nice. the only thing i found weird was the good looking water contrasting with the lowpoly icebergs...

nice
*yawnage*
Liked the water. The ice not so...
looked very nice. The water almost real but, but there could've been done a lot more instead of just lifting icebergs o_O
Very relaxed urban smooth tune, though \me likes.

not enough demoeffects by the eyes of a coder. But water is nice and underwater scenes are cool. dull ending
Fucking lovely. True, dodge, more could have been done...but sometimes all you really need to do is lift icebergs and relax:) And yeah, a nice Rokysoppy feel on the ears.
++ killer soundtrack
+ relaxing mood, fitting effects
- very ugly icebergs

water looks nice but whats with the floating teeth? O_o
nice visual colouring, mellow theme.. not enough going on though.
Ran unwatchable slow on my PC, but I really liked it on the video. The ice doesn't look right (except when underwater), but the water was good.
Overall, the flow is great, the tune is great, and it works really well.

The water looks pretty impressive but that's it. Totally boring demo, soundtrack fits (i.e. it is also boring) and the demo lacks action. Sleeping pill.
psonice: is that the same crappy gf5 you had 2 years ago that ran everything back then terribly as well? :)
so FRESH ;) and great-looking!
and what ps said :D

hm. did nothing for me.
a bit simple visuals sometimes but most of it looked good. nice and mellow demo
Not interesting at all.
For the people that says that it's not interesting coding-wise. I think this demo is the first one to feature Subsurface Scattering realtime (I may be wrong...), not too many people noticed it.
Although I think we failed on getting the best of it in the end.

trace: yeh they glowed nicely but were still quite ugly/unrealistic as fuck.. :/
Doesnt start at all on my ati x700

ps: demos are more about dreams (or nightmares) than reality :P
i love sts to death but this is a "meh"
freudian slip sorry ;)
completely agree with gargaj here. :D
So far...for me is the best of all the demos of the competition :)
my 2th award goes to ASD, and 3th ...Still
Great work

subsurface scattering for the masses. Can we see this shader now working on something like the venus.3ds model ?? :-)
Very smooth and zen.
Some iceberg look like teeth ;-)

Believe me, its better the teeth look, than the ocean-full-of-whales-piss look x)
This was OK; some glitches in the waves but the colors were pleasing. The way the credits came scrolling was nice, I think.
Not the XPLSV quality I've come to love. It's really not to my taste - over contrasted, slow, boring music.
No thumb down because it's just a matter of taste.

trace: maybe if they were icecubes on a whiskey glass... x_x
I just don't really like this demo. Water is nice but the icebergs are fugly and overall show is quite boring. The ambience reminds mi of Tokyo.
Thumb up for the water. Any recommendations on good papers on the theory behind?
Nice atomsphere, excellent music, and the water looks refreshing ;)
yes! - awsome mood!!!!
Water looks really nice. But the whole thing is quite boring.
Yeah, congrats for the nice water effect... overall quite entertaining but becomes boring towards the end.
The wasser is nice, reminded me of *KRÖHÖM* Project Grid that's available with sources and everything :)
The rest is kinda average...

really cool - relaxing and nice. the icebergs reminded me of teeth though. :)
One of the nicest water effects I've seen. Nice feeling and music also.
I can't really see the hip scattering thingie, but maybe I just don't understand where it should be visible.
The water effect is nice, but not nicer then I have seen in other demo's/examples.
The rest is just boring :(

Pretty water, nice soundtrack compared to the usual idm crap, but the demo simply gets very very boring towards the end.
the mood all over and the soundtrack is pretty lovely. a nice chilling number!
what would happen if you shaded your objects by 1-dot(N,L) ? Wouldn't it look very similar to what we have here or there is something I'm missing ?

you are wrong :) I like the underwater images the most, and the music is very good! I saw flt, asd and xplsv demos so far, the three managed to add so nice music, fantastic!
chilling
Cool.
O_0--b
teeth.
xplsv can do better.
what made you think the icebergs flying into the sky was a good idea? :)
Beatifull even if boring at times.
What fiver said.
But the overall atmosphere is so relaxing. I love the way, the ice shines through the water.

a bit like Tokyo. I like the water and the attempt at SSS even if I thought it was goraud shading before I read the readme :P . Now, do skin shader spikeballs pls with moles and hair pls ..
Hmm .. nice but still ... looks like a tremendous rendiring, in a dull package ...
Nothing really exciting about the icebergs, and the music is just ... hmmm ... reasonesque, and very uninspired for me.
But still, i love XPLSV :)

OH NOEZ.... ANOTHER WEIRD DX9 UPGRADE.. SORRY GUYS. NOT THIS TIME

As previously stated, it's not. Anyway, building your demo on a coder-porn detail that actually needs explaining from your part ought to be a clear sign it's not that much of an improvement over ye olde fakery.
Loved the water effect, then the whole thing just fell into the ocean, demo-wise </ban pun>
yeah, let's visit the dentist :-) well it's kinda nice, but too relaxing and not enough variation.
This water effect is better than most video games, but the demo could have been so much more.
I can't say I'm experienced with real icebergs (not too experienced with the fake ones, either), but surely they don't look like teeth????
Music is a bit dull, aswell....Overall, I think this entry is not fitting for the Intel demo compo at all.

