revision

Demo time again.

Yep, been a while since I did one of these demoscene posts, but revision (the breakpoint/main easter party replacement) and the gathering parties have passed, and there's plenty of new + interesting stuff released. Downloads (mostly PC/windows) available from the pouet links.

Here's a small selection:

numb res by Carillon & Cyberiad & Fairlight

Yep, new fairlight demo, with smash's crazy coding skills in full effect here. Doing fluids at this quality, in realtime, is insane. The demo is great too. And it's rendered in 3D. I'll put the anaglyph version up as most of you guys will have the shades, if not watch the 2d version here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wPdYfn9_dIM http://www.pouet.net/prod.php?which=56900

We Crave Sustenance by PlayPsyCo

I liked the tune + style of this one. Nothing all that incredible compared to the fairlight demo (this one won at the gathering, fairlight came 2nd!) but still cool. http://www.pouet.net/prod.php?which=56901

Shake Off The Dust by Elude

Low res, but some really creative effects and nice design. This was made on an amiga, and it puts a lot of the stuff we do in QC to shame - anyone want to try matching it on equivalent hardware? That would be a 68k mac! :O

Monstra Kosa by Satori

Software rendered. Not everyone's cup of tea - satori have a strange, hard but psychadelic eastern european style. And I'm not going to bother linking to youtube, the compression just can't cope with this - watch it realtime on a fast PC if you can, if not download the video from here: http://zd3n.com/files/str_monstra_kosa.mp4 http://www.pouet.net/prod.php?which=56881

Code Is My Pron by Nuance

This one's 4k. The audio is.. different. But the visuals are great. Somewhere in the pouet comments somebody linked the shader too, plenty to learn in there I think (if you can decipher it). From a very quick look, I think it's possibly simple feedback effects, but performed on a 3d texture. The texture is then raymarched. (this is an educated guess, might be wrong :) http://www.pouet.net/prod.php?which=56866
