Imho this was the best demo of the compo. Long and refreshing.
rulez added on the 2002-08-04 17:53:06 by dairos 
the best along with yodel's demo
should have won
rokk
i'm giving this thumb up only with limitations. i think the speech is a bit overdone, it's cool in the very beginning, but all the credits and the greetings spoken ain't good. also, the demo gets less interesting towards the end.
Very nice and cool.
Yeahhh excellent music and ther's some really nice effect like Blur ( who simulate the volumetric light ). YO i kiffe
best
rocks my voodoo5!!!!!!
I think that these Kewlers guys are very promising, but I still don´t get why they hate Mewlers.
Cool! The lighting effects are really interesting.
But the computervoice is ridiculous. Nevertheless...

good, but it feels so long, it lost it's thumb up on the way...
incredible good demo. havent seen such good demo for a very long time. i like the style, and the music rocked!
OMG!!! How could this NOT win?? kewlers style are so refreshing.
jesus f*cking christ! this just rocks. for me the best demo I have seen for years.
feels really nice and fresh. imho it's the best demo this year so far.
very nice, tho i suspect they ran out of graphics near the end ;)
^^ seconded.
More gfx would have made this look more charming, but still very neat stuff.
more overlays/backgrounds would have ruined the brilliant effects!
This demo kicked serious ass at asm02. And it even has got "Ääni" in it! :D Really a great one.
boring
I'll second Fzool's comment.
I also thought it looked very random and disorganized, and quite messy in general.

Seriously, it seems as though everyone is back this days...
Anyhoo, this demo is nicely polished but seems to lack something. Nothing overly eyecatching, and the colours, or lack thereof, didn't impress me. One thing I totally disagreed with was the voice.

absolutely awesome. i absolutely dig the music and the effects. more of that please!
Best demo at ASM02.
I haven't seen the other demos yet but this one is awesome. Stylish look, lots of interesting effects and scenes, very effective glare rendering, nice music with perfect synch.
A cople things are overdone, like the synthspeech, but still the best demo I've seen for a long while.

great work guys! effects were fresh and music was great. as i already mentioned at the party place, i would have liked to see more graphics, but this is still excellent. (you forgot to greet us. hihi :D)
This is a pleasure to watch from the very beginning to the end.
Some very good scenes, a lot of movements and shining stuff and good music.
Good work guys

This was absolutely fantastic! The music rocks, the computer voice builds up an incredible intro, and then it finishes you off with the diamond effects. Brilliant!
Excellent stuff, kicking soundtrack. Probably heavily inspired by Planet Potion. Great atmoshere, a great trip!
yep
cowabunga, this slaps the teenage mutant hero turtles, shredder and YES, even splinter the old ninja rat gets a severe beating by this.. I LOVE IT!!!
the start of the demo wasnt that promising, but it started getting better and better, until it seriously hit me at the end. great work, seriously.
Great feeling, enjoyed the lights and the effects in general.. great work!
good show ... one of the best from asm02
It should definitly be the 1st ranked in my mind. Simply great !
it´s ok.
Should have won. Nothing else to say.
This one rocked the most, yes indeed
Not bad at all, although the design is a bit dirty for my tastes it deserves the thumb up. I liked a lot the ending of this one. In the begining it is a bit boring.
Y-O-U A-R-E B-A-C-K!
fucking excellent effects.
absolutely perfect music&feeling.
should have won.
fucking excellent effects.

