rather edible.
biology rocks
Very nice approach indeed. So much for biology lessons :)
this should have reached the top 3 : kewlers rule....
Bio-demo rocks ! Original and well made !
Not my cup of tea.. I didn't like the blurred design, not the effects, and not the music.
I see that it's well-made, but I simply didn't like it.

For me _the real_ 3rd place of the compo...
Features a very unique, microscope-like look. Unfortunately it's a bit long and boring (but only a little bit), which may be the reason for the bad compo result

the depth focussing effect made this thing look photorealistic on the big screen. one of my favourites from the competition.
Quite nice, but I guess I expected something more.
i really was suprised that this didn't get into top-3. should've been there.
a bit slow on radeon9000 p4 2ghz. original and done with great style. but a bit eventless and a bit too abstract for my taste to get the thumb up
before watching im thinking that it must be cool cuz it's kewlers (how original expression..)
now i have watched it, and IT*S FUCKING BRILLIANT! like BEST demo ever (and i mean it)!! oh god... oh god i want to see more kewlers demos..
(sorry about caps)

This was as sweet as honey!!
Slow in a gf2 but seems rather cool
Splendid
Very few demos actually reach the quality and maturity of this one.
Anti-conventional yes, while seeing the simplicity/cleanliness of the winning intros & demos at bp, this one is at the total opposite, which makes it very appealing. I've never seen such an amazing organic design in a demo before.
Colors are very very well chosen, making it look very photorealistic. The permanant & moving blur effect is very well used to enhance this look.
The music is very very mature too, switching from time to time between pop, idm and few very basic electro elements, as kewlers musicians can do and do well.
The soundtrack also has a lot of syncho elements, but in the demo it's very well done, it's not over-synced like it would be in many idm & techno demos and it works very nicely like it is.
I like very much the way it's directed, even if it may appear very conventional : the classical "scene after scene" show, but it actually works quite well and also features the kewlers touch in the first and the last scene.
The actual credits are even done with this old bump text effect ( an effect i usually don't like, but this time done in a very nice way ). The idea reminds me of those dogma movies which don't use any special text editing for the credits and where credit texts are actually filmed using some special natural effect ( underwater, candle lighted, flying papers.. )
Very nice that kewlers decided to release this at breakpoint, especially after their award for Variform. Doing something going in another direction was completely unexpected and I actually like that. We like to see different demos, don't we ?
Can you render this masterpiece to a video file ? I would enjoy very much watching it at full speed on my laptop..

interesting demo
schweet
this is just soooo beautiful and the music is fucking the best thing ever!
this one rocks!
this is not a demo, it's a lifeform.
totally organic design, effects, and music.
love love love.

word up.
Looks good as a slideshow, propably even better when it runs properly and the music definately rocks.
Great stuff, how in the world was this 7th? Not enough kaupallista potentiaalia apparently. Everything is good, even the music although it's not really my favourite style. Now if I just had the money to buy a faster PC..
could be faster (damn my cpu is getting outdated)
but its really great, especially everything in there :)

sorry i forgot to mention one thing... KEWLERS SUCK!
I'm rather speechless..
new word in demomaking!!!
finally, some good uses for pixel shaders. I like. A lot.
keiichi-fire: What pixel shaders?
Also, I really can't follow the hype here, at least on the big screen it looked quite ordinary to me.

Not so cool like 'Variform', but anyway a very good demo.
i see no need for pixelshaders for this (this kindof DOF effect is *easily* made with rendertargets, it has been used before to i guess) unless for some speed optimizations... uhm, seems to suck alot o fillrate, wich makes it REALLY laggy here.. i cant really see why tho :)
not a bad demo, but a bit slow, a bit booring and well. not really funny.. to laggy to jaa, schöön.
don't meantion the war.

