With what kind of application is this made?

Related Videos refer to Hypershot .. so ... best guess?

Autodesks Showcase is far better in so many respects

Unless you have the computing power you will never see "real-time". We run Opticore and showcase on a 192 core SGI icebox cluster and there is still a slight delay when rotating geometry...but we are rotating 1.5-2gb files with 75 million polys too.