Thanks.
great water! the rest isn´t and the cursor pops up during the demo
not my cup of tea, ice was so ugly compared to water
Icebergs <- WTF?! -> Teeth
I hoped that at some point a big monster showed out implanting icebergs in his mouth... It would have kicked ass! :D

it begins like a fresh wet dream (= youth) and ends like a dentist nightmare (the loss of teeth = ageing then death)...
it's in fact a whole human parable :)

The star in this cast is the musician I think. The rest was just as fun as pulling teeth.
Well, I must admit - quite similar production to Tokyo but I don't like this demo (especially music)... Xplsv can do better stuff.
oh man... sooo tempted of doing a second part of this demo, where you would see the, so called, teeths coming togetther and being inserted in someones mouth.
The two things I liked the most in this demo were the water and the music. But I am a bit confused about the music - I admire it a lot, but the rhythm is 100% uptempo version of Thievery Corporation's Prelude. I'm sure that it was a great inspiration to niko ruen, but at first I thought "OMG, they ripped the music!". May be some variations next time? Great track anyway.
sorry, Interlude, not Prelude
Piggy or thumb? Well, the music was lovely, so thumb! :)
Very nice and chill mood. Music could've been better, but it's nice enough.
Some bssrdf over those icebergs would have made the show even better. Of course 
a really nice and calm show with excellent water simulation. but the competition is a bit too strong, i guess. you could've done a little bit more with those lines. the music is fine anyway.

Great visuals and nice music! There is very little action, but I managed to sit through the demo without ritalin, so I think its ok!
what Happy-H said
Very good-looking product. I would like to see a more intensive use of the splines with refraction here and there. Music is also well done and even of my taste! :)
In my opinion you don't need to create something extremely complex to get a nice demo. This one holds a well balanced combination of everything and the result is more than acceptable this time.
Also I want to mention that blackpawn put a *lot* of extra effort in the prod, not only with the effects but with a new version of the demotool, whose results i hope to see in the future. I would like to see a version with the lost scenes also :)

quite a boring product all in all, which, despite a good rendering of water, fails at making its color realistic, and fails at lighting the icebergs correctly.. And the 3d splines growing arround the icebergs are so cliché... Of course, it doesn't deserves a "sucks", but little details, such as the inability at hiding the mouse cursor correctly, makes this production fail at being a good one..
Half the way for my taste, so piggy...
I quite enjoyed it - the connection between the extruding cylinders and the music should probably be improved, it's currently a bit difficult to get it(TM).
Nice.
nice flow and calm soundtrack
I cant get rid of the feeling that this one is very underrated. Its calm and has subtle but good effects. I like it!
very chillout atmospherical style... relaxing with a very nice music.. feel the power of the sea :)
Icebergs go Asteroids. Jup, quite kewl, all over !
Strange. The underwater scenes are awesome, but somehow the whole impression is ruined by the saturated colors and the teeth-like appearance of the icebergs. I kept waiting for a toothbrush or pepsodent tube to appear :)
happy chillout music

sunshiny chilly icebergs

a cute pun
and despite the fact that I have only 1 cpu, it ran well.
was the ice underwater subsurface scattery or just fogged?
More watery refractive splines! THICKER!

Nice music, and some nice effects (I love water, and underwater scene looks also really nice).
I miss a little bit of dynamics in the sky and more credible models for the icebergs.
Anyway good work :)

i don't think we need to talk in termes of quantity... i don't need much action or effect to enjoy a demo. Nice work!
way too boring, music isn't my cup of tea and only one scene (basically). nice water though.
hmm i don't really like it.
wonderful water and music but not that exciting as a whole.
Inspired by blue tooth?
What from bluetooth?
As it says in the readme: The 'flying' icebergs are quite ugly...
Water looks great, and the music is killer. I am not so sure about the subsurface scattering (I honestly can't really see, but it could have to do with the ultra-low res video I saw), but the demo overall is very nice.
What other demos features subsurface scattering? I personally can't recall any.

Loved the water. Those ice look like clean teeth. ;)
The water is really glitchy on my system. (Quadro FX 4500 on Vista. Yah, probably my own fault for having such a lamass OS). Aside from that, the demo itself was really clean and pretty, although perhaps a bit boring.
Cooooooool water!
The water is glitched on my 7900, too, but what's there is awesome. Love the synchronized titles and yes, the ice looks like molten teeth. :)
"Look ma, new shaders!"
Cool water, chilling atmosphere and smooth music. Lovely.
Detected only 1 CPU core. Time for an upgrade? :P
The cool water and the floaty score prevented me from thumbing this one down. Sorry.
Could've REEEEEEEEEALLY used some FSAA but I rather liked this one.
I like this. Very relaxing, nice waves.
Beautiful. =)
Nice
Nothing groundbreaking, but very relaxing and I really like demos that feature imaginary places.
relaxing demo, awesome water, but not much else. A bit uneventful for an Intel Compo.
Nice and relaxing indeed.
so pure !
screwing up my xp.
nice
okay demo. not much happening.
What the hell? This is _fantastic_! Great soundtrack (as usual with xplsv) and visuals, though the lofi quality of the ice kinda bothers at times, but still as said, fantastic.
very nice stuff! especially the chilled soundtrack (=
I like
2:05. chillin'.
