I actually enjoyed some of the effects

Nothing amazing, but overall a good demo. I especially like the music a lot.

Nice Visuals but the music is... :(

A very good surprise .... simple but effective demo ... with a good overall look and design ... Stylish guys, keep it up !

Nice.

I admit to being bored by this demo. Music was fine, some of the line spectacles were nice, but there was no kick to it.

Incredibly crisp, tight, meticulous etc. One for the coders, although the way each effect is presented shows great design. I thought the music was very good, nice and dark.

I liked this. Nice to watch, even if it didn't kick shifter in the pants.

I like lines. Vector always trumps raster.

It's been ages since a demo showing maths effects was released, which is a shame. Good stuff!

i liked this... one of the better ones (in 'originality') in the compo...

The music and design could have been better, but there were some nifty things.

nice demo.
some effect was good.
and I liked music.

very original visualisation of (in the case) unusual mathematics.
very good.

DiamonDie: "The music and design could have been better" is probably the most unfitting comment here.
either you like it or not, but making it "better" is certainly the wrong term...

wow - there were so many nice effect-ideas in here. the realisation didn´t always live up to it but this is my personal assembly coup de coeur.

well i must confess i liked it. (iam secretly
wishing that traction is no gamecompany
and is new demogroup that will make
kick-ass stuff in future to all finnish parties,
right?)
rulez added on the 2003-08-15 20:39:19 by uns3en_ uns3en_
some of the effects weren't well enough defined/executed, but overall a great demo imho.

nice! btw, secret part = use the arrow keys to forward or backward :P

Not my thing at all. I liked the water ripples, but everything else was forgettable.

I won't thumb it down though as it's not a bad demo; it's just not to my taste.

high level, near perfection, music rulez

Liked it a lot, except the music. Was that head modeled or stock? I thought I recognized it, which sours things a bit, but oh well.

I like these kind of effect after effect demos.

schweet design! the name "study in lines and textures" does not sound very convincing though :)

It's good, only one thing is disturbed me : music is too monotone and makes the demo a bit booring.

design, music and graphics rulez.
but please, next time forget the stupid "scenepoetry"...
and, especially do write about math if you have no fucking clue about what do the words mean...!!
rulez added on the 2005-01-10 16:22:15 by blala blala
i mean, "...do NOT write..."
added on the 2005-01-10 16:22:35 by blala blala
I do know very much what those words I used mean, I've studied my share of university level maths. But in the demo, it's all only wordplay, as you noticed.. the sort of a "point" in this was to say that mathematics is everywhere, and everything is mathematics, and to share the feeling you get when you suddenly understand the concepts. I know that the point could've been expressed better, but this was my first "real" demo..
added on the 2005-01-10 22:38:37 by Preacher Preacher
(and as far as scene poetry goes, sorry. There will be more in the future ;))
added on the 2005-01-10 22:38:57 by Preacher Preacher
the so-called "university level math" says surprisingly little about those words (maybe with the exception of 'subtraction of sets' :)
on the other hand, they make a _very bad_ wordplay, and annoy the shit out of me...
added on the 2005-01-11 10:45:19 by blala blala
nice, il like it !
rulez added on the 2005-01-12 21:33:20 by bLa bLa
blala: oh, that's a shame. i mean, the world revolve around how you feel the math in demos are presented. we'd better remove these horrible mathematical lies before some innocent kid takes offence.

oh, wait a minute.. your opinion isn't worth diddly squat - ah, i knew there was a point in there somewhere.

recap: this demo rules. :)

Forgettable music, only minimal design and not much to look at otherwise either.

Preacher, will you marry me? Once again a great production. Except for the music. That really got on my nerves (Sorry).

Didn't really catch me, although I wanted to be caught, as with any Traction prod.
Easy to see it's Traction, though.
Didn't really care about the music, but loved the effects.

What Vaipon said. Early Traction style, I love it.
rulez added on the 2011-04-11 01:02:39 by rutra80 rutra80
Stylewise this is quite a jump from the previous two, and the first where I somehow can't really connect to the music. It's a neat tune, but I like the previous two better.

However the graphics, especially in the water ripple scene look ace. Some other scenes look interesting as well, nice improvement over the previous two demos :)
rulez added on the 2013-05-25 13:47:02 by mog mog
Yeah, this one is mostly mine while Vulture took the charge with the previous ones and I did only very minor things (and nothing for ForsakeN), hence the change of style. Here I coded most of the content and did most of the design. IIRC the metaball scene and the falling triangles reflecting on the cube are by Vulture, the rest is by me.

late thumb
really underrated
So very 2003, but aged surprisingly well.