this should have been second damnit!
This may not be the most action-packed demo ever, but the visual stylings sure caught my attention. Absolutely fantastic.
One of the best of Breakpoint as far as overall continuity and design. Nothing amateur at all about this one. More proof that Kewlers belong in the hall of fame of demo design.
The music is some of the best out there as well, sort of a mix of newschool IDM clicks with older Autechre-ish synth design. Still melodic and fits perfectly in the context of the visuals.
Some people might complain about bad performance, and yes, it is taxing even on my system... But shouldn't it be? Why not have something that looks like it's from NEXT YEAR instead of TWO YEARS AGO? Only improvement would be having a resolution/bit depth setup screen.
Into the archive you go!

kewlers suck, of course. 8)
on the other hand, this demo is beautiful. makes you wanna visit a library and grab a book on microbiology. 8) this is how 'primordial soup' could've looked like.

this demo has an unique organic feel. especially on big screen it captured me!
should have won the 3rd price no doubt on that. music is very nice too!

This is definitely one of the most fucking original demos I've ever seen.
Other than that, I totally agree with Ryg. This thing is alive, even more than HPlus is.

YES
yeah! great! fantastic! rulzorZ!
Beautiful, floating, atmospheric, would've deserved better placing (perhaps that'll be corrected at Scene.org Awards 2003? :)
Only thing that unfortunately broke the concistency was the -97 bumpmap credits in the beginning.

Forgot to say that the soundtrack kicks ass... Mel Funktion and Little Bitchard are the new Groo and Dune of the demoscene.
bumpmap sucked ass indeed :)
beautifully organic.
bumpmap rules.
kewlers suck.

You create almost LIVE world in you demo, guys! Such impressive and atmospheric, even outdated bump-credits looks in the theme :)
i should watch it again while sober... but it rocked at the party, that's for sure
nah, bumpmap is perfectly okay with me 8)
thanks for all the comments ppl.
I was thinking we'd be in for a cold shower for doing a demo like this.
we try to encapture a new concept into each new demo we make. I can assure you there will _never_ be variform2 or any other sequals for that matter. so many new things juat haven't been done yet.

it looks awesome but, why is it so slow?
cool green part. really feels like a microscope. looks as if you lost a few bits of precision with your rendertargets.
ME LIIIKES!!!
This is great! You guys rock!
KEWLERS SUCK!!
i love microkosmos, so i love this Demo. thx.
This is a secret hint
I love this. So far clearly the best demo I've seen from BP.
a new dimension was born with this demo

the reason why i thought it used pixelshaders.. oh well ;)

I have to add that the music is awesome like in variform. Stylish and well structured, go on ! Respect :)Very slow in here. Kinda interesting original theme. I am kinda beetween thumbing it up or not..
deserved a top3 place, but is fucking slow here as well.
Slow as hell here, but what I managed to view was rather original, and that is rather difficult to acomplish in this days :P
OOOOOOOooooo nice. !
not bad, but too abstract
where is my vote???? roxxx!!!! music!!
variforms in green? no... but samples of music sounds like in variforms
interesting travel in the blood, the fight of a virus, cool
the start is too long, boring, but after i falled in this deep world, and it's cool

my personal award
inspired by björk's "nature is ancient" video?
nope (imo björk sucks ass).
inspired by the plethora of omnipresent itchy-bitchy teenie-weenie little thingies such as micro-organisms, spores etc.
nature is way cooler than music videos done for commercial artists.

yes...kewlers suck...sooooo hard.
flrnt: i think perhaps photorealistic is one of the only words not suiting this demo :-)
well, maybe, that sometimes happens when writing comments late at night after having seen the demo only at the party place :P
anyway, the look was .. original (\/)

it started off more or less ok but after a while i started to feel a tad disappointed since i was full of high expectations, kind of of charged with 'em after reading all the kooky comments here @ pouet.. wrong i was! worlds unfolding on my screen took me far'n'deep! too bad it wasnt smooth enough with duron850/gf4mx440_64mb
great work // good ride // only scene makes it possible!
This put a new meaning to the word cool!
a new style... really :)
runs perfectly on my amd xp 1600 + ti4200
even under linux + winex3 :)
very stylish and a good flow...
what should i say...
a real kewler :)

yes believable organic movement is really hard ... looked great in spots ... muzik works too
this demo is incredibly cool. it is provably equipotent to te-2rb by tplom. when the
future can be visualized, then this the artwork of this production might be the
closest result. it doesn't actually show effects, but reveals the acoustic - and mental - world of the amoeba (which is quite hard to depict basically because all reported approaches before needed a sleeping bag, at least). protozoa is completly non-pathetic and unsucks. we remark that it does not contain en explicit political statement.

