Pure Cocoon style !

yes ! ...

Great Demo as always from Cocoon.

Forgot the Thumb up!

really good flooow. impressive modeling and texturing. music and synchro are really nice too.
nytrik you have improve your modeling skill since nazca!
pure coccon style!

what Shazz^TRSi^MJJ said !

excellent

These constant flashes were really annoying. Epileptics should probably not watch this!
Thumbs down for annoying me.

rough - which is damn fine for this aggressive design, counter-balanced by a perfect color palette, efficient effects, smooth 3D models and enjoyable soundtrack.

100% cocoon indeed :)

Didn't liked it so much. Not only it took a long time loading (and not loading bar) but it was a 3d flybye without any additional effects and not even something really beatiful you can stare like for example 3d flybyes from plastic. I mean, the 3d and graphics were still good but not impressive especially for the loading time.

Really enjoyed that ride, i didnt find it so aggressive like Zest did, gritty sure but balanced out well with some really flowing moments, loved the soundtrack aswell, and that worm like thing rocks aswell :)

Too many flashing colours in this show, but you're still the best in tunnel and room flyby's!

Video please... did not run here.

A little bit long to but runs perfcetly here

a bit long to *load* that is

Well executed ... a bit too flashy though, which keeps from really appréciating the show to its fullest !
But, the modeling plainly ownz !

Beautiful prod
Nice design and the tune really feet to the prod.

Cool gfx and music. Lovely melody towards the end. I'm very unsure about that flashing. On one side it adds some grittiness to the smooth 3d visuals. Makes things more disturbing which is cool. On the other hand it gets kind of annoying. I'd like to see how the demo would be with it enabled for longer periods of time and not as a flashing effect.

Anyways great demo! I don't get how you can keep churning out these top prods at such a high rate.

In my opinion not cocoon's best. I mean it looks and sounds good, but it didn't really take me on that "ride", like for instance Raw Confessions did.

wow another great demo from cocoon ^_^

(ps: next time please make a loading bar ;P)

In my opinion there are lack of rush and missing coherency between scenes. I think the images are over postprocessed and I found flashing effects really cheap. Music is not my cup of tea, today.

still solid modelling and colours marks this demo to be "cocoonish"

so so thumb up.....

I found the music okish.
I really don't like the human models in cocoon demos :/.
Apart from this : rulez

I found it cool on the big screen, kudos cocoon ! (And thanks willbe for the final rls)

hmm...no.
music has it's moments though.

My favorite at the party, I like the aggressive style.

rulez

i'm with tobe on this one

It was damn cool, but I kind of agree with loady about the flashing.

i would have thumbed up if it weren't for the flashing...it was really getting to me towards the end. Overall, I much prefer Nazca.

Loved it although somehow felt a bit empty on content.. the music and design and even the flashing was well executed though!

A Bit to yellow for my taste, but quite enjoyable

any chance for a capture? :)

great

Bit large but REALLY awesome!

i didn't like all the flashing nonesense, but the rest was cool.

I kind of liked the flash thing. A bit too much, but loved the look. Font was also nice, some overlays didn't fit on the thing.

Overall I think is my favourite cocoon prod since shad2.

my favourite cocoon prod since raw confessions, tho yeh, the flashes are frikking annoying!

That's rox ! Easily the better prod of the party !
But i prefer your main#2 prod !

Aye, very Cocoon-ish :). Great 3D scenes, a little overdone with the flashing though. Still easily a 'rulez'!

No THAT'S a mean soundtrack, meine Herren!

Like the texturing and the dak colours. Music ist good, too. As Alpa said, a little too flashy, but still my winner of the party (if you take the results seriously).

too much flashing, thus no thumb

best demo of the year IMHO.

Extremely polished but it's not much fun

straight cocoon style. yay!
flashy overdose. duh!
willbe soundtrack. yay!
excellent ending. yay!
lacks innovation. duh!
sum: yay

SOUNDTRACK PLEASE!

salinga: try unzipping the archive :)

also, it crashes 10 out of 10 if you move the window in windowed mode :P

great demo, too much flashing, too white overlays, but nytrik already has my detailed buglist anyway :)

Flash me beautiful. Nice one Cocoon. Thanks for the greetings.

too much flashing.

cocool!

I wish that at some point, the rest of the Cocoon-guys would put Willbe's _EXCELLENT_ music to better use. Tunnels, metaballs and flashing..? Sure, nice modelling and lighting, but it's just so unbelievably uninspired. :(

I loved the start + the end. The rest.. I got a huge feeling of "I've watched this demo before". I loved the screen flash effect at the start too.. if it had been kept to there, it would have ruled.

