Yeah, we we paid artists an hourly wage for both of those demos' 
assets.  (The truck track is part of a larger demo that was a full game 
with props and pickups, etc., we made for a particular customer, but we 
had to remove all the content other than the track because it was too 
customer-specific.)

The problem is you can pay an artist a small fortune for a demo and it 
will still look dated compared to state of the art game assets one sees 
in AAA games.  So in the end you might as well stay with an 'abstract' 
look for a physics / AI demo.
