I could write a long and elaborate rant about FLT's chronic consistency issues here, but naaah. Great visuals, good music, what do you need more.

hm, the d3dx9_36.dll that comes in the zip made vista moan, if you get the one from dll-files.com and overwrite it, this one works ok in vista.

nice graphics, looked like a professional demoreel done realtime. the con of that is that it also made the scenes rather disconnected tbh. but still, swell artwork!

This prod. took me! From the original FLT sound while showing the FLT logo at the beginning. The TBL logo (first time seeing this on a PC though ;-) To the fresh, shiny, sharp and summer feel it gave me! The exploding heads.... (why is CNCD written on one head?) The 'cartoonish part' , nice uplifting music with some speech, and than the smoke in the landscape, the wall with gravity's (isn't Sunflower a dead pc group nowadays? :) Nice logo's at the end.. Is everything in this demo exclusively made for his demo or also used elsewhere in real life stuff? Ah who cares.. This is my new fav. demo!! Pantaloon + Louie500 now enter the NVscene demo compo please ;-) Respect! Thumb!

Nice. Especially the "smoke" scene. But overall quite average (well for you guys). The whole thing lacks some kind of climax and as it was already said is quite incoherent in design.

Cool ideas, especially the pipe in the beginning rules :)

Nice graphics, but somewhat incoherent - also I wonder that there wasn't a bit more timing, since the music was really up to that.

However, a very solid thumb of course.

stunning down to the smallest detail.

music was very mediocre d&b for me though, but still gave that floating and airy feeling to the demo very well.

music definitely ties the whole thing together, even though it seems to be a bit uneventful (the music that is).

visuals seemed a bit random, but some scenes were just great. liked the "2d vector" style and the particles/smoke ones best.

definitely rules though.

humor aside, this is very good stuff, the inconsistency is yes, very irritating, but the pipes looks really good, and the concrete world - effect is very impressive. i'd love to see you do something more consistent, but then again, this is the demoscene, we're allowed to do whatever we want, but still it nags me that you have such great potensial, and dont utilize it properly!

added on the 2008-07-03 06:55:05 by mSW mSW
Sure, it may be a bit disconnected (but just a bit, not the flamboyant mix of a thousand styles as some suggest here), but it is still f---ing solid. The pipes (love the welding-points) are alone the most original idea I have seen in a demo this year (it might be from something at XPLSV.tv for all I know, but I choose to think not :). I don't really love the music (too uneventful, but still well made) but not really something that pulls it down as a whole. The smoke and blobby effects look really good, but I can't help but think that some different camera angles would have elevated them both. Still, a lot of details (shadows on both of those two effects, the greetings spread throughout in different elements etc.) make this a solid, solid demo - perhaps the best in the compo.

I was very surprised by this, its fresh design is great although at first glance it appeared a bit unconnected, nice effects and graphics, I quite like the music and it fit the demo perfectly.
rulez added on the 2008-07-03 10:46:19 by dv$ dv$
Awesome stuff, only part I didn't like was the buttons at the start, which is good but perhaps not to my taste.

Looks polished all the way through, although it still lacks some kind of theme perhaps. I thought the still demo was as good on the whole, even though this has way better effects and graphics, and I guess that's the effect of the solid theme and continuity in the still one. Maybe the pipe scene could be slower too... it looks cool, but I don't get enough time to appreciate it :)

Overall I reckon it's a good step forwards for flt.. the quality is still stunning, but it looks properly finished :)

I'm getting some nasty glitches though with the fluid and smoke scenes - basically, the 'front' of the object (where it's growing) flickers like a bitch, but the rest of the object is fine. I'm probably on old drivers though, so I'll give it a try with some newer ones. That's on ATI 2600.

I also had to delete the dll to get it to load.

i dont think i need to do it. but just for you:

it bored me.
its the same conventional structure like on dozends of demos since the early 90s...

lots of scenes with switching content and no real consistency,connection

perhaps only a detail but the cubemap really facehugged me!
its a cubemap of a rather dark room and for sure not of the surrounding scene.

the static 2d layer frame...
i doubt it should still be used at 2008.

didnt watched it until the end so i dont know who is responsible for it but i would rather prefer abit more of the smash factor next time
instead of this oldfashioned noninspiring stuff.

