some of the effects looked quite impressive, but you gotta work on your colourscheme and the music.
neat. great sync. so, where do i d/l the pills to go with it? :)
fast here on a gef3 :)
improve: some textures look a bit too simple, same goes for font.

Fantastic !!

yes...
rules definitely. kinda sluggish on my GF2 GTS/Pro, works fine and fast on the GF4 Ti4600. Technically impressive, yet lacks "something" (not sure what)... anyway, rules =)
One of the best demos for 2oo2. Fast paced with nice trance music, colors that fulfill the eye, great effects... More than solid. Flawless.
Runs kinda slow on my GF2Ti, but that's one demo worth making an upgrade for.

take the code from this demo and the colours from tpb-03 and some more prof. sounding music and you'd have a cool demo.
Definitely cool looking effects but that only doesn't make a cool demo. To put it short: Too Dutch for my taste. :)
Technically the best, a liked a lot!! Different from other 3pixels demos, frenetic rhythm and good fx. Rulez! :)
I liked it, specially the music, but it looks a little bit too "yellow" for me :)
like it a lot.
music could've used some more work, and the textures/font probably too, but all in all it feels quite good.

The green zone and the final with the cristal sphere were great
oh, and one thing: you should definitely improve your choreography, animation and camerawork.
all those scenes look a lot better on screenshots than they did in motion - which is a bad sign.

Spin, baby, spin forever...
Pretty good show. My only complaints are:
- Metaballs suck
- Music is so forgettable it actually detracts from the demo.
- ryg's dead on with the motion thing.

Looks promising, but no Geforce card here.
looked good
Cool prod. Could have used a better track though.
"Dutch Color Scheme Approved", they worked hard on that! :)
my complaints are
- ryg's point
- not enough metaballs at once
- somewhat ugly textures
- nothing special at all actually, except for pushing the fillrate and doing a lot of rtt
- lots of stuff thats similar to things i have seen in other prods
- particles without coll. det. or anything that should fake that
but i assume this is a partyhack ;)

deffo 1 of the nicest looking demo's I've seen, although not quite perfect,it still rox!!
nice work :D
nice work :D
great work, drugs suck.
this rocks!
but improve your textures...

Nice One. Just slowed down on last scenes on my p2/450+geforce256.
I think those metaballs was lovely..
some parts of the music reminded me a lot of 9 fingers...
anyways, a very enjoyable show...

cool. quite slow at few points (the music starts screeching and fps drops). also, I'd agree with the point about camerawork & scene layout. all in all, it kinda lacks something to be really trippy, but it's still nice.
with a better tune (much better) and some improved cam work, this would rule my world. i love the colorscheme
Phew! Heavy stuff, had to install DirectX 8x for that one and now my favourite demo Glon243 from Cocoon and many other older demos will not run .. ;-(((((
Else it's quite cool!
Else it's quite cool!
Rules a lot, not the type of demo that I expected, but it looks nice, and the fx are impressive.
Might be Dutch style but in my opinion it's far better than any Dutch production I've seen in the last few years.
The effects might be standard BUT.. it's worked out very well and has a great oldskool feeling
pretty mediocre actually. apart from the fact that some effects use dot3-bumpmapping there's not a whole lot going on here that hasn't been done to death already.
and those colours...well... :)

a bit long.. but great!
abus-de-blending -> it's slooooow.
Anyway really nice visuals, and good effects.

colors coming from WAYYY below the low countries (definitely not from the spaaice)
it's boring, it's ugly and it's slow

"bueno.. esos colores de coder... "

coder texture generator? :p ;) ... anyway few points of diferente between stravaganza demo with 3px prod, but results were good.

i could just say it's not "unforgettable", but let's try argumenting..
Well first things first, the music, the models and the style starts being stale, its so 90s in a way. (And not particularly enjoyable in its own style, lacking the necessary psychedelic climax and hubris that such "trance" productions convey .. not that i'm in quest for such, but let's say, it's the main interest of the style)
As for the technical aspects... it wasn't ultrafast, some scenes were displaying nice shadows and render-to-texture effects.. And I didn't notice that bump mapping .. was it in the particle scene (and is it supposed to work on anything but geforce3> grade cards?)
threepixels' output has been moderatly varied so far... next style please? ;)

Excellent excellent excellent. Although it runs a little slow on my GeForce2 MX. The only thing that bothered me was the vocal sample in the music.
I've liked this one, and expected the first prize at democompo...
No plot, no story, *just* a showoff of imposible tricks espectacular scenes and sincro.
The metaballs scene looks like too much clean,(and using a Bryce render as Cenv-map?¿) everything else, is great, and contains some of the best geometry tricks ever seen, since Poem to a Horse.
So to all the rest of people saying this sucks:
Pump up volume, view the prod, and stare, then ask yourself if any other group, nowadays can make a more cutting-edge-impressive stuff, or even yourself can? Dare!

