Weird Al Stars in Weezer's Cover of Africa

PandaCube PC-05: Flux PPR demo - ft. work by Zonbie

Zonbie says...

Yeah, some of them are very gpu and or CPU bound - Fairlights particle based rendering in particular are a strain on most systems - but to be fair most demos are designed to work with medium hardware - the trick is getting a lot out of it without resorting to 8 CPUs 3 GPUs and a tonne of memory

(this demo runs just fine on a 260GTX for example - this demo is GPU heavy)

most of the time the demos will run just fine without you needing up to date HW etc

DirectX10 is what we use (it, amongst other things has less dependancy issues than DX9)

you should definitely have a look at some of the newer stuff from last year and this year, so good demos

>> ^TheGenk:

They are still pushing. And I'm sorry that you missed the glorious demo years of the 2000s
I, sadly, lost a bit of an interest when my computer could no longer handle the processing needs of demos a year ago.
>> ^VidRoth:
Wow, Demo comps are still going on? I used to love these things back in the '90s when they were pushing the limits of pre-hardware-accelerated graphics.


Commodore 64 Crack Intro Collection

rkone says...

I'm gonna guess that the ones listing their phone # are not around anymore....

I know Fairlight lasted a while, and we didn't see a demo from them but greets were put out to Razor, although I'm not sure the current Razor is any more Razor than the current Atari is Atari..

Panic Room by Fairlight (64k demo) - amazing.

>> ^NicoleBee:
64k? I'm absolutely blown away, even assuming they are using procedural textures.. does the music count as well?

I've never worked on demos, but it's my understanding that everything you see and hear comes out of that 64KB, yes. Procedural everything (and a bit of sampling on the audio, I assume) and ridiculous system specs to make it run smoothly.

/// About the intro:

Apparently we finished another 64k...
...Except that ALL of us are extremely satisfied with it.
(Then again there's probably always a first time.)

Hard to believe that all it took to have an intro that's fun
to make and enjoyable to watch (for us) was around +50 BPM.
Sorry for no deep emotions or touching scene poetry this time;
we thought it was time to do something else.
Interestingly, losing BP06 and breaking the winning streak
helped the creative process immensely - freedom is AWESOME.

We're apparently going against (among others) Farbrausch, Fairlight,
and Kewlers in the 64k compo. Hard to say what chances do
we have, but one thing's for sure: we're really really happy
with our intro already, so from this point it can only get better.

We'd like to thank everyone who supported us during our harder times,
we hope a lot of you will enjoy this intro even if it's not something
you would expect from us. (Cue catchphrase here.)

Many thanks go to ryg of farbrausch for kkrunchy, and the Opera
guys at Assembly'06 for lending us a computer to enter the
intro. Also, greetings to everyone who didn't fit into the intro
greets.

Enjoy the intro as much as we did.
