Fairlight Cncd Agenda Circling Forth Breakpoint 2010

[jbjbgang2]

NOOOOO THEY BLEW UP DA MOON

[BurntFossil]

blu ray? you do realise its only 63.5mb right XD

[Stas3g]

I want this on Blue-Ray :-) With stable fps and 1920x1080 )))

[PiratGeneralen]

@Stas3g Me 2.

[spondicious]

Love the forest "running thing" scene at 2:00 :-)

[agentsteell]

does anyone know who did the remix? thanx

[TheFerruccio]

@agentsteell Varia (it says at the end)

Look up their stuff! It's great.

[shonway68]

Queen of the universe by Socrates and Vangelis ,  what is varia? ..

[Suppenpapa]

Hmmm I think this demo deserves at least 1080p ...

[Polybun]

intresting that doing things via particles is the way things are done on the amiga for much "3d" graphics. It's just rfaster than polygons. It appears here they have adapted that to the pc, on the pc scale of particles.

[dvdv7777]

@Polybun It is not really faster. It shares scalability problems with voxels. On top of that,the particles are rendered using pairs of triangles forming quads, these quads are then always oriented towards the screen. One significant problem is that the quads all have unique vertices, and cannot be reused, so the GPU's vertex cache is actually not used at all. And it shows: this demo is VERY slow on most cards.

[Polybun]

@dvdv7777 I would think then the speed problem would be more attributed to graphics ram speed than lack of power on the part of the gpu. Also the CPU is calculating the vertices correct? So then there is the problem of moving data back and forth across the system buss right?

[jimismad]

True art. this is beautiful.

[WeilheimCvlt]

I love demos- and often they look way better than common graphics... even pre-generated

[dedde333]

lol sound at 4:34 :D

[Scotopik]

God damn that's awesome! :D

[Elbarto1277]

No pixel <3

[Xistove]

This video is summoning Lavos.

[ZombieBionic]

What is the name of this song? I love it!

[MrSh1nob1]

@ZombieBionic this is a very mix

from the track-

Queen of the universe by sOcrates !

Nice compo--

[Radiotuman]

Bravo!

[z1ph0n3]

How could this win over FR-43? Sure it's nice... but fr-43 is much better!

[lamerdeluxe]

@z1ph0n3

technically spoken this one beats fr-43 by ages.

[bestplugins]

thats the future, no more poligons, all particles, awesome.

[deleuzean]

I quite agree. I never thought about it this way before, but polygon dominance is exactly why so much computer generated imagery looks so ugly - all those mashed together hard-edged pointy shapes. Nothing beats the soft beauty of a circle - or loads of really tiny circles.

[KSINF0S]

Fantastic demo and Remix !

[evayalje]

amazing.

[81403sk]

Probably the most beautiful and artsy demo the demoscene has to offer.. absolutely love it!

It's a shame you need some alien hardware to run it decently :)

[laxmanstretch]

if i had to be picky, it could do with more colour.

[laxmanstretch]

is their grey lines in this demo or is it my video card?

i play this video and there are grey line, i play the benchmark demo on my pc and i see the same occation light grey lines as bright things leave the screen. Any clues folks?

[crocz]

@laxmanstretch

The grey lines are part of the demo, not unintentional. Also, it's not a benchmark, it's a demo as in "demoscene"

[mumpump]

like fucking WOW! what software was this done on?

[f4saken]

@mumpump

done with programming, you can download the .exe at pouet.net (search for agenda circling forth) =)

cheers

[Dersev]

@mumpump

it's only a code.

Probably assembler.

Programed textures...

[psychoforce]

killah!!

[vbobkovsky]

i'm blown away

[eugenealive]

amazing graphics, but shitty music

[skinjob1]

@eugenealive

The music is just a remix of an old Socrates/Vangelit tune:

Vidoe ID = sqXpXmFDzF8

I think the remix is well executed, but the lack of a reference to the original is just plain lame.

[eugenealive]

@skinjob1

I mean the music itself is great, but this gay vocals spoils it a bit.

[arrowshot55]

@eugenealive

lol, i agree i was WOW after my speakers started to rattle my floors by the awesome music start but after hearin that muddy male voice i had to turn down my vol. Btw video is gorgeous!

[MichalTCZ]

@skinjob1 Is it possible to get this remix somewhere?

[FTS2009]

Amazing demo, sad that this was the last Breakpoint.... Maybe someone else continue with a demoparty like Breakpoint.

[nuahsx]

this vid deserves more than 12,000 views

[DynamicDevil]

Cool vid, shit song

[blarghle]

This video is probably one of the most inspiring pieces of digital artwork I've seen in a long time. Beautiful stuff, truly amazing.

[Amigaga51]

La gestion des particules est tout simplement impressionnante ! une excellente demo !

[sagraelson]

wouw! packing class and kicking ass!

[iTalented]

Amazing particle control. I love CNCD AND Fairlight as they always never fail to amaze, even the non-demoscene followers!

[33ordie]

Insane, but it's fairly slow on my Radeon HD4890 and core i7.

[getpagesize]

Jesus christ guys, what are you talking about running this demo on a 8800 GTX/GT for?

This is Breakpoint 2010 -- yes, 2010, when did 8800 GTX hit the market? Oh, I believe it was 2006?

If you didn't know already, 8800 GTX is a piece of fucking shit by 2010, as plain and simple as that, single digit FPS rate? What else do you expect?

[kinggimped]

@getpagesize I think you might want to calm down a little.

[artman40]

That's what happens when Particle Man meets Universe Man!

[skinjob1]

These guys even received some "special price" made up on the spot by some nvidia PR guy for "best disappropriation of nvidia GPUs". Was kinda heart-warming though... :-)

[sjefdeklerk]

This already is my alltime favorite ! Just amazing !

[Getier2k]

u dont neet the "ULTIMATE" gaphiccard .... a 8800 is enough ... but the time to render all this stuff needs more

but u can still make the same video ... a video without lagg ..

[ZeeKat]

This per-pixel-rendering eats my computer alive - my 8800GT renders some single digit number of frames per second in this demo. I wonder what sort of GPU is needed to render it like in this movie. Fantastic (and original) production though. Good to see such quality productions still being released. Breakpoint's webcast was very entertaining too :>

[probbarn]

Deserved winner. Give's me a much better "demo-feeling" than Farbraush's demo. Which is most techincal I leave up to others.

[babayaga26]

@probbarn : couldn't agree more! Farbraush have lost the touch, great 3d, but since everyone is having babies with marching cubes these days, they have lost the race

[zilouge]

very nice demo
