i'm in envy
now give me a video!
now give me a video!
worship the cube!
great
very nice
what zeebr said
yeah \o/
holy cube!!!
well, kewl stuff once again :)
love the soundtrack :D
love the soundtrack :D
It begins and ends with ... THE CUBE!
cool visuals and tune.
all glory to the cube
all glory to the cube
oh yeah one of the best this year
Great!!
at first i thought boring surface reconstructions but the farer the demo got the more my respect and love for farbrauschs style in demos got and i went went into a smooth state of extasis.. thanks again, and again and again and again..
Gewürfelt, nicht gerührt
like it a lot. pleasant music and interesting visuals.
mega! release a video plz.
video is on the way (do I smell ryg's laptop burning?), youtube etc. will come tomorrow night when I get back home and am able to do good 1080p versions ;)
really cool effects!
they're back!!!!
sweet
oh yeah!
okay, recording a video is officially a complete PITA on this laptop. will do it when i'm home.
Runs very smooth on my laptop.
Coder colors, cubes, trippy effects. It has that cool oldschool early windows demo vibe.
The only downside is the the big stoic dichotomy between the sound and visuals, that doesn't work very well for me.

Until the final recording is uploaded by FR to YouTube, here's my recording so far (only 720p):

Right now YouTube is still rendering the HP version, so it will appear later.

So *that's* what's inside a typical rotating cube.
Wow wow. That is nice.

certified fresh!
.best .farbrausch .effect .ever .!
(+ yay for the coder color scheme, could have been the ultimate "minus" prod just for that ;))
(had to watch in 640x480 on my *cough* brand new 9800gt, though)

Nice to see some fresh air breezing at the farbrausch effect corner :) paniq's music rules as always :D
i really like this one!
nice, the end seems a bit rushed and the music is imho. not up to par.
Some nice visuals. I would give it a thumb up if it would be a 64k-tro - nearly 8MB with practically no textures and objects - so just piggy.
Fresh.. ish. Mostly feels like a 4k (except for the soundtrack), but who am I to comment on demosizes (*cough*)
Brilliant!! My son wants to "buy one of these balls" :)
like :)
Nice 64k-intro with 6Mb MP3...
Anyway, welcome Werkkzeug4! Hope, werkkzeug3 will be released someday.

At first I though "Oh no... This has to sucks", but I must say you won me over. Nice trip.
Very neat.
Really nice
<3
Awesome
very refreshing! nice style.
Really cool

wow!
fr does something effect-based - that's new :)
Weird in a very positive way! Glad I didn't see a bunch of regular rotating cubes. Definitely a fresh look at this demoscene cliche. :)
love it!
awesome music. the effect also ran rather well which was a big surprise.
something *new*
That's a pretty nifty thing here.
However, tune and fx doesn't fit too well.

Very nice indeed
Enjoyed it more the 2nd time, esp the music.
Definitely rocks!
Nice. Screenshot really doesnt do this prod justice it deserves.
Everything makes sense now
Interesting visuals.
nice. i like the not-so-organic organicness of it :D
good fx
Didn`t expect to love such type of production, but i really do. I can watch it over and over again. U folks are worse then drugs :)
Some cool effects, but the visual presentation was not to my tastes. The music was outstanding though...a hint of Polka Bros and Hardfloor.
what noby, xernobyl & pantaloon said.
Or something like this.
Or something like this.
I wish there would be some nice transitions and more color scheme consistency between the scenes (and an exclusive soundtrack), but it's a nice twist on an old effect, so thumbs up.
pure demoscene shit at its best! also nice: finally i have something which makes use of my new hardware :)
neat
i really like the dissolving colours
but for a demo called cube it contains a lot of spheres :P

well this was neat. messy, but neat.
What thumb up agreers said!
Pretty
Dig the style!
mega
damn I feel really old by the old heroes who brought me this nice demo! thumb!
Feel fresh ! Nice compo ! Strange but beautifull with nice colors waves.
absolutely brilliant. i always suspected there were spears hiding away in them there "cubes" :) i hope this works on my new ATI system when it arrives.
*spears == spheres
Really nice work, great crocodile/snake skin shader. Direction and music are also solid.
Damn good!
the first minute was so so, but then I was riding on one of the most beautiful shader storms made so far. A perfect example for wonderful realtime art supported by a great soundtrack.
Cube Power :D
nice!
Bow down to teh cube!
Some coder colored scenes and many great ones, quite cool tune as well, yay!
Sehr geil.
very nice, congrats!
Nice "Comeback"! Really liked the structures and the "textures" in that one part.
Amazing as always. Soundtrack wasnt obnoxious = great. Imagery = amazing.
reptile skin shader <3
Yay!
As smooth as you could hope for, Very powerful with excellent transition effects.
The music is pretty nice but I found the demo quite boring.
Quadratur des Kreises
Luv it, especially the distinct shade of aquamarine/blue the cube has, reminds me of.........well, debris I think ;-)

