Why it works
The first 0:13 sells the finished game world, then 0:18–0:40 peels it back into countable vertices, triangles, and materials. From 2:12–3:51 the same locomotive narrows to one vertex and a projected triangle, keeping an abstract process anchored to one object. The 5:15–5:28 replay peak pairs rasterization with a 4K pixel grid and an 8.3-million-pixel scale comparison.