should have won.
Although the begining was kinda boring, I liked most effects and of course the music. Perhaps it should be ranked #1 at asm.
Damn!!!!
Wow! Thumbs up. Great music and style!
certainly the most impressive demo from this year´s assembly...
The Demo should have started right after the vocals in the beginning ;) Rocks anyway, great optique and awesome music. should have won.
Damn nice visuals and kick ass aurals. All in all a very special demo - one of the best performances this year.
infuckingcredible!
I would have liked this but directly cloning an Imatran Voima song (In/Out? for the first half) doesn't please me much no matter how much you "respect" them. (The second part of the song wasn't IVO anymore - but that certainly didn't help much in this case ;))
it's ok... nothing really great about it though. everything clean & solid, no major glitch, but nothing interesting either... that's it.
unboring, gritty, me likes
yes yes yes!
Outstanding! I dig the moire-patterns.
Vesuri: was waiting for someone to comment on the similarities.. And there are the Kraftwerk and Aphex Twin references as well; maybe someone picked them up too? Respects were really meant as they are.. anyone wishing to comment; you have my mail address. Flame away or whatever.
i forgot to mention about the impressive speed. even runs on tnt-cards.
wow...
fucking good
should have won :)
fucking good
should have won :)
and deserve an UP
Everything has been said ...
Gr8T stuff !
Gr8T stuff !
I already thumbed this up, but after watching the rest of the assembly prods, I think this one is the best by far and should have been #1.
I think this was the only good demo in the compo.
that's for sure the best demo released at asm... boombastic elektro tune, lighting fast good looking effects... wicked! wicked! wicked! Kewlers are just kewl! (oh and btw i personnally dig those vocals)
The music is pumping ! the credits part with robot voices catched me ! (hey brioche, they stole your idea ;o)
I liked the big pixels rendering in overlay ! the software rendering touch got more hype !
thumb up for Mewlers !

a bit too long and a bit too uncoloured,
but still i love this one!
but still i love this one!
in this demo was the best musix in all combined democompo. Absolutely good production.
I noticed the Aphex Twin Ventolin respect list reference in the greetings part, do I win a prize? ;)
Yeah, this is unquestionably cool. One of this year's highlights.

rulez! dope music! dope style! dope effects!
very kewl one. I could say a thing or two about the design (like the ridiculous font in the beginning), but it's got good pace and good music, that's what counts in this case.
.
I've watched most of the demos/intros of this years Assembly and this one is the one i like most. Can't say if it is better than the one from Haujobb, because - for me - it's a completly different style here. When it comes to design, i would have used that "We are BACK" more often (e.g. after the calm greetings-part, when the music start to get faster again), because it somehow adds some "dramatic feeling". A great demo!
This one had some pretty nice stuff.
my fav demo from asm... has everything i want in a demo... pumping music, nice ideas, fast code, really keeps me awake (unlike most scene prods nowadays)
iloveitiloveitiloveitiloveit.
I think this is the best demo in a year or two and it kicks ass!

The best demo at asm imo even though I really hate the voicesamples.
WEEEEEEE ARE BACK !
this is the only demo worth to remember from the compo.
should have won. excellent effects, although some seem buggy here and there :)
should have won?; incredible good demo?; absolutely fantastic?;
This is so boring. That´s all. No Ideas, just some effects. It looked very random and disorganized.

hmmm ... stunning overall design. superb production. thx
very "synthetic", too much vocoding but the rest looks great
vocoder on
you are elektronik performers!
vocoder off
i love it.. the music is just soooo sweet!

I loved this one, original design and great realization, very good :)
I love the style, the design, the music, and some great coding too, runs at a very decent speed on my TNT2. Now thats how a demo should be. A mixture of coding skills and original styles and ideas, imho.
nice one.. elektro rules
really contundent, fresh effects never seen before, cute sincronization with the music, very personal style, coherent, I liked much more and watched several times...Planet Potion inspiration?
nope. we just wanted to create a(n 'obushow') demo with elements that have something to do with interference and glitter backed up with an elektro soundtrack.
thanks for _all_ the comments, we'll produce something different next time.
thanks for _all_ the comments, we'll produce something different next time.
seen it again, and going to give some more comments
- Kudos to the artist/designer for making the interference/color palette used so stylish. It creates a kind of a dark/technologic mood that i've seen in very few demos
- Music is brilliant and allows some excellent synchronization
- Demo is long, and manages to have long parts that don't get boring, we are still trying to achieve this ;)
- Code has some cool effects
- I like the synth voices
- Overall, one of the best (if not the best) demo this year.

simply great - i love this style!
My favourite demo @ assembly'02. Didn't Haujobb boys say something "the Kewlers should have won" or something like that? err.. anyway, a great demo.
Well, droid/hjb said something about the moral winners of the compo, but as i said before, i say it again, haujobb won fair and square. Their demo just simply was more beautiful, and it had some treu 3d scenes instead of plain 3d objects etc.
As for the rest of the comments, thank you for the pos. and neg. feedback. This was an attempt to make something more mainstream than usual, but still keeping it "kewl" :D. Next up is coming something completely different.

