a Plant's one year celebration demo
Sorry everybody we might have offended. We love You.

Caero took part in The Party 5 demo competition in
Denmark. This time we were lucky - the demo won the
whole competition.

Caero was not made in a hellish rush, but it sure interfered
our studying. The engine took a half year to finish and the
rest was done in two weeks.

The whole thing runs under Tran's PMode 2.5 and uses EMF's
standard demo libraries, including the module player.
If the demo seems slow on your machine, don't blame your
hardware. It was made on 486/33, so below that it might
be very ugly. The scenes are complex (more than 7000
polygons in the butterfly scene for example) and some
of them have transparent objects and motion blur with colors.
All the regular phong&bump stuff was ready, but not included
as a protest to the common trend.

This demo is the one year tribute production for Plant.
The whole thing started in late 1993 when Mik Sair was
designing an intro for TP4. At some point there was need
for a graphician and music. So Plant was formed Mik Sair
as a coder, Beatnik as a graphician and Edge doing groovy
tunes. A prefix Project was added, because none of us
thought that we would feel like doing this stuff more
than this one intro, Abraham.
After Abraham there were changes - Project was removed from
the name and Edge left with it. Right after Edge was retired
Purple Motion joined. Then the whole fun started.
First there was a friendly little production called Duck
at Juhla in Iisalmi. Then we made Cyboman 3, the First
Actual Parody Demo for Juhla 2«. Assembly was closing in
so we wanted to make a demo. And for our first real demo we
wanted to make something really groundbreaking. It was
a few months of blood and sweat running in the forests and
coast of Southern Finland filming Divine Booty. Unfortunately
our favourite production was disqualified in the competition -
probably because of it's perverse and obscene shots.
For an excuse to attend the Scenario party and get drunk in the
Lahti city we put up Groove Action. This was our last demo
before Caero, our last demo.
So we've made five productions altogether. Here are the authentic
filenames so you can download them them all:
FTJ&EROS.ZIP .. Abraham
FTJ_DUCK.ZIP .. Duck
FTJ_PIKA.ZIP .. Cyboman 3 - The Honeynut Loop
FTJ_LOVE.ZIP .. Divine Booty
FTJ_ACT.ZIP ... Groove Action
FTJ_YMCA.ZIP .. Caero
This year there might be less productions since I (Mik Sair) start
my one year military service. However Dune might manage to put up
some silly productions with Beatnik.
Sincerely,
Mik Sair