Don't work on my GF4MX...
I think update drivers...

yes! is a good idea peke, update it! ;) hahaha, the comments are fun! "excellent, shit, improve textures, improve music, dutch colors, ugly, slow, boring, cool" X'D
Very nice. The middle part is just a little too reminiscent of 604. And a bit slow on a Tbird 1.4 with GeForce 2, in 640x480 with all the features. But I can live with it.
phoenix: it's a tribute, just as the bmapped twister (gateways/trauma). What is all the features?
Usually I like this kind of demos, but in this case it's just average. Don't ask me what's wrong with it - just personal feelings.
Some impressing scenes here. I particulary love the transition using that cube thing with glow and the scene featuring stencil shadows. The bump mapped twister looks very cool too (and they succeeded sooo well on matching trauma's one ;) ). Also radial blur and dot3 are not used cheaply.
On the bad side, I see some abuse of particles and some textures/camera movements/music parts are not at the overall quality of this demo.
Oh, and no one told about the code, and IMO its one of the best code shows seen this year.
Should have won the compo, definetly.

Ok, finally I watched this one and it surely rocks, although it really looks and sounds like the big brother of '604'. :)
not my taste of design, but it is very good synchro
code is good, scenes not very interesting, music not my taste
the cube in cube shadowed effect is very good!

m´key!
Yeah! I bought a gf2 card only to see this demo. Yes, I can see the demo now, and yes, a gf2 is not fast enough to this effects saturation :( shit I need a new card! XD
Simply spectacular XD

Too flashy! :/// Too much andy colours.

Very nice, always popular at parties.
seems to run like poo on my 9700. Needs 3da to stop stuttering, plus end twister and scene 4 run at 1fps. Putting any ATI probs aside, excellent! Great Music!
yeah not bad at all ;)
Euan: it runs perfectly on a 9700, update drivers
Nice. In few parts, in random PCs, it suddenly went too slow, bug or something?
Finally I could watch it now, great demo! For me clearly the best 3px demo so far.
crest: with the same machine?
"Now watched with a more decent card (GF2 Ti)".. ok ;)
Can this be? Has crest finally gotten rid of his TNT2? :-P
Wow, this is a really great demo =) I enjoyed the music, and the visuals are quite impressive. Great job threepixels!
trace, mot: Well, the card was damn cheap compared with Ebay and it's of coz better than the MX crap ;)
I like it even though I'm normally against drugs, imagine that.
gra3t trip!!

whee comment got lost.
anyway, resembling to 604 is good, having so much glitches is bad.

Beautiful but maybe could have had some more energy.
I forgot this one! really cool on the bigscreen on euskal10... made me believe in the scene again! \o/
Some sort of beefed up "please the cookie thing", entertaining nonetheless.
well done
thumb up for code, thumb down for design
the music<3
The colors are kinda ugly, and the music isn't the best as well. But the code is alright, and in 2002 it was a good demo.
Totally forgettable. Textbook demoscene effect after effect after effect. The colors are about the only thing original here.
Great demo. But totally uninteresting.
one of the best demos of all time. :)
Fun demo with great goa/psy vibes.
I <3 design and music
Fast food demo but nice nonetheless...
Not bad. A bit messy and I don't like trance...
Great
nice
Nice!
A very fine demo !
Not usually something I enjoy, but surprisingly well made psychedelia. Well done on most of the palettes, in making them very bright and saturated, but not garish.
Pretty cool! Apparently this has been part of a Demoscene Demo Reel at GDC 2003.
Nice demo.
Cool stuff. Nice trance music and fast-paced effects.
Just the way I like 'm
Very nice on matrox-parhelia! Thx!

Some comments about this prod:
For people that dont read error messages or readme.txt, demo requires cubemaps and DOT3, or to be clear, GForce+ or similar. TNT wont work.
Needs quite a bit of fillrate (we went a bit far in some of the particle scenes), CPU isnt so important. Very acceptable perf in a P2-400 / GF2. We got reports about not performing well in some GF2's will check it out soon.
Tested in:
nonTNL cards: not supported
GF2: Good speed.
GF4MX/GF3/ATI 8500: recommended cards (use latest drivers, specially for ATI)
GF2Go/MX: Sluggish in some transitions.
Enjoy the prod. threepixels is off to ibiza now!!!! :P. We will release a divx of this prod when we're back.
Euskal Party was fun!!!
Bye!
