STNICCC 2000++ by Newline
STNICCC 2000++ by newline. -------------------------- . 1MB STf 1 disk, not tested otherwise This is a "port" of the "STNICCC2000 Demo" (party version) by Oxygene: http://www.pouet.net/prod.php?which=1251 for the ST-NICCC-Competition held by by Heaven/Desire and Axis/Oxyron for Revision 2019: http://www.pouet.net/topic.php?which=11559&page=1 http://arsantica-online.com/st-niccc-competition/ This rewrite is just a little test how well my polyrouts will do in comparision; aka "how fast can this specific scene be rendered on a 1040 STf". This intro runs in intro mode per default - press B anywhere up to or on the title screen to run the benchmark mode (aka no intermissions and with a timer at the end). The scene to render itself is a 2D poly- gonal data stream that can be found at one of the links above. Original 3D-scene: Mon/OXYGENE Music: Dolby/newline. Code/some add. 3D: tIn/newline. Technical --------- A few things to know: -Oxygenes original party version had no music on STf, so this version (which renders the scene in 3:21) is the baseline version to dis- regard music/mod player overhead -this intro renders the scene in 2:03 with disk streaming and music driver (full Soundmagic driver, no music stream) -original stream data is used and naively rendered as-is -no additional metadata is used (e.g. clearregions, color-histograms etc.) -every single frame and every polygon is rendered and masked in full 4 bitplanes -polyrout can render scene in 1:57 w/o music/disk streaming and with slightly dffernet data format (but same poly data) There is a lot of room for further speed improvements on a scene and poly data level, but to keep comparability with focus on the polyrouts I decided to just render whatever the original data stream says. Thanks to Heaven and Axis for coming up with this challenge. I personally hope this kind of party-transcending challenges will stick and become a thing (like the checkerboard one). tIn/newline.