Damn, it freezes my MacBook Pro, but extrapolating from the youtube blur, I am going to love it.
beauty!
:)
Great! :)
wow! that stuff rocks! (=
I liked the second half :) not really the style I enjoy most (I am no coder so I am clueless ;) ) but this is really fresh and neat.
Any technical explanation on what you're doing there? Are you raytracing those plane intersections or...?
outstanding. worley noise deformation somehow?
nice cube
I.... like..... this.......... .......... .......... cube. I said it!
Fantastic demo, of course!
Fantastic demo, of course!
great fx, almost forgot about the transitions they were that smooth, well deserved winner :)
VIDEO PLZ!!!!!!! :)
Great stuff. Also, it runs very smooth on my Youtube.
uf!
Great!
Good enough for a thumb, but a bit messy overall
good effects and good music, although they dont fit that well together, and I am also missing a lot of sync for that matter.
Oh yeah, this fucking owned!!!
and:
Word!!
and:

if it doesn't run at all OH COME ON IT'S ALMOST 2010, GET A SHADER LEVEL 3 GRAPHICS CARD ALREADY! this is real time, not amateur hour/

good Frequency demo except the average music
Mind blowing visuals with a bit dull track.
me likes it.
at last a fr production that I can thumb up with respect
killpixel power
Very nice style, i really liked the visuals and the colours and such. I enjoy this style more than - say - "Masagin" (I felt like this was shorter and more to the point, focusing on the essentials). The music was definitely not bad I think it would've been possible for me to be a bit more blown away by it given the awesome visuals :).
A bit depressing that I couldn't get more than 1-2 fps when running the demo. I couldn't even get it to run smoothly on 1080p from YouTube ;D. Then again, I _am_ running it on my laptop.
Pretty good. I love cubes. I love spinning ones too.
This is love.
This is love.
cool demo. cool idea. deserved winner.
I'm puzzled. I kinda like the music but not the demo, and I don't think it will stand up good at all to the test of time... maybe I'm just expecting too much.
bah, wtf, you made a good effort
How is this effect done?
First of all you need to notice that no geometry changes at all. Basically we use two different meshes: a very regular grid and a very irregular mesh that was created by randomly slicing a cube.
Then there is a pixelshader that calculates a potential field of 4 points. The potential is shredded with sin() and modulo and then all pixels inside a certain range are rejected with "clip()". As a final touch, pixels near the border are tinted.
To make it more interesting, we first introduce a vertex shader that wobbles the mesh a bit.
The cell like effect is made by adding a texture to the potential field.

.. and don't forget to add lighting, SSAO, DOF and Hypnoglow at gusto to make it look badass ;)
First ran the demo on my screen's default resolution and received a low frame rate in some screens, then read the readme and reran it under a lower resolution and here is the result:
Thec has a point.
I'm bored of cubes and I didn't like the title but effects are great.
WARNING! THIS IS NOT A NAME VOTING! WARNING!
Very nice, I love the feel of this.
I felt like killing myself at the beginning with the spinning cube and then... something great happened!
Sick effect, with a good soundtrack!
Looks and sounds great.
I.. just.. love.. cubes. The beginning is for too much "wobbling" for me but roughly between 1:35-2:40 mins and the last 25 secs or so were just amazing! Thank you again guys ;)
Creative coding.
The awesomeness of cubes ^^
cewl.
great effect (s), nice music.
Maybe a little lack of sincronism to break the sensation of "the-effect-flyby"

Chaos: since you started explaining how this thing works, how about AO ? how do you do that?

