note, it's geforce+ only..

Great beginning with goodlooking 3d scene + eye....those had good framerate, but then I think the demo dies with some effects that doesnt look any good and has worser framerate than that goodlooking stuff in the beginning.
Uh...I'm not sure, but isn't that eye a 1:1 copy from the VIP2 eye (with better textures)?
Apart from that, it's not very inspired stuff. There's plenty of poly-pumping, but it's not a real kicker.

shifter: no, the eye is actually a just a higher poly version of the girl's face, not a copy.
this demo is nvidia only for now im afraid, maybe the final will be different. =)

Smash: Ain`t you a musician? :)
dammit Smash, they found you out, you should know secrets dont last long.
not able to watch the demo tho, no geforce
;P

did you british guys have a safe trip home from hamburg?
nice code, nice music and nice gfx.
Nice demo, one of my preferred mekka prod...
this one is good :)
hey, this is nice, i like it!!
after the demoshow i was sure this would be top3 but now i think it´s more like okay.
now this bad mutha has definitely put my puny config to shame.. even my trusty gf3 was choking at 5fps at some moments! I wonder what it was coded on, some hi-end sgi workstation, tucked deep in smash's garage? 8)
lotsa eye candy, nice 3d (the girl smells of poser a little, but I don't mind), good romantic tune. the 'big city girl dreams of nature'-theme may be a bit tired and wussy, but this one's still an acihevement, I'd say.

a lot of people have moaned about the speed, so let me explain a bit =)
the 3d engine with all realtime light and shadows that you see in the first part should be pretty fast on a gf2 and a reasonable cpu. but some of the fx, especially when the crossfades are on, are a bit slow. the environment map bumpmapping for example is really slow. =)
sorry, sorry. i really should have optimised some fx more. maybe for final you'll see a massive speed injection :D
ohyeh. the modelling did not use poser, just to set that straight. just a good 3d artist =)

no poser there, all done from scratch from a single polygon, maybe the reason it looks like a poser model is that she has big tits! i think :)
One of the finest demo for a long time. Should have deserved much higher place - this demo beats any haujobb production any day but still placed 8th after that channel made it to 4th.
Good.
this is actually quite nice. definitely the best fairlight demo i've ever seen. should have placed better.
i could only watch this in a window.

suicide: no.. in fact I found her face a bit poser-like 8) but I don't care really
Bhead> maybe you think everyone rips because t-rex does?
I liked it. alot..
Nice to see a prod that really pushes the envelope. But this really brought my Geforce 2Ti to its knees... It is beautiful nevertheless and the music too!
hangs at the scene on the screenshot, both in fullscreen and windowed mode. amd1ghz/640mb/gforce
stefan> go jerk off another 'misfit' or something.. prick..
bhead> feeling offended? :)
well its a well known truth so stfup

nice!
nothing more to say!
and some rather new and very well done fx-ideas!

you rulez !!!!!
The music is great, The beginning is really nice-looking, but quality is lowering when getting at the end of the demo ... but a good prod. nevertheless ! :)
The part with the walking girl is really cool! She looks and moves quite convincingly. Some of the other bits are good too, but I couldn't see an obvious connection between scenes. Just sort of a mish-mash of ideas. But thumbs up for the chick!!!
Very good, definitly deserved a better placing.
Frame rate, Ouch! But nice models and textures
Crashes hard at the intro part w/ the girl walking. Ath1.4, 512mb, GF2Pro, Win98.. v22.50 drivers not new enough for you? (still using em cuz they're the fastest in win9x)
cool prods.
good music and some effects.
it rox!!

i really should bugfix this =)
has anyone actually got it working properly, fullscreen, in winxp? ive heard it works in windowed mode.. but ive been unable to test it at all yet.
really dont know about the crash on yours phoenix, its always worked on 98 as far as i can tell.. maybe it is the drivers.
send bugreports to smaash@yahoo.com please and i'll try to fix it =)

This is pretty good. Too bad my computer didn't seem to be powerful enough to run it (900MHz duron, gf2, 256Mb). The animation (of the girl) looks very nice and music is good.
Great demo!
nice gfx, nice music, nice (but slow :) code.
most parts run at full framerate on my setup (which quite frankly is the only setup I care about :), except for the scene when there are some 3d-stash behind the teared painting of some mountain-landscape. On the other hand, that scene runs at maybe 3fps or something.
Setup: Athlon1200/Gf2Ti64mb/384mbRAM/win98se/dx8.1
Thumb down: will come if not running in full framerate in the final version ;)

excellent code (except the embm part which runs at 5 fps), great gfx, great music...
why wasn't it ranked in the top3?

