The lava in the road demonstration was incredibly impressive. That small thing made me more excited for Mists of Pandaria than any other panel so far, and the art panel as a whole blew me away as always. The new lighting and shadow engine especially struck me. Beautiful, beautiful work.

New Lighting engine? Ooh can't wait to see what this brings. I wish for a decent Ambient Occlusion featur, its just one of those things that just add so much depth and a hint of realism, especially to very stylised art design.

The thing they demonstrated was mostly a shadows thing, about representing depth better than the current engine which makes them appear rather flat. Some before/after images they showed made a stunning difference, with the new engine absolutely beautiful.
