...
