　　Everything you see in the video is "100 percent in-engine footage, rendered in real-time," Cloud Imperium says. The video explains that, since planets are so large they could never fit in memory, planet surfaces and procedurally generated on-demand at different levels of detail.

　　Cloud Imperium points out that what you see in the video is a work in progress, but it looks pretty darn impressive all the same.