why didn't this win? =)
feels quite different than most other demos of today.. has a nice feeling to it..
and yes, haujobb did have a nice demo this time, but it looks just like the rest of their productions. I liked this one much better.

with Haujobb and Da Jormas demos totally rock the ASM02 democompo...very good synching with awesome sound (like this MF+LB Kraftwerk way)...total stunning older effects like jizzblobs in new original graphic coat........Roxxx, roxx, roxxx !!!!!!
lovely, lovely.
good music and graphics. the scenes really have that electro feel :)

they are very good.
Smooth and stylish demo, /me liked a lot although there was too much numedia effects for my taste.
*pow*
I hated the speech synth stuff, but otherwise this was quite nice looking piece. It did screw up my machine really bad after running, but that's probably caused by my video drivers..
The best demo from asm.
sounds like imatran voima yes.
and i noticed the kraftwerk shiet lääh lääh sampling from tour de france free beer to me thanks.
cool demo btw. my favourite from this years asm btw.

Yeaaaah!
Absolutely amazing!! Definately the real #1 in asm02. The music is unbelievable. Big Thumbs Up. Vocoder: W-e a-r-e t-h-a-n-k-f-u-l.
Best demo I've seen in a while. Such a kewl style. =]
Crank the amp and turn out the lights.
Speaking the greets detracted from it a bit, but overall it just kicks - should have won asm. (Furthermore, I wish I was there to watch it.)
Damn, that music is catchy.

ROX ROX ROX ROX ROX ROX ROX
The best demo i´ve seen this year. Nice effects, music, gfx... it rocks! it´s kewl! and it should have won!
i feel that the scene with the morphing object in front of the light will become famous in demohistory :{D
rocks
very appealing.
a kind of drug, i had the urge to watch it daily since assembly.
it has its clever way of using opengl to create coherent visuals..
very dense soundtrack switching from time to time from electro to psytrance. graphics are styled ..
definitely not a cliche, just a mature demo defining its style..
-- for the idm touch at the end still i liked it the first times.
probably one of the best demos of the year.

Next chance in Germany to view this demo on a big screen is Evoke 2k2, so just come :)
nice vocoded samples. kewl code indeed. nice feeling and moreover elektro roolz the world! it's simply catchy...
Really entertaining, and very pretty. Should've won, IMO.
Yep, this is a REAL demo
Once again my preferred demo pushers did it the good way! Respect.
what more do you want...
lovely
One of the best of what I have seen.

I know I can't vote again, but this demo is just not like the others, I still watch it regularly, and it's always with the same pleasure !Great great work !
Really enjoyfull! I guess that robotic voices idea worked very well in here...
nice music with a funny voice backup and stylish presentation which @ places looks like the 3d accelerator is doing something wrong but the positive way! =)
Worth checking out!

novative effects and design
the music is good and the voices gives a style
(but voices are too much like the program 'say' from Amiga500 wich speak the words you type by keys ;] )
it's not oldschool, not newschool, it's nextschool !!!

I usually don't comment the other's prods, but this one deserved my congratulations.
The best demo I've seen for many time, it's somewhat linked to the past but also showing us a bright future.
I hope kewlers keep coming back again, again and again, rocking the scene with prods like this.
You rule.

Can't add anything to what has already been written. I'll just give it the thumb!
it's just so great, but i needed the newest radeon-drivers to notice that. before i installed the drivers i looked quite crappy in some parts and i couldn't understand we ppl liked it so much. but now i'm a believer :)
hey, i really love this piece! very good work guys. one of the kewlest!

the only 'real demo' at assembly 2002.
Absolutely the best demo at Assembly 2002. Absolutely the best demo of this year. Absolutely the best demo in many years! Very polished with good design. Respect.
WORLD'S BEST!
best demo of assembly 2002. the music is fucking awesome and the whole look and feel is really really really cool.
excelent demo!
Just my thumb up
feels great.
Very tight design, every part is coordinated. The music kicks. But the strobe flashes and camera changes to every beat get rather annoying. What does it say after the greetings? something something starts next door?
i think it says 'macrocreations are starting next door'
to me it sounds more like "the real james bond is roger moore"
lewr;we; arte thje cbnest thad,mn demo crew wver!
and for those of you who can't read drunkish he said:
kewlers are the best damn demo crew ever.