I'm sorry guys, I can't digest it.
simply impressing. i like the overall idea/feeling of this demo. it's so organic and fresh. no static, boring objects. everything flows and moves. nice music aswell. kewlers did a great job.
ok,
now if someone doesn't quickly give me 3d gpu i'll come to beat shit out of you guys.
btw. your demo is rulez

Lovely. Didn't like the blurred look though too much.
Little Bitchard and Mel Funktion also once again took the music to a new level. The music just backs up the visual style perfectly.
i liked this one better than Variform

So sweet demo. Very atmospheric and smooth. Kewlers rock once again.
i´ve just been watching this once more - and for the first time i realised how much gantz graf there is already in this one. even in the music it´s there (especially in the end). to me glitch was too close to the original to be really great but i just love how it was done here.
nice!
Kewl! I like this one! Kewlers is the most original demoteam EVER!!!
Very beautiful but extremely slow.
i like it.
this demo is.... wooowww... i can 't even tell....
the atmosphere is so cool... and every objet looks so real... when you look at this demo you feel like in another world... it's just like if you exit you're own body to live for some minutes in the protozoa world.
the sound track is hypnotic and really fits this demo...
definitively an awesome demo.

I thought it sucked a bit the first time I saw it.. I had my checklist ready before me..
X Strange beat
O Hip hop references
O The same cool thing as in variform
O Beer references
X Nice colours
O Karate?
O Explosions?
O Anal Sex?
O Violence?
O Old women?
In short, this demo didnt have the necessary ingredients at that time.. But after a while, it grew on me and twisted my brain into realizing that in fact this is one hell of a cool demo... Didnt even notice the cool blur here and there the first time around.. Roxxorz!

thumbs up, maybe the best demo i've ever seen. like that blurryness, gives it a special atmosphere when its getting sharper once in a while. and the music.. hell, I already voted on scenemusic.net with 5 stars, this is such a good track and its so harmonical with the demo. good work!
Again, one of the greatest demos ;) If you guys have some soundtracks like this one that you don't know what to do with it, email me ;)
Demosceners can show something new even in 2003?! Wow, great work, k(m)ewlers! :)
But why just 7th place?
I'm not gonna thumb this neither up nor down until someone (that means you curly sue) gets rid of that horrible green colour!
but the music is excellent. damn hippies! or at least I think it's excellent, otherwise it wouldn't be stuck in my head this way!

one of the best from kewlers, very organic looking and great music
Very Powerful Demo
Thats a Awesum track with an sharp organtic design

Really unique look - nice music. Excellent!
this one is really cool. nice zik, too.
This one wasn't for me. The fact that it ran like a snail didn't help it a bit :(
Not quite Variform, but still very decent. Perhaps it will be better when I get a real graphics card ;-)
love it, especially the music
great - I admire Your code. It looks that there was no scripting tools used.
-=\.oOo./=-
rulez, but the blur was too strong some times!
really nice job on the organic stuff ;D
really nice job on the organic stuff ;D
unusual stuff.
respect for the idea. but using just some rotating phototextures dont make it interesting for more than 10sec
A vote at last.
kewlers rulz !
COUP DE CEUR!!
good music, though a little dull. the demo as a whole is a bit uneventful, but pretty still.
No comments on this one yet? One of my favourite demos. I never realized how good it is before I upgraded my video card.. The atmosphere is something unique.
One of a kind, no doubt.
Great atmosphere, great music, good visuals.