Like a lot of people apparently, I liked the pipes (particularly the welding -- the organic-looking parts of constructed objects are often neglected, so it was refreshing). I was also sort of relieved when the graffiti wall came up, since it got a bit cleaner. Much of the demo had parts that were kind of random and I didn't care for much.. Like people in gasmasks falling apart into triangles... not sure where these cliches came from. This was the most cliched compo I've seen in a long time.

amazing stuff! interesting styles,
but too many different ones
in the same box, imho.
it falls apart, although the tune
glues all a bit together.
many hands and minds piling up
a bunch of excellent work, i guess.
every scene has its strengths,
but at the end, the whole is
less than the sum of its parts.
anyway, very good demo(s) :)

Anyway, this is let down by some mediocre parts (e.g. the badges), but overall the style is fucking awesome. I love the welded pipes part. This is the essence of what I would call 'demo'.

@Panatloon: is the smoke made from post-process blended spheres (ie blurred geometry)?
rulez added on the 2008-07-05 23:48:58 by auld auld
first i render alot of different geometry (not just spheres) (render the Z and normals only). sharpen the normal edges, blur ... then i apply lighting as a postprocess part. to get a cubemap on it i just project back the Z to worldspace.

SMASH did all the last FLT Demos i was happy to see one By PANTALOON but despite the fact that there is lot of works in this demos,
i expected so much that i'm very unsatisfied

i loved the smog effect though .

Yeah must say not very impressed Im afraid. The dismantling of the high-polycount models didnt really do it for me, however the strong point was absolutely the button-intro, which was very well done, although a little lengthy for my taste.

extremely fresh stuff, but a bit too slow paced and repetitive at times. although every scene looks good it is all too disconnected, and I expected even more from the involved people
added on the 2008-07-07 17:00:50 by hollowman hollowman
Still gives me this mixed feeling with late flt demos, where some scene don't fit (the breaking polygon scene was a bit too long imho). Though the art, gfx and effects where extraordinary. There are a lot of stuff that I like here like the cylinder mapping on the tubes, the cell shaded(?) artistic objects, the beginning with the colorful thingies, and the smoke thing effect. This is a demo as in demo.
rulez added on the 2008-07-07 17:25:25 by Optimus Optimus
@pantaloon: thanks. yeah I was trying something similar. Missed the trick with sharpened normals which I guess means each pass is unconditional whereas I was doing a conditional blur (to retain normals at the edge of geometry) and that was slow. Kudos.

All together quite decent, but I really don't like seeing multiple times the same barely interesting thing (the already mentionned polygonal decomposition).
Also not really fan of the blur like effect on most of the parts (badges, fluid thingy, ...)That's a shame because else there are quite nice parts (like the welded tubes).

Probably one of the demos in the truest original form in recent years.

"Let's show off."
"Aaaaight, what have we got?"
"Plenty of this and that."
"Sounds good, what else?"
"This stuff might look cool too, let's throw it in."
"Ace, it's a wrap."

And that's what I truly still love. It doesn't have to be coherent (a new fashion word, eh?) all the time. It's about doing stuff you think might look cool. And that's what I truly appreciate in this demo. It's very "honest" in that regard and doesn't try to be something else. Just good old fun. Rocks.

Nice production, but my suggestion is to use a smaller mesh (or something) and use more correct physics for the smoke. Sure its nice, but it is too optimized for me. (i want to see vortex movements and stuff like that).

The transitions are boring, (fade to white and back to new scene or fade to black and back) and as hollowman said "it is all too disconnected, and I expected even more from the involved people"

This one always stuck with me; I remember being stoked on the visual style when it came out and the soundtrack really carried the vibe. Now 15 years later I still get the tune stuck in my head from time to time, which is not something I can say about most prods, so it’s funny to read all the comments complaining that it was uneventful, which I guess is sorta true, but also I’ve never felt like it needed anything more (for its time). Still love it. Also:

Last thing; I never actually thought the demo was inconsistent, at least any more than the style it emulates (and confidently achieves).

this demo aged really well, still looks great in 4k resolution, with multisampling to the max 15 years later!
