this is a masterpiece beyond words. but can people stop simulating growth soon ? EVERY demo the last 5 years (atleast) has the usual growing plant or whatever. its getting old. but i have to say it again, this is an absolute masterpiece !
This is for demoscene, as Kubrick´s "2001: Space Oddyssey" for movies. The big next step: when demos started to say a something. One of my favorites, indeed.
This is by far the best demo i've seen till now. Superb score, beautiful graphics, seemless and chilling flow. Leaves less to improve for a long time to come!
Nice Nice Video. I really loved your video. Youtube can be a great asset for you. If you need any help getting your video exposed, check out this site called tubeviews [dot net] It has really done wonders for me, I have built 3 Channels up with videos at top in position and this is my forth channel i'm going to working on.
Hello peeps, this is aMUSiC from ASD (one of the two group musicians). Thank you for your comments and for embracing this demo. Now as others have indicated, download this and run it on your pc. However, if you can't run it, someone has uploaded an HD youtube version. Use this id: P0OfkJc711A and select "Watch in HD". It's the highest quality version so far on youtube.
Finally!!! ATi released 8.12 catalyst... and FINALLY this works on my HD3870!!! I'd seen it on a 7900GT before... but at 1680x1050 on a HD3870, it blew me sideways! cracking :D
I 've run the demo on my computer and it's far better than the actual vidéo posted on youtube...Quality is not the same..It's obvious when you see it on computer ^^
It's the best Demo I've seen in my life....Not only for graphisme but also for the music..totally amazing!
It's good that this is here, but if you can, do yourself a favor: DON'T WATCH IT. Run the actual demo itself on a modern computer with a good GFX card and a good set of speakers. IMHO this is the best demo that has ever been created. It helped me through some tough times. Long way from copperbars and sine scrollers, I tell you what.
I remember when I watched this first time, avi version due to sucky pc. On ASD logo tears started to drop, on color bars my blood pressure accelerated, in the bathroom my life has changed, at the moon scene I died as a man with fullfilled life.
just run this now 1680 x 1050 and oh my. This is the first time i have acually seen my LG monitor actually light up like that. Was amazing to watch and was incredibly smooth all the way through. Bravo on this one.
Im a graphics programmer, and I just dont get the demo scene. This is really just a music video(which is fine). Why not make it into a game, and then its interactive for the viewer. It looks like Papaton stole the look of this demo, and made a game, and then made money off it.
amd thats why you will get a job making shitty gfx for some shitty game.
the ppl who make these demo's do it for nothing, and more than likely have never ever had any training in how it's done. they learnt everything themselves. no college, no uni...
It is actually very surprising (and interesting) to me that you are even a computer graphics programmers and you don't get the demoscene. I mean, I have met people who could understand the technical properties of a demo but they couldn't get the reason and they were linux geeks or people who studied programming, not just some games who wonder why it's not playable. And now someone who even understands graphics programming? Maybe the greatest thing with demos is that they are meaningless :)
The scene moved from an underground based community to a large sphere of good prod makers...I have to disagree with you when you say that demos are meaningless.
They actually mean a lot...it is an aesthetic experience, which can even reach the deepest emotions.
At first it looked like it was just going to be random shiny objects and boring music, like most PC demos these days, but this is actually really good. I like it.
Yes the quality isn't very good. Sorry about that. This was captured from a wmv-stream that one finnish cable operator streamed from assembly on their site. Not to mention the stream was filmed from the screen.
Assembly crew should really but more effort on the streaming next time. In 07 threir own live stream from the party was very unstable. And why they record the live video by camcorder and stream that. Why can't they stream the video from the line directly?
I heard this is the demo that won. Too bad it didn't run on my machines (as one is a Mac and the other didn't support certain things this demo wants). Still this demo is wonderful and deserves my deepest respect.
The quality of this YouTube video is pretty bad, just download the AVI version from Pouët. The demo itself is very nice, the level of detail is amazing and it's very polished. I like it!
No way. I was just watching the bit with th smoke around 6:18, an most youtube stuff goes very blocky around then. Visually, this is the vest version so far.
However, if you were talking about audio, then I must agree.
Nice to see the scene progressing. Quite some humourous moments there. The trees growing and branches from fingers I inserted in the human mastermind about half a year ago. I myself was inspired by the song "walking tree" by kailash kokopelli. Dreams are dreamt and depending on individuals some of them are made manifest in our reality. The golden reliefs was really neat.
The binaries of this demo and a better quality video of it running (remember that this is realtime rendering, not animation ;) are available at scene org
You idiots really think this is good? wtf is good with this piece of shit? Is this some kind of joke or is this garbage just a poorly designed platitude? It this what the demo scene has come to. Really sad ...
I feel sad for you, little ignorant boy. This is the best demo i have ever seen - maybe not technically, but design, atmosphere, feeling, and the overall message in it. ASD did an amazing job here.
First, try to understand what a demoscene is, don't post stupid comments without knowing what's the video all about.
The demoscene is a computer art subculture produces demos, audio-visual presentations, which are run real-time on a computer. The goal of a demo is to show off better programming, artistic and musical skills than other demogroups. LifeForce, by ASD won the 2007 Assembly (a big demoscene event) Combined Demo award.
You have no clue about the demo scene. This is live computation on bit level. My deepest respect to the editor crew and I'm proud of a mankind where people gain such knowledge. And you are an idiot.
