haha, pretty cool =)

the Mad Tracer™ still looks a bit bit strange (non-uniform noise... there's some temporal stuff going on, but is it more sophisticated than just convergence over frames?) but visually pleasant enough

music is really great, love it in every way
rulez added on the 2019-06-17 18:18:51 by noby noby
@noby: It's just a 50:50 averaging with previous frame to limit noise at least a bit and prevent long afterglow tails at lower framerates.

But could you give some examples what exactly do you mean by noise non-uniformity and where it's most visible? Maybe that could be fixed somehow. :)

The camera movement around 36 secs is so nice. Love it.

Neat. But why no reflection from the car?
rulez added on the 2019-06-18 08:17:26 by Manwe Manwe
@Manwe: Because it's all painted with vampire blood. ;)
But really, MadTracer[tm] framework is all about single sample approximations. If secondary samples start hitting surrounding buildings at one point, the remaining secondary samples will also try at that distance, completely skipping the car except for certain angles (e.g. 1:13). But thanks for pointing this out - I could try to improve the heuristic in this area.

And thank everybody for all the kind comments. :)

Is the screenshot even IN the intro? I don't remember seeing anything resembling that :o

Not bad but both the music and the visuals tend to pack interesting bits closely coupled with very uninteresting ones.

The first scene with the metaballs was fine, wasn't crazy about the rest. Would've done better with less muted colors and the car scene especially looked quite drab. The music was nice.

@Gargaj: It's at 0:51.
added on the 2019-06-18 11:28:18 by KK KK
@KK: just that some parts of some of the shots looked quite a bit noisier than others, more than i'd expect, but also mainly i was looking a edges of the geometry which sometimes appeared more noisy than it should

for an example at around 0:51 on the capture the edges around the pillars sticking out of the walls have quite a lot more noise, which made me think there was some depth based rejection of samples to reduce ghosting from the temporal convergence

awesome :) and (un)surprisingly fast (almost steady 60fps on 2060 @ 720p)

if you're indeed used non-uniform noise, don't even bother to throw it away but rather improve it :)

Well its obviously a rules although I disagree with some of the color choices. I might be spoiled by alll those neon fake retro prods but they look too smudgy at places. Is smudgy even a word?

Looks great, sounds good.
rulez added on the 2019-06-19 09:44:12 by Dascon Dascon
rules indeed. One personal point : cars in demo are always looking very statique and artificial. Either do a floating car or add some very subtle turbulence on the car mvt.

Really nice lighting and scenes. Still a lot of artifacts/noise though :/

quality stuff, as you'd expect from those two :)
really like the retro vibe in the soundtrack, the visuals could have had more neon.

Well, too good to be true! ;)
I guess that´s what happens if a non-coder invents a new way to raymarch and a really good coder uses this new tech! ;) (i am an average coder, but maybe i should have a look into this myself finally! :) )
Keep them coming, try to get under 4K next time maybe! ;)

Well, the intro requires 32-bit d3d9_37.dll which can be downloaded here.
I also like to notice 80s-styled music, it sounds very good!