navis: basically a straight implementation of the ideas in the "starcraft 2 effects and techniques" paper (http://www.docshare.com/doc/195415/StarCraft-II-Effects-and-Techniques). i'm not really happy with my implementation though, it's pretty sloppy in places and gobbles up too much gpu time.
Good stuff!
Well, this was... I mean, I don't mind experiment-demos at all, but I didn't like the colors, the music or the effect all that much. Also, how it manages to drop a significant amount of frames on my PC (Core i7, 6 GB RAM, GeForce 280 GTX) is sort of beyond me. Perhaps Windows 7 is to blame.
It all fits together!
Great effect !
Cool effect, great design, brilliant music - awesome (dude)! Thanks :)
Can't say I like this, rather boring demo IMHO. Didn't like the music either so piggie it is.
Didn't do much for me either.
Effects!
- I like the idea: Cube demo which is not about cubes
- very nice effect, unfortunately the only one there and repeated
- good music
- nice colors and shading
- first werkkzeug4 production ;o)

hmm, a bit too boring demo with an edgy colour scheme and ok music, piggie
take an idea and go all out with it. well done.
Piggy
yes. Far away from games, doing a demo.
the werkkzeug4 showreel is here! kudos for pulling this together, looking forward for the fr releases in 2010. :)
oh, this is not a showreel, just a particularly sparkly one trick pony :)
best demo at tUM - nice effect.
Maybe a bit winamp-pluginish, but I can't resist those beautiful visuals :)
Psychedelic and awesome
But not the best

Not bad, but a bit too single-sided maybe.

good one, some of the transforming objects really look great.
Kewl effect
the effect: kudos.
the composition: so-so (i got bored a couple of times and the colors aren't ideal imho)
the music: nice.
solid prod.

oh HELL yeah. And no surprise that this is coming from an 18+ year veteran. Major thumbs.
winner entry!
wasn't bad. I liked the psychedelic feeling of it but other than that it was a pretty average demo. also the music was really monotonous and boring in my opinion.
simplistic, yet the look is great
I like it, now let's see it in 4k.
trixter: 20 years now:
http://www.pouet.net/prod.php?which=25336
but 'the cube' could have been done by a newbie.

Really nice one, enjoyed it a lot in the compo and still do, which isn't the case for many compo winners IMO ;)
I'm glad that imagination and creativity still counts that much. Enjoyed it very much on the bigscreen!
clear winner because of lack of real competition. as 'debris' was a demo in a size of an intro this is a 4k intro wrongly oversized to a demo. just a piggy.
absolutely forgetable. c'mon farbrausch, you can do a lot better than this!
ps. shader3 my ass - there's capped ;)

Liked it, disagree to the comment that a newbie could produce some of those effects. Music was boring
Shoulda looked at who posted that comment /facepalm
to AzzaroMWI:
"... as 'debris' was a demo in a size of an intro this is a 4k intro wrongly oversized to a demo. just a piggy."
please show me, how to create this nice demotrack in 4k?

reeto: seeing and hearing dozens of amazing gfx/msx tricks from farbrausch in previous releases makes your question rhetorical.
big disapointment!
good to see chaos making fx again, and good modern use of some classic stuff (metaballs, "alpha test" manipulation).
however, that ssao.. no. :) just manages to show off all the ways in which ssao doesn't work - very artefacty.

AzzaroMWI: "you can do a lot better than this" < very bad attitude. You can do a lot better than that. ;)
Fresh! Didn't like the beginning, but the effect is getting much better in the middle (when the music uses whales sounds). Music is quite cool, although i would have prefer a better sync... In the end, I like a lot the demo feel.... that's for sure a demo, not a movie/game's theme replicant. Running smoothly on ati 5770 but almost unviewable on a 8600 GM.
gets the thumb, but the colors were somewhat ghastly in places
HYPERCUBE
Beautiful shaders. Music fits well + what RA said perhaps due to the size of the music file?
@lx: buy a zotac geForce gtx285. worx fine on this :)
@.reEto, well, if you can explain me how to plug a gtx 285 on a dell xps notebook, that would be great! :p
Kick-ass effects and great style. Thanks for this.
Hmm... there is definately somthing good here, but there is definately also something not good here, hmm... kind of have to second farfars 4k point :) But freshnes and über kool sound is always worth a...
Nice soundtrack.A bit to less variation, but better one good effect then hundred boring effects.
Great!
What RA said :/
I think this is good work, but not cool for farbrausch. I feel Concept, but graphic - some effects maybe very hard workly. I like old work but this not index of expirience.
Sound synhro - weel. Music fun.
Cube and some objects looks like trouble`s mesh in OGL-tutorials.
I mark this work for "OK" only beyond prestige of the group. Maybe I not good on demoscene-making, but I have demoscene spirit and art-feeling.