Rocks! A lot. Nothing more to say, watch it!
Thumbs up for this one!! Veryyyyyyy nice!
I want more. The tune is fucking brilliant.
Great demo!
Energetic electro music.

very good stuff for sure! in terms of atmosphere and originality i prefer tripfish 2 though.
yup
<^|||||||^> kusma: you'll just have to figure out the right combination of keys to be pushed simultaniously, 'cause there's actually a secret mode made just for you in the demo :D

One of the best from asm02.
beautifull effects
There's just something about this thing... It's grown on me... Great
Cool demo. (and i like the voice too) Synchronization is great.
One of my favorites.
yummy... =)
The music is so amazing, I can't stop listening. :-D
gooood! i almost thought nowadays demos are going to ass, but this is very nice surprise. fresh as concentrated orange juice and so interesting and attention-keepin', even tho longer that others. fine piece of ass. kewlers guys, it seems you've found a receipt to give pc demos second breath. keep a mice work
definitely the best electro demo. the voice reminds me of lfo. anyhow, good music, fresh feeling, quite trippy well-coded effects, nice color scheme, good 2d art, design, etc. what more is there?
oops, there ya go.
whoa. I love the lightning effects!
good demo it is, a solid production i will never delete from my harddisk. second part after the greetings is where it starts to kick really hard.. my only wish is the muzik, no, not that it was bad, it was nice, well done electro tune but i feel like it could've been even better .)
reall good and original effects!
one of the best pc demos for a long time.
amazing. totally. i love the whole style of it.
stylish
The Best :) Rocks!!!! More of this in the Future Please :) *fallen in Love* ;)
Variform OWNS me
This has grown on me a lot. I'm not keen on the gfx style, but it's a pretty good demo overall. I was too hasty to thumb it down.
stylish. though it wouldn't require a geforce-2. an amiga with 060 would be enough. but whatever. we're in 2002. ruler stuff.
Great visuals and the demo would have been a rock-solid performance if it wasn't for the crappy elektrobeat the soundtrack had. Otherwise the music kicked, but the beat just plain sucked.
Music isn't my personal cup, but it damn rocks on loud sound systems (like Breakpoint's one). The demo has style, but i usually loose focus in the last minutes : a little too long and always the same. Great demo anyway ! Very nice work in term of design and flow.
Kootal, HERETIC! I sentence thee to eternal life!
But at a very boring place.
The music in variform simply si teh rox.

goddamn this piece rules so much! i almost jerked off when i heard the music the first time, 1000 thumbs up (mygodthemusic...mygodthemusic...mygodthemusic...mygodthemusic...mygodthemusic...mygodthemusic.......)
i like the effect in this démo.
a very good demonstration
a very good demonstration
Nice, consistent atmosphere. Great prod.
Well, the first few minutes were dominated by cold colours, boring effects and lack of a consistent theme. But the demo became decent after the greetings were displayed - especially because the colours became sensible.
Respect
*K*e*w*l*e*r*s*
*K*e*w*l*e*r*s*
Perfect sync with one of the best soundtracks I've heard in years... I show all my friends this one, and my oldschool b-boy friends especially go crazy over the music. Effects are also well-executed and continue to build and build throughout. I like the voice at the beginning, although the voice used for the greets could use some tweaking. Definitely deserving of the awards its received -- it's a crowd-pleaser that respects demo roots.
Few beats after the vocoder introduction, you know that those guys are masters of black art coding, graphics & music. Demo of mass-destruction.
P.S. I like the effect of constantly exploding surfaces, with the stylish guy in the background.

#1 in my mind, not #3
Kewlers rock.
Kewlers Rock !!
great show
it was ok i guess
didn't see anything so fantastic in this demo, it's just "ok"
weeee!
Ok, nothing real special. I do not keen on techno atmosphere, since that for me it's "just" very good.
how come I didn't comment this masterpiece yet ?
absolutely awesome stuff (especially the beginning) and very creative effects. could have been a bit shorter, but so what.

well, this is a pretty great demo, good tune, good gfx, good effects, but it somehow fails to hit my sweet spot.