Overall, weak thumb up for the strong start + end and the seen-before middle.

way too much flashes, but nice prod.

sorry sorry sorry. if the rest was kick ass, I wouldnt mind but all that flashing almost made me puke. what´s the purpose of it all?

what mueslee said :)
YEAH!

overall it looked pretty nice but was too much 3d engine showcase for my taste. still have to give thumb for the strobo that was really well executed.

i would have thumbed it down but the music saved it..

why? because i still dont like this type of demo :/ (especially not the epilepsy effect ;)

Music's nice indeed. Although there seems to be no bass present in the mix at all.

Nice show!

I guess most stuff has been pointed out already..

Heads growing out of surfaces, text overlays, long rotations around 3D scenes, pipes... no doubt, it's a Cocoon Flyby :)

It's far from being your best demo but personal tastes put aside there is some good work in it and the soundtrack is really good (as usual), so have a thumb up ;)

and extra thumb to be above that "ugly bag of mostly shit" that the french demoscene has become.

awesomness, i love it, last minute was really creepy
great work guys

Absolutely beautiful graphics, but I don't think the flashing, jumping and upbeat music works very well for a dark theme like this.

solid production. some nice models in there, too. too much asynchronous flashing imho, but then, "hauptsache strobo". the beats are cool, too. good work.

maybe what wade said.....

I've got a HUGE loading time :\\

woha. Really really nice. I really love the dark theme and the last 30 seconds are just very moody! gotta love this. yous best demo so far. however I do agree that the flashing was kinda annoying (and out of sync here but could be my computer?)

very nice -- but i also disliked the more than ample flashing

Not a big fan of the cocoon style (textures/models) but music is nice!

also, i feel that the model of that zombie-like resident evil style guy wasnt really used to its full potential (was expecting some more detailed close ups and eerie action, but alas)

Darkstyle but rulez... nice production.

Sincerely i'm sorry but it's not my cup of tea...
(... except soundtrack is ok)

Great stuff! The soundtrack is really cool! Also some awesome work by Nytrik etc....

OK, there needs to be a graph or something about loading the demo in the beginning. I had to wait like three minutes and thought the demo crashed. :(

Demo was OK. Nothing special.

I like cocoon demos, but... My only impression on this one was the beginning and the greetingspart with big gratitude too willbe who still makes the best demomusic out there.

\o/ cocoon is still back \o/

excellent

great stuff. cocoon rox.

good. if it only wasnt for those nasty flashes throughout the demo ...

I liked everything but the flashing.

i haven't seen such a good demo for months ! what a great nu breakz tune, cool graphics, simple but working effects, makes me think of a matt current style, a massive double thumbsup !

Blinking ruins demo....but still thumbs up for a great show.

Smith chart :D

Ugly, but great music.

for the kickass music! visuals were ok!

the stroboscope and overlays got pretty annoying after a while and couldn't really hide that it wasn't more than a moderately pretty 3D flyby

Not bad eyecandy, really not bad. And I like the blinkiblinking.

übershow :)

I love the end part.

could do with less blinking
seriously this made my eyes hurt

Hi Piment! Nice demo! I like the metal-snake!

It looks great and has some pretty cool music. But why-o-why, do they need metaballs in every production - you master it, we get it :-) Now, think of some other form of dynamic geometry, there's plenty...

.

Self voting sucks :(

i like the last releases more... music was great... but still good cocoon style... so thumb up!

Haha, loved the Smith chart.

Very high quality. I think that the flashing is slightly overused. It fits some parts perfectly, though

Sincerely, I know the amount of work there is in this production, but "too much blinking" killed the show. It fastly bored me. Anyway liked the end.

Nah, this is ok so piggy

take a break and come back!

triplacaidu

well made, okish style

Nytrik: you can leave the demoscene but how can the demoscene leave you?
I hope Cocoon will release a new demo at BP09 !

I'm thumbing it up not only because it's a good demo but also to motivate nytrik (he he) : there's no such thing as retirement for sceners, only rest periods. I hope to see more of your art anytime soon.

A great show. All the best to nytrik. your graphics inspired me since the late 90ies. I'll hope you'll have your rest

btw: is this prod's official title just "retrofitting" or "retrofitting for mrs connor" as hinted by the nfo file?

this is even better than Nazca, and Shad3
Design rocks! colours, inverse sepia shader, models are somewhat sublime
You did a good joob on this guys!

code music graphics everything fits in perfectly. It's called art. It's called style.

good one

You can't go wrong with Cocoon. Everytime you start one of their demos you will experience:

- Great graphics and outstanding modelling
- Nice effects with a good flow
- A very nice engine, everything moves without a hiccup
- And, of course, a fantastic track by Willbe!

And this one is no exception. My deepest respect for all the effort you invest again and again...

(PS: Will you release something @ Main09?)

Nice, but I felt like I was watching strobo and it got really annoying.

rox ette!

dead link...

cool show, a bit too much flashing at times tho.
btw. what's that font?
