dont run on radeon??? uhhhh.....:( i'm waiting final or patch.....

No wonder, it's another one made with kolors' relais engine

i'm really getting tired of demos that don't run on radeon for no good reason at all.

Don't run on GeForceGO5200 ( mobile chip ) either ... :(
Too bad, coz it was quite nice on the big screen, here at the party ...
Maybe a fix ?

State of the Art Demos rockzzzzz :) :) Also great :) Nice Music from A-Move :) Like Robots crawling around ;)

Not all that entertaining, but the design, music and general direction is very sophisticated and ultra stylish! Nice!

the snapshot robot is great.. but.. boring demo as well.. :(

jeah, this one me likes!

special... but nice

i love it already....

though i bet it was unintended, it feels like a little sequel to relais. kolor created a post-human world where (originally human-made?) robots run their own civilisation with relicts of human presence (the up-hold human portraits, the museum etc.). a stanislav-lem'esque scenario. and then black maiden comes up with an "update" - in some secret place, far away from the robots' presence, some left-over insects mutate (or get mutated?) to some insectoid robot hybrid, and showing off their terrifying abilities in this one. the parallel usage of insect and insectoid droid models in here intensifies the connection to the relais scenario, but brings a new element into it. now a part 3 would be in order - the threat for the post-human robotic civilisation through the new insectoid robot race.

yes yes, it's just some stuff that came up my mind, and i know that at least noize never read stanislav lem. perhaps it's just my for interpretating stuff into stuff...=)
anyway, there is more inside this one then it seems, and the athmosphere created by the monotoneous and dark music, the greyscale+red colorscheme and the minimalistic yet still hypnotic synchronisation gives one a lot more brainfood than just the usual 3d flyby. and it gives you even more when you start to connect it with the relais sujet.

scene sci-fi!

uhm, some typos here and there, if you find them you can keep them... =) i have exams tomorrow so i just rushed my first impressions together.

Great French wordlist presentation!!! (Awhat?)

visual style is great, transitions too, but somehow to me there is no tension in it.

design is really nice, music is cool, maybe a little bit too short, but i like it ! nice work !

Wow! Exceptional artwork and modelling! Works out great for me!

tsss

FANTASTIC! Very tight design, beautiful original meshes, wonderful keyframing and it looks so beautiful! More!

J U S T
F U C K I N G
M A S S I V E

(please, add an ARB extensions version so ati users like me will be able to watch it again and again and again and again....)

with love...

very nice productiion!!!
enjoyed the freshness of design!

In some aspects I prefer this one over Cocoon's entry. Very stylish design and the first time I saw the mech insect was incredible.

A radeon bugfix would be nice though. ;)

just wanted to thumb this up because i really love it!

but you were lucky, i have a GeForce 4200 in my computer today, to hear that this demo will stop working once i put back my (superior) radeon makes it a pig-face.

issssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss
im afraid of spiders but DAMN DAMN DAMN great modelling, good work PANDUR!!!!!!

this is definitly a thumb up for this cool prod

Definetely the best entry in SOTA's democompo. Not so much content, but the quality and eerie atmosphere made my skin crawl. The "Bug" breathing was out of this world. Very nice work guys!

big ups. great atmosphere. what visu said, too.

G R E A T
the music and the visual are in interaction
the both make the atmosphere

cool demo

Luckily I'm at work with my GeForce4 and I slowly stop caing ybout people who don't want me to see their demos, so....

A mean question first.... Is it only me or did I just hear a whole lot of
Incyber in the music? :)

Apart from those nuisances: Awesome. I somehow have the urge to second Dipswitch on his thoughts, and the modelling/animation was just great. Same with the style of the shading, though I'd have wished a more sophisticated shading system to let this style come out more... but what the heck. I liked it :)

enjoyable!

Sucks that it doesn't run on Radeon, but big ups for the video version (which makes it somewhat alright).

Pretty cool-looking stuff in here. Not that exciting, but a really nice atmosphere. Dipswitch's overanalysis is full of shit though :)

Very cool demo! Stunning music and modelling. In my opinion it should have won!

good Colors Sheme & Atmosphere ... few things are missed to be unforgetable demo.

and : "vive la france" ;)

superb

stylish.
nice music.

very good demo made by some guys i did not know : i thinks this one deserve the first place ... a demo a would have been proud to do !

sehr gut!

wow! please, let me eat that thing

das ist design!

poah so nice!