Everytime a good demo. Men, I love the music!
K-E-W-L-E-R-Z
YES! Kewlers are back!
Excellent prod with extremelty f**ing good sync for a mp3 stream! Tecnicaly also simple, but quit impresive. A must have for my taste ;)
this, my friends, is what I call a classic.
Good solid stuff. Speech synth. feld a bit annoying at the party place though (after watching a punch of productions with same kind of stuff)
Speech whaa?
nice
One of the best prods of 2002. I want a version without the ugly per-vertex artifacts! :-)
beautiful and stylish
Each time I watch that demo I get more and more sourprised. Music is fucking great!
Again... Enhorabuena!!!!
Again... Enhorabuena!!!!
rulez rulez... fantastic!
Music _rulez_
"we are ....... BACK " thingie is fucking cool !
cool shit.
This demos was great - the music was awesome and shit, I liked the voices a lot.
At the same time, I do get bored with floating blobs even if they do have sweet effects added on - we've seen so many floating blobs for so many years.. But Kewlers still manages to keep it interesting with a fast pace, great music, and great flow.

OMFG! This is fucking cool! its one of my all time favourites. i can watch it several times a day :). the perfect newskool demo!
cool!
good looking
What, I haven't commented on this yet? Coder porn. And the music is excellent. And the synch. And the color scheme. And everything else, really.
A nice piece of work. Cool music and some nice code - put together in an interesting way.
yeah, that's typical for me... even didn't vote for my cdc demo
Bloody good music.
i haven't vote for this??? 8-0
First time i hate it really. boring, shit music, lame effects...
today i think different. stylish, good music and lame effects :)))))))

Agreed. .. best demo ever.
everything has been said about this one..

otherwise, would be good. graphics rulez especially

Thank you for the Mac version, too.
Technically maybe not too impressive, but kicks ass. One of my favourites...
The Mac version is here.. big up to Scoopr for the port.
I haven't seen this yet but it looks really good!
Goddamn, this is NICE!
just jo!
Cool demo. Good design & FX. Music is great.
whatever this is... it is cool :)
I have never understanded the extreme hype about this, but thumbs up for the demo, but its not THAT extreme
the mac-version does not work in tiger (10.4)!
kewl
deck. deck. deck.
Good demo. Best effect was the crystal/caleidoscope/glittering 3D after the greetings. Sync with music was good too.
Only bad part was that it contained metaballs which I _hate_ :o).

Great demo! and the music is fantastic. this is one of thoose demos you just cant escape, i watch it offten
yeah!
Very cool looking with nice sound and effects. And it works great as a benchmark of pre-shader video cards.
Possibly the best demo I've seen on the mac.
super
And here's the Linux port:
http://ftp.kameli.net/pub/fit/ports/kewlews-variform.linux.tar.gz
http://ftp.kameli.net/pub/fit/ports/kewlews-variform.linux.tar.gz
Whoops... the correct URL is of course:
http://ftp.kameli.net/pub/fit/ports/kewlers-variform.linux.tar.gz
http://ftp.kameli.net/pub/fit/ports/kewlers-variform.linux.tar.gz
It often happens this way: at first, it seems to me that it's just another demo with weird design and half-pleasant music. Then something switches on and I just realize that I'm actually watching and enjoying an awsome piece of art, with much personnality and atmosphere in it. Variform exactly matches these words.
:D
"you've experienced ... one of the greatest demos ever!"
just gave the mac port a shot to relive the pc experience and it hit me like it did the first time :) .

A big hit, no shadow of a doubt.....
a winner :)
not quite sure the last graphic (on screen too long?), and the speech approach was different... hm. But no.. to die for transitions, lovely fx.. rocks!

One of the bestest demos evar!
a couple of years ago, it was demo that could arise some fetishes. now i have a complete variform fetish that needs to be fed time to time.
Seeing it for the first time on the big screen was an absolute blast, First appearance of the glow utilised to this diamond-like impression and it's beautiful. Still my favourite from kewlers. Nothing from them has made a comparable impression since even though I have high regard for lots of their stuff.
WTF! I know I already commented on this.. ok. It RULES!
perfect..

