@rubenzainas The point is that it is not about anything. Its art in a three dimensional form by use of a computer and physics ext. The point is to watch it and think about it, admire it, gawk at it, or be disgusted in it. Just as you would do a normal painting. Its art, its programming, its another form of interactive media (more so Linger in Shadows)
Incredible, I especially like the part with the black particles growing, and the strings building up, the the drums jump in.
It's good to know that these things are still being done, and at the technological point where they make music videos look dull in comparison.
One thing that has fell by the wayside is interactive features, if you have a PC that can run these things perfectly, then having a small game to play as part of it would be great I think.
Normally they code in C++ and openGL. It's also usually built from the ground up, engine and all. Although I remember a while back, farbrausch published a popular engine, can't remember what it's called though.
Thanks very much for the info. I'm surprised it's just that and not something more specialist, like assembler language, coding the graphics card directly!
Heck naw, I don't think anyone uses assembly level anymore, especially not given the sheer complexity of modern cpu's/gpu's. OpenGL is just a high level language that tells the gpu what to do directly. Well, I say directly but it still goes through an assembler lol.
@th3d3wd3r every software runs through assembler, sicne it's human readble form of native CPU machine code. Higher langueges like C++ is nothing more then a blueprint for compiler to build assebler code since CPUs and other hardware become so complex and variant (This also makes need for liberies and APIs like OpenGL) that machines also needed to help us code.
@ShadowriverUB I was more referring to the fact that nobody codes at assembly level anymore, I didn't mean there was no assembly level. When I learned programming is was more the engineering side of it. For that we had to create programs in assembly to run on the likes of PLCs. Nobody does that anymore, it wouldn't be practical.
Love this prod from an artistic POV. It's true that the scenes themselves aren't /that/ imagininative, but the whole thing flows together and creates a lovely mood.
Even the metaballs scene - such an old and boring effect, but in context it gives a wonderful ambience.
One of my top 5 demos of all time. While the (quite demanding) graphics are just damn hot, the music is what it makes it special in my eyes. Great Song! Even without the visual played along.

I don't get these so called demos. are they supposedly supposed to show the skill and ability of the programmer, or???
I heard that it was like, some sort of competition of who could make the most complex and advanced demo only using a few lines of code.