Impressive 3d insects. Very good !

amazing!!

wicked design, but too short.

rulez anyway.

Really cool visuals, uninterresting, dull, boring, flat, no saying, lame tune.

Good, but boring...

Fresh & Stylish.
Impressive design/modelling/shading work. My only complaint is that I somehow get the impression that the animation and camera work are a tad weaker in some scenes.
And kudos to whoever had the idea to add those piercing cries to the soundtrack.

neat. ultrastylish. and i don't dig coleoptera at all :D

fucking amazing!

divx anywhere ?
this jewel probably won't work on my laptop.

i found it very beautiful and it kept me awake when i watching it in my sleeping bag from a very unconfortable angle to the bigscreen.

great one !
loveable atmosphere, clear design, massive identity.
ruled the party.

amazing!

Really cool and kinda very creepy. Special thanks for releasing high quality video immediately after the party.

Ain't bad, though lacks something I couldn't name. A bit spiceless. It all builds on one single - though excellent - object, the rest are just thrown in to have something else. Is the ant at the beginning really the old 3dsmax tutorial object?

nice models, nice sound, nice engine...still, a bit too boring for my taste....anyways, it's solid and stylish, so thumbs up.

smart looking design and movement, and the mech-insect is coool.

creepy bug feeling all around, very artistic graphics, solid output. music plays well together and keeps the atmosphere on hold.

kb, oh yeah - i had that incyber feeling as well. which is not a bad thing at all, as that soundtrack kicks some ass, too. :)

hmm.. the app is called "kolor: interceptor", oops, someone forgot to fix that :)

great design and modelling. i'm definitely reminded of the autechre: second bad vilbel video. and even a little bit of k-wak in terms of design/transitions/music (their objects are 100x better of course).

Style with a big S!
Looked really nice at the bog screen on the party!
Good work Black Maiden!
(hey poti! :P)

Simply awesome modeling : great work Pandur !

Je n'ai pas de "père aubergiste" sorry ;)

Doesn't work on Radeon
can't see the show
{ dommage }

Impressive demo (too bad this doesn't run on radeon, as I've a radeon and a gffx, but as a coder I prefer compatibility)

Saying "there will be a video version" is all very well, but WHERE THE FUCK IS IT?

read more properly

doh :)

well-realized demo... Thumbs up all the way

Radeon patch please...

Aaargghhh. Black Maiden again rulezzors on SOTA 2004. Good work. Great animation of robotinsects...

I watched it from hi-divx, please do not make "only one platform" demos.

Please do Ati port, be multiplatorm ! (heh on the PC grounds)

Rulez !

nice stuff :) great modelling, lovely colours, and a cool tune too

works here nicely on a GeForceFX 5200. Stylish

My GeForce3 Ti (400Euro) renders Farcry with max graphic details nearly smooth but this demo was a slide show here =[

my OS (WIN98SE) wasn't supported so i tried anyway and i was so pleased to see and hear such delights i ran it twice.

Fantastic model and some nice elements of design, but not much else. Still, I really liked the four-legged insect.

not bad.

nice!

IDM.

RELEASE A FINAL ! Halffunctional only GeForce party releases sucks...

yeah baby yeah !!!!

great music !

video link added. enjoy!

Great animation, great modelling. No feeling, nothing interesting in it.

Aouch...

++ Awersome modeling
+ Stylish
+ Lovely music

No thumb up, because of geforce only demo.

Amazing production.
The tune fits perfectly and ensures for the right tendency and feeling.
CDC

no NVIDIA no demo sucks HARD

Guardian: There are many OSX demos left for downthumbing, which support ATI but "no OSX no demo".

There are only a few good b/w / greyscale demos with style, this is one of them.

i have to admit, i enjoyed the video version

Looks damn good.

this prod is ok only

Really good apart from the bloody boring "and now let us show you that scene again and again with differents camera angles because we worked very hard on it and we're running out of ideas to fill the 3 minutes anyway".

Rulez! Shame it doesn't run on radeon.

despite what i'd call minor flaws, it well managed to pull me into the insekt-atmosphere // yet i must second opinion it lacks something -- it simply doesn't meet expectations, towards the end the feel is a bit empty:: "and that was it.."