Music rocks, the rest is utterly boring...
hmm... part just after greetz with music + black-cubes--tunnel is nice, rest is not that cool... i still prefers light effects from thelaw/powerline or mental/push
Music is one of the best ever... but I like the interferences, too. Check out the remixes-Soundcollection released a few days ago ;)
very good design, doesn't pretend to be something it's not. design at (almost) its best. well composed music. aeaeni <3
Great demo!
One of the best PC demos ever
nice effects, too repetitive
good music... still overrated
Kick Ass Music, but the rest, little repetitive and boring :)
nice
good stuff!
veryy good.
We Are Back . ^^
We Are Back . ^^
It's cool, but I don't like the music. Speech synthi rocks though.
great
Just shows how much really good music will lift a demo.
First I thought it's completely overrated but it's not. Cool, great, just fine.
Stingray : I'm really disappointed with you saying the effects are boring.. what with the light behind the object and the great gridexpander deforming rounded spikeball? :) This demo is teh shit. even has this thing with people that look normal overlays.
excellent music and entertaining demo
Loady: Well, tastes differ. :) But I will watch it again today, maybe I then even find something here that is not boring. :D
haven't commented this yet?
btw, awesome
btw, awesome
You gotta love it... Godlike!
Very Nice! :)

i haven't thumbed this?? i love this one!
Linux version bugs:
Code:
freeglut ERROR: Function <glutSolidCube> called without first calling 'glutInit'.
Recompile your kernel.
Call glutInit first.
i take back my words. i've lately actually started to like this more and more.

hyhy.
ok here's your rulez - only for macos port.
Just rulez.
Nice Mac Port. really a shining light on my mac.
fucking great! Awsume Music makes this demo fantastic.
now that is lush.
one of the very best demos ever
Maybe its because this demo is already 4 years old but what I saw I found ugly..
Sorry.. :(
Sorry.. :(
heh... elektra
Jeu. This IS actually Variform. Before I got into the scene again after 13 years of nitty gritty punk rock I was warned about this one. And I kinda like it. And I didn't expect to. Mainly because of the music. Which is cool. So here's my thumb.
LFO - WE ARE BACK! ;)) (yes iam fucking lamer becoz i found this out now)
Best demo ever ....
I watch this a couple of time ago but it's always a new experience
I watch this a couple of time ago but it's always a new experience
At first I was very skeptical to this demo. Actually I didn't like it. But it has some strange force which makes me watch it over and over again. And after every watch I like it more and more. Thumb Up!
They are indeed back. Lovely.
nice. cool lightning effects and good music. the speech voices rocks!
For this error in Linux,
use glut and not freeglut. fixed it for me.

this is hard to judge.. the soundtrack has it's moments, but the sounds could've been mixed a bit better to avoid the dry lead sounds. some scenes were pretty fantastic, and others just quite bland imo.. but i suppose i'm comparing this to the later kewlers (and mfx) demos way too much. nice heads :P anyway, a piggie it is.
nice
this is classic :)
kewlers rulaz!
Good shapes, lightning and speech
It has some really nice effects – and after hearing it nearly every day for several years I would say I love the sound track. All together it is clearly a very good demo – therefore Thumb Up!
Amazing tune and great visuals :)
WTF!? No thumb on this one!? :|
There are weeks when I watch this once a day...
There are weeks when I watch this once a day...
This shit deserves to be in the all time top 10 way more than some FR prods imho. Rocks.
Far out! One of my fave top10, still... watching it makes me wish Kewlers back into it!
what a tune man
Classic.
oh there's a mac port, didn't notice til now 
I haven't commented on this demo before, so I thought this would be a good thing to do, but first I wanted to check out the demo again, but the linux port crashed badly after the credits, so piggie until video arrives.
Somebody set up us the bomb
kewlers! come back now!
Just to vote for this epic classic...
VERY fucking cool!!
Really loved this production!

