Great. Stared at the pic for seconds thinking "oh, not tilt-shift again" until I realized that this time it's actually a macro photo. :D

Great effects / rendering / graphics.

Eh I dunno... There's great artwork in there in large amounts, but a few of us have already kinda discussed it and the consensus seemed to be that it'd be a really good ASM/Revision demo, but it just doesn't have the 3DMark "holy shit" effect, and it suffers from a lot of amateurish (demoish) problems like the massively overshot DOF and the spazzy camera/editing.

Gargaj: go make a better demo about it! :)

I did, actually.

A really good Revision/ASM demo? where? :)

You didn't say Revision/ASM, I did.

Revision and ASM are literally the only parties that matter gargaj, gosh!

Hello hello,

Sorry for being silent. It may sound funny but I'm with one leg completely in toilet - I'm acting as a support for a couple of weeks, until it gets stable and crossfire will start to work properly. And there's nothing worse than ATI/AMD fanboy stalking you with emails that we got corrupted by the green side ;D.

Gargaj: just to answer your concerns - it was prepared also for Function but you forgot to play it ;). But seriously. I always wanted to make another demo and not a benchmark, that's why I'm glad that you approached it like this (relief :) ). I was looking for ways to make another demo, but it wouldn't be possible to get any budget if those guys wouldn't show up. That's why we made the demo, and they got their benchmark. Everyone's happy.

But the actual nice thing that I'm preparing is the real executable for the demoscene \o/. Zipped, without DRMs, without saving anything to HDD, kernel driver installment, clean, executed from bats or commandline :D. I just need to fix some lame stuff on our end, and I believe it will be ready for your pleasure in about two weeks. Of course this version will not give you any benchmarking results. I hope that it won't make anyone sad in this place :).

I enjoyed watching the Catzilla benchmark and I'm really glad to hear that a scene release is planned for it. This was already something that I was thinking would be nice to see happen - I found myself wishing I could give it a pouet thumbs up. =)

I'm not sure what you mean here - are you saying we need budgets for demos now or am I misunderstanding? :D

Yeah, currently I got everything mixed up, and It\s pretty hard for me to find time for work anywhere else than office. So I need to pull what I like to do to the office. As simple as that. Yeah it doesn't seem to go completely in hand with old demoscene traditions, but hey - I have two choices: to make demos the way I do it, or to not make them at all. I prefer the first option. Of course I don't convince you to do it my way, since I'm sacrificing a lot of other things than just time (for example I need to use back doors to show our stuff at parties) but we are still doing what we like.

Totally. I've also been hoping to get another project along the lines. But seems like after ROME there's no more interest in demo-projects. However, I'm still coding frameworks and tools just in case someone knocks the door :)

Gargaj: Sorry, I may have been out of the loop lately, but what demo did you do that it's better than Catzilla?
added on the 2012-12-31 13:49:44 by mrdoob mrdoob
mrdoob: yeah :) I call it "trying to fry two pancakes on one pan", but it just needs that "someone knocks the door" ingredient. And that doesn't happen very often :)

Calexito: heh I really didn't know that "Longcat vs. Tacgnol" lolcats meme. It's really similar he he :D. I was afraid that people will compare us to this:

which was an actual reference

Wow, and that was something that I always wanted to happen :)