Doesn't run on my GF6600 gt :|

great graphic design and execution!!
i haven't voted for this yet?!

Very clean and stylish looks.

great models

yep, good stuff

I like it.

That's exactly what I've described as bad demos in my article => I understand why Dipswitch wasn't happy so (I recognize this demo is hard work even if not my pleasure).

I don't like it: too anxiogen demo.
And it doesn't restore the original gamma at the end.

Moreover: enjoy mpg (by Dip) !
So who was right about anims?
EP again...

haha you fucking idiot, WHAT DO I HAVE TO DO WITH THIS PRODUCTION?

That's exactly what I'd describe as a good demo.
I like it: a fucking well executed demo.
and who's that EP again ?

.

LOL 2 EP :D

I'm looking forward to see the next demo of this team. I think Pandur Is one of the best scene mech modeller right now. There is only one thing in this demo that I don't like. One of the anims is repeated - he he take this word as an advice - If You don't have anymore stuff to put into the "hole" in your demo - just make couple of camera shots that shows only some parts of a model. The natural sense will cheat the spectator, and leave him with the feeling that he was watching different stuff all the time :P. Visual cheating rocks :D.

ep made my day :) demo rocks, too

Doesn't run on my gf6600gt either :/
But it's a cool one!

A great demo from the enigma zone. ;)
Fantastic mood.

I though I'd vote this one! Great colors

;)

cool, the music rocks!

smooth now... cool!

i know this one from my old secondary pc which had a ti4200. but now, with a 6800GT it's impossible to get it running.. anybody able to state the contrary?
whatever.. i really loved, as long as it worked..

works again \o/

Style!

crash on p4, 1024mb ram, r9600xt
catalyst 5.12, win xp

finally saw this baby realtime.
Great modelling , animation , atmosphere and music.

mmm

it's stylish, okay - but still it's just a (single) object show with some rudimentary animation and it leaves me quite cold and uninspired.
virtual for the effort.

To get it to run on Geforce 6600 or better with 256 MB memory, use the following trick.

1. Unpack

upx -d interceptor.exe

2. Take your fav Hexeditor (e.g. Hiew) and replace "glColorTableEXT" at 00048AA4 with some extension name of the same length, say, "glBindProgramNV".

3. Run the Demo and select "Perfect Textures".

Enjoy! I'm not the originator of this fix, i'm just following an Idea given by Shiva.

Great design!

love the spider

Cool!

Design

rulez

looks good, but isn't too interesting

it was boring, the thumb is for the design.

this strange atmospherics is ace..

Superb

Very very cool !

So, I had to watch the MPEG-2 video. :( It was OK.

Like the design and the "cleaniness" - music is nice too.

Made a Youtube Rip on my HD channel:

Youtube(HD)

hmmmm no.

excellent!

Very cool demo, great 3d and very nice music.

proper

The 3d stuff is a bit ugly, but design-wise cool enough, and the music is quite sick.

Could have ruled, but the great music builds up to four stiff steps forward and the end.

that soundtrack really makes this demo.
coincidentally i bumped into "carbon based lifeforms - silent running" that sounds a lot like it. who inspired who? :D

^ To be fair I think Incyber inspired this soundtrack much more than anything from CBL.

Weak thumb for clean design, music, and quality modeling (at least for the time). Monochromatic textures saved the visuals from feeling overly dated, but timid direction and the flat emotional tension inevitably leave one cold.

shiva, pandur and a-move please forgive me for my dumb out of frustration down thumb 10 years ago :(

i liked parts of it

Nice music by Ambient-Move and really nice visuals :)

A very late thumbs up for cyber-crab

Win10 64bit GTX960M (laptop)
Cant run the party version, nor can I run the fixed version because of
" Not all wgl extensions could be loaded. Required: nVidia gef3 or better. "

Geforce 3 => February 27, 2001; 22 years ago (wikipedia)
GTX960M => September 18, 2014; 8 years ago (wikipedia)

I just downloaded this Bm-interceptor_party_high.mpg and watched it. I like it :-)

Thumbing down a demo made 19 years ago because it doesn't run on a GPU released 10 years later, on an OS that did not even exist when that demo was made.

We have a winner!