Music rulez, mmmmh. If I could compose that kind of music. Too bad I cannot compose any music :-/
Owns.
awesome music, hypnotizing demo, a classic for sure and why havent i thumbed this up ages ago
totally stunning show. got that wibe i like.
What everyone said!
What everyone said!
doesn't work (vista32)
Classic
@Khron: The fact that it doesn't work on vista is actually worth an extra thumb up.
good demo but i think it's overrated.
doesn't work (win 3.1)
didn´t like it back then and still don´t today. i am sorry. it just pisses me off. it gets on my nerves.
now i'm absolutely sure i thumbed this one up before? is something wrong with the db? or just with my head?
anyway: rocks! esp the track and the nice 'brilliance' effect on the polys.

the linux port fucked my system... :(
x_X: the sound was garbled on my system. ALSA's OSS emulation apparently sucks ass.
classic!
runs smooth on the Power Mac G4 with OSX, btw

Kewl!
7 years later I found out the greets are ripped from Aphex Twin's crowsmengegus mix.
wow I have never thumbed this!? weird.
Well, very OOOk, never had a occasion to tumb this up so there it goes. Nice prod!
pepto, you didn't thumb up. :)
I suck, because I don't like this.
Freaky, and i just love these moire-effects.
Classic newshool shit. SOLID
this is great stuff! do we get an hires-intel-version of this great AAA-Demo ?
aw yeah.
can't be that i never thumbed this?!
ok.
i must concede
Excellent music. Rather nice GFX.
great
The drop-off of intensity for the greetings part is so well done, and that segue into the last third is brilliant.
Lovely
epic
I love the Mac port! Thanks!
Can't run the Linux port, still, rocks!
Do we like disco? We do like.
Absolutey great demo with great soundtrack!
Ripped a highres yt video
max quality scaled to 720p for a bit better viewing experience on youtube.

Just experienced it again. Especially love the shiny second part. Legendary soundtrack.
almost 10 years old, watched it dozens and dozens of times now, and it never fails to impress me...
Music is rocking!
Awesome!
What noname said.
Huh what, no thumb yet?
╭Ⴖ╮
Ahhh.....
it is goooooood..
It's LE good!
And working on my lovely iBook G4 12" :')
And working on my lovely iBook G4 12" :')
Long overdue thumb here. Used to think this is vastly overrated, bad even, but I think everyone's first impression of this is that they either love or hate it. Kewlers have always been good, and always will be. Even though this is a rather traditional in style, there are all sorts of little details on how the objects move, rotate, and behave in general. Same think with the camera paths. Color scheme could be improved a bit maybe, and as of now it is a bit dull and monotonous but the visual impression is still very good. I don't think I can say anything more about the music, it's a classic. In short, the pinnacle of demos of this style.
<3
the tune aged much better than the visualz, tho
how could i not thumb this
A little of what Mentor said ... but still a thumb for the huge amount of work this must have been :)
How can I not give a thumb up if a demo and its music resides for such a long time in my playlists :)?
Hmpf... forgot the thumb up...
10 years later, and still going strong!
Heres my thumb... Great demo!
Fix for the linux version:
download the old version of glut from here: http://archive.debian.net/woody/i386/glutg3/download
unpack the libglut .so files and place them in the variform_linux directory

you'd be stupid not to check this out.
Rocks hard.
Variform 2 much better.
Still nice
Late thumb up if there ever was one, damn..
Easily one of the best GPU accelerated demos released on our planet earth after 1995.
You should definitely come back!
You should definitely come back!
Stylin' and kickin'
thx for mac.. but.. sadly not intel macs :(
12 years old and still rocks! The music is awesome and the demo is a pleasure to watch.
Seems overrated. Don't like this kind of stuff - black and white, noise and boring.
Best demo in Assembly 2002! but third...
Stone
Cold
Classic

even this polish pole (even though it's made in helsinki) agrees: variform rules hard.
Brilliant demo. Kudos for OSX and Linux versions
Still a cool demo, but I think it didn't age too well when compared to other demos from that era. Soundtrack still kicks ass, though.
Captain Jack :D
That feeling when eight years after the release of this gem you find out great motivation push inside - one of the demos responsible for my comeback.
I hope Kewlers will come back too.

I have to vote this up, at least for the music. :) The visuals are nice, if not spectacular these days, but probably rocked then.
yes :)
How could I not thumb up this yet?
+
not bad. never understood the huge hype around it, probably the music, which is indeed really nice? ;)
just incredible!@ awsum AWSUM DAT MUSIC and really solid and even now good looking design =)
THE WORLD NEEDS VARIFORM 4! Lovely music by the way ;)