Looks a little bit rough in places, but on the whole, a magnificent demo.
I especially like the opening sequence, which seemed quite reminiscent of the Silent Hill games. I'd love to see this style developed further.
Definitely deserved to place higher...much higher.

Compatibility problems? Heck, it even runs in Linux here ;-) Very nice and "soft" look at places, and most of the parts fit well into the `dream' setting. Could have used better graphics (the landscape, for instance, just isn't very pretty) and perhaps music at times, and the framerate definitely needs improving -- but overall, a very convincing production.
The eye part reminds me of the scene in Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within. :)
There's a tiny bug... sometimes it won't start right away... starting a few times usually fixes it, or running another demo first...
But well, when it runs, it rocks me :)
The music is incredible, it touches me in a way, and the scenes fit the music nicely... I especially like the sun-part that is also shown in the screenshot.
The part where the woman walks on water(?) is also great.
And well, something just happens when the girl says "If you can see it in front of you, why not?"... Dunno :)
Rulez!

hmm it say it cant find a lot of texture and close the app.. i unzipped the file in a directory... normal?
Great demo.
Absolutely amazing music by Bliss.

Hey, were is my comment? I forgot that!
This is a very favorite demo of mine. Negative is that in 1 or 2 moments the demo goes really slow for some weird reasons :(
Beautifull demo! I have put the music in my MP3 folder, listening to it many times..
Fairlight are my favorite now!

fabulous textures & modelling. the first scene absolutely rocks, i haven't seen anything that realistic in quite some time. one thing puzzled me... is the girl supposed to walk through walls, or is that a bug? :)
the rest is nice too, except for the framerate drop that occurs even on a GF4.
i also like the music a lot.

nice.sweet soundtrack
Excellent music. Even thought it seems to be a bit slow, it has a nice feeling.
Now that I upgraded my NVidia drivers, I can *finally* watch this thing! Nice, soothing visuals and music. But, never, NEVER, end a demo with a still picture! (unless it has your group name or says The End or something :) A few parts were a bit slow on my Athlon1400/GF2, but oh well.
Argh, where is the final version? I want it to run on my Radeon 8500 :-(
ok
runs perfectly with latest detonator drivers and xp, full screen or windowed.
Very nice stuff indeed. The flow is very good, its consistent, the effects are good, and the 2d/3d is also nice. I'd like more demos like that.

please oh please Fairlight New Direction ;) the people ask for a final version supporting radeon!
it's ok but too boring for me
hmm i dunno.. its ok
nice art, nice music, the walking bitch is animated poorly, some effects looked buggy here... it's from 2002... ~_~
Sesse: You must be on drugs. The music is perfect throughout the whole demo. Also - the demo looks nice.
there are some bad scenes but still it rules
just because of the music and the scene visible on the shot above.

nice. too much radial blur maybe. anyway, he made great 64ks afterwards.
"couldn't initialize device".. ?

Ok, now how comes out that I haven't voted for This? ...
Very good, the track is one of my favourites (someone knows what music tools were used ? thx!)

totally "omg" soundtrack.
it sadly crashed.. i would love to see it someday, couse the soundtrack is sooo great!
it's rulez
THE most underrated prod of all prods at mekka. Just was reminded by it when listening to the soundtrack at DemoVibes 7 and thus this instant yet slightly delayed thumb up! :)
Wtf, no ribbons?
No, seriously, loves the atmosphere and sourndtrack. Voted it 1st. Very undervoted.

the sample "A dream come true, eh?", where does it come from? it sounds familiar, but I cannot recall if I have heard it before. Any ideas?
music = <3
ATI support plz.
finally i was able to run it.. (only in windowed mode though)
reminds me a bit of certain inf demos..

joa. kann man machen. Musik ist gut.
beautiful. it was a long time ago... music still...unique.
Lots of bugs, some very obvious. But also a lot of nice parts.
And the music... amazing.

Made me buy roses for the girl i love :)
bug parade, also the music was quite dull in the beginning then it became better and better. some good modeling there too. and i definitely liked it!
just smashing, awesome music as always from Bliss.
good
the music is cool
superb music and atmosphere
dammit that music
very nice
Visually this is simply great for 2002! Really nice music as well.
hmmm... *yawn*
Really nice music! Graphics and models are nice too but the demo is way too boring.
I loved the metaballs
A pretty cool water scene and some lovely music.
soo nice :)
Great technology, visuals and soundtrack, but all this things connected are only good.