GREAT !
i didn`r thumb-up it yet?! shame on me, maaan...
Yeahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! Greaaaaaaaaat!
Very original music and Very original concept witn innovative use of hw gfx.
Real piece of art! Great coherency between visuals and music
i really shouldn't forget to thumb up such great demos
Nice organic feel. No wonder they made the great We Cell later. Good sync with music.
Sweet
Awesome. All-in!
one of the best demo's i've ever seen in my life.. i really love it.. very original and the music is -increible-
sorry - it's really good (well executed/music/credits/etc).. just a little boring..
oink.
oink.
did I say rulez?
Scary ;) But I like it :)
Just a piggy.
very experimental and organic. nice.
I just realized I can now thumb this up since I got a blue version for my birthday 1.5 years ago
ohfuck, i wanted to thumb down the blue version :(
There was a time when I didnt get this demo.
good.
Fricking awesome!, soundtrack completely stands on its own and matches the fx perfectly! I Love it! I was blown away when I first saw this. There is a brilliant 'Moonshine mix' of the soundtrack 'Isoljator' out there too (currently on last.fm).
if you only had 1 opportunity to give a demo two thumbs up, this would be my choice..
Great
I just can't get tired of this music!
grrrrrrrrrrrreat! amazing sync and visuals!
rulez of course!
great abstraction. concept itself is well executed and has a nice flow to it. thats one of those demos you never get tired watching.
sure thing
that was strange. in a good way.
Although I don't really get fond to the palette, the tune creates a very nice Arc so that all those amoeba stuff doesn't get too boring.
this NEVER gets boring ..
i second sprocket
it's another kewlers pron.
The first attempt to create an organic look that really worked. There are so many beautiful scenes with well chosen colors, nice particles systems and great synchronization with an awesome soundtrack. Thumb up! But I suppose here and there some scenes could have been even kewler and there is quite a bit potential for more “direction”.
The colors are not really my taste here (reminds me too much this Mother "Fucking" Nature), but the soundtrack is superb, and the effects are pretty neat. Although a bit slow on my machine at the time, but here you go.
O_0--b
Biology: kewlers style
organic masterpiece
The music alone is a thumbs up, but with the addition of the visuals and the heavy sync it's actually two thumbs up.
can't believe I haven't thumbed this
amazing nature
obviously
Nice one.
great
Sync is nice. I think the embossed text looks awesome in this demo, I haven't seen anything like it before and I guess it will look just as good in another five years.
Cant believe I never commented this. Its something awesome, music rocks.
Better late than never... here's da thumb!
A classic! Totally underrated!!
i liked this way more than variform, but couldnt enjoy it at all though. technically fine stuff, but I just dont get the style, it´s not my cup of tea. piggy.
wow!
best ambient demo ever =)
cool concept.
oh wow. definitely a skilled piece of work
wicked
I really enjoyed it. Not to mention the Autehcre/Ganz Graf-style jerky movements in the end ;). Believable organic design :).
Mmmm! The music!
<3
good effects, nice feel. Not my thing in terms of resulting visuals.
I've seen it and forgotten it.
where is my thumb?
Genius demo. neverding soundtrack. makes me damn happy
never dying of course
love
ahhhhhhhhh! its goood!
unforgettable demo experience
Top notch stuff, soundtrack rulez. And I love the sync effect at the end.
sweet
Overrated,but good.
Not interesting these days.
one of the greatest demos ever crafted.
yeah right. like we need more of the "i can do shiny phong shading"-crap (or cubes).

shame on me, it is one of kewlers best.

Yes yes yes yes. 100000 times yes.
one of the best
fucking awesome soundtrack
this has one the best music pieces ever made
soundtrack sucks. visuals suck. therefore, strange i never thumbed this beauty up! hereby then!
An excellent demo with great music. One of my all-time favourites.
what sm said. some of the parts start to look a bit garish due to unfitting color choices (green/grey especially) and the textures at points start to look a bit sludgy and low-res due to the blurring, but aside from those two relatively minor points this is just daunting and immersive as fuck, a big part of it due to the amazing track.
PROTOZOA
Classic.
visuals are very nice but the music is absolutely not my cup of tea :( so piggey.
Little Bitchard at his finest! This track has been a staple of my "favorites" playlist for over a decade.
late thumb
this was more than ok
classic.

Still one of my favorite demo soundtracks ever!
