It's a tech demo/research project, which means the code is basically continuously broken, but I did bodge it into workingness on Linux. It's impressive but doesn't quite live up to the videos --- I think they're using features that weren't working in my copy. But it is one that you can actually get your hands on and play with.
Proland is by the same person who did the wonderful Rama animation here, using some of the same procedural generation technology:

Although Rama wasn't rednered in realtime.
- aluhut 11y agoThat Rama animation was better then the book.
- david-given 11y agoClarke's book is amazing, but the animation is certainly better than Gentry Lee's execrable (shudder) sequels.
- junke 11y agoThe first book was great.
- oniony 11y agoI concur...they went progressively downhill.
