Phong shading makes it good!
added on the 2000-09-17 00:24:14 by w0N6F3iHuN6 
My favoritest demo from Valhalla! Great 3d algos like phong shading, a 3d stonehenge with flare effects and especially that great mirrored and bump mapped crystal sphere at the screenshot!
I love very much the music from Big Jim too..

Phong shading is beautiful.

yeah!
well, it's not phong shading you poor fools...
It's just plain-out-of-the-box-ordinary-vanilla environment mapping. And tha lens-flare's fake to (it doesn't get affected when occluded by other objects) but well, hey...
THUMBS UP!

don't you read the paper? everything is fake, but valhalla is still valhalla. :)
Divine music and divine env-mapped fake phong stone (not to mention the reflections).
no choice, another thumb up
Excellent demo with excellent music as usual with Valhalla :)
Great piece of code. Envmapping to the max
A Classic!
Great use of 13h colors, quick routines and cute harmonious music.
This is beauty.

...hint: the soundtrack is in the file SOLSTICE.MOO (wich is a mod) and contains the greetings of Big Jim, the composer :)
not really my cup of tea, but a nice piece of code/music/design.
The bump-mapped objects rocked!
Solid demo for its time.
i loved it at the time, the music was really good. i'm pretty sure i wouldn't like it much anymore. :)
Good job.
nice demo.
Nice.
I really loved this back in the days. Great demo, and wonderful music.
Great coup de cour
totally forgot that this thing even existed..
Old-skool soft rendering like in this demo can be much more tasteful than modern shader v 42 GFX.
Valhalla
Damn, haven't commented yet. A great demo with some really lurvly music.
i loved it
definitively a coup de cour!
ahhhh... good old days... I better don't watch it again and keep it in my mind as I remember it :)
What can I say.. a classic.
Nice visuals and very suitable music
Never watched this before! Really great for its time!
The music was sooooo cool. The graphics were really neat (good object normals). Me like. :)
A worthy choice for the pouet CDC.
Crashes everytime at Valhalla Screen even with DOSBox
dunno when I watched this.. really impressive.
@Unkown: It works for me in DOSBox 0.70. So there is no real reason thumbing it down.. :)
Thumbing something down because you can't get it to work in an emulator must be the epitome of lameness.
Unknown: did it occur to you that YOU might have done something wrong?
Ah, Wired '95 ... why have I missed thumbing this up yet?
Reminds me of someone giving one star at Nectarine for a tune because he didn't know how to play a .mod
\o/
Good code and music.

a shining moment from the old britscene. mostly a show of 3d effects (but hey, bump map with reflection was great for '95), but the music is uplifting, the transitions are good, and some 2d fakemode is thrown in for good measure. so why the hell would you thumb this down if you can't get it to work in an emulator?
The Farnar/Nostalgia mentioned in the .nfo file should actually be Farang/Nostalgia, but I'm gonna thumb it up anyhow :-)
Solid multipart demo and the .mod is so cool
btw works fine with Dosbox 0.7

I cant believe I never saw this. Classic.
Ooh, this was pretty cool IIRC. How come I haven't thumbed this up yet...
nice one and VALHALLA : )
for old memories...
i wonder why it's cdc... but still rocks :)
hadn't voted :)
nice and enjoyable!
The fakemode plasma and environment mapped objects are gorgeous. The other parts aren't of the same quality, but the excellent soundtrack helps bring up the overall quality of the demo.
one of the first demo i saw :)
great soundtrack and nice effects
Great demo. Very good sound
simple fx used best
Nice envy-map, fake-truecolor, great music
missing thumb
Still stands up quite well today, the polar effects are particularly nice.
Good one!
The music really helps elevate this above other prods at the time. Kudos to Big Jim.
yes
Cool.
a bit onedimensional contentwise but obviously good code (though i just hate the shaky cams in the beginning, prolly the precision issue)
From 1995... I don't know when exactly I saw it the first time, must've been in my teens...I was discovering demos.
I'm 29 now.
Could not know that today it would give me the chills...still.
Thank you.
I'd love to see a win2 port.
Memories.

slick stuff O_O
Some pretty hardcore stuff for '95. :)
Year is 2014 and this one still holds in my long term memories :)
not bad, music is average but some of the effects make up for that.
Yes, this prod rulez.
I's been 21 years since this demo was relased.
And still kicking! Especially music!

I totally missed this for 21 years, so here is thumb.
Very good technology, even impressive for it's time, but together with soundtrack does not build a complete idea.
Nice demo
neat one, and the music is more than awesome :)
everything I hate about demos of the period but god damn is it great
Good music. Nice effects.