That was fresh ! Nice Style and a cool Tune ! :)
I absolutely love how, the more status you have as person or group, people put their efforts into interpreting every single fart you drop. If you have a problem with overrating others, you need to adjust your attitude. But don't tell anybody else what to do or not - will you?
Demo or die. That's the spirit. Don't waste your energy on yelling. If you think this is shit - use the proper word: SHIT. But stop the fuck telling others to fulfill your absurd expectations.
Kindergarten.

beautiful coderporn and a nice soundtrack, but i can't stop thinking of ikea furniture throughout the whole thing.

Always good to see a nod to the good old days.
Thumbs up, Soldier! :)

Well, what rpfr said, and there's nothing really stunning technically here, just "yay they finally discovered raymarching too".. :)
still the music is cool (although without it i can guess it would potentially fit in 4k).
but anyway, debris is worth a second thumb up so i put it here. :)

nystep, didn't you read any of the posts here? no raymarching whatsoever. these are triangles.
ah, and there is a crash: can't switch to another program and get back to the demo.. please use opengl ;)
and no i didn't read the posts.
and no i didn't read the posts.
but yes, i can guess this must have been quite complicated to code actually without raymarching.. hope you had fun..
that one as an raymarching function, that would also be a very very nice achievement..
again very nice demo.. and the technique is fun cause no one did that (obvious) stuff before..

great design. i really liked it.
great idea/concept, nice realisation and amazing effects.
The green part looked nice, but this didn't do much for me. Music felt very repetitive, visuals were clearly very nicely rendered but I didn't find them very interesting.
Great style and colors, eyecandy.
Could use more sync and camera movement.

This was awesome, really
A distinctly 4k-ish feel (single effect, potential fields), but without the size limitation on the design and music parts. I like it. :)
Solid.

when I read this I realize that 4k expectations of today are quite high.
After the pixel-shader boom, I'm curious to see if 4k will still evolve in this way for the next ten years, or if we already have hit a limit...
gut
Yeeeeeeeeeeeah! Great. Can't work out what's going on in this demo, and it's amazing for it!
as Stingray says.
RAW! RAW!
Couldn't agree more, it's unprecedented.
Nice, but a bit pale compared to Debris.
Dazzling! The great return of farbrausch!
great
If I can't watch the video with highest quality in full frame, I suspect my computer is too slow for the demo :P .. anyhow, great show!
awesome effects!
.kkube!
wow, that was ugly
eyecancer cube colors

Awesome demo.

Very cool and original concept, but I would like a higher quality capture as my computer cannot run the demo in real-time (and it says my graphics card is too old :()
some great parts and some ugly ones. oink.
rewatched in realtime.
some effects remind me of skin colour changing possibility on wild life animals.
top stuff!

I would like to see more cubes in this demo, but thumbs up anyway, at least the sphere is a "perfect body" in a three dimensional space. Your demo paints the spheres as imperfect, and this agrees with the biblic concept of a perfect creation made imperfect because the sin.
like that its not that "epic"! seems rather oldschool from the concept :]
But Kickass tune! Really nice fx! colors hmm okish..

Interesting effect, the direction needed more love though.
hmm... maybe not the fr level, but not ad 64k anyway...
wait, what's the size?.. 8 286 656 bytes?!!!???
OH SHI~

it's not about the size
"the fr level" doesn't involve creating brand new fx then?
This effect must have been fun to code. Good show.
"the fr level" means cool demos in small size.
you do realise that most of the gigantic 8mb size comes from the music, and besides, what the fuck does it matter, just go ahead and thumb down nearly every other fr prod as well...
gets better on rewatch.
wooo i didn't expected some parts will look so great ^^
A little bit repetitive, but with such a dynamic music, the final effect is simply great.
Maybe not for a very often watching...

The cube does the trick
Fucking amazing
!
again: how you squeezed that out of this simple(but great) idea is pretty awesome..
Excellent. Paniq's music sets the pace really well, as usual, and visuals follow suit!
good looking but soulless.
I like it, but it stops being a cube after a few seconds.
CUBEZ

Forgotten thumb goes here.
Also, for the non-believers who think that the cube stops being a cube: You can find the source file for this demo on Farbrausch's Github repository. This should prove to you that the cube never ceases to be a cube. You're merely inside of it which keeps changing.

CUBES!
Actually this looked nice the first time I watched it, albeit it was slow. Now with my newish computer it runs well. Yay!

Mind blowing. Runs perfect in Nvidia 3D Vision. Almost brought my laptop's GTX 460M to its knees.
Keeps moving and looks interesting at times.
The secret world hiding inside a cube! I knew it!
Fantastic trip. Ace visuals and nice track but I feel paniq could have added more variation to improve it.

Lovely fusion of concept and technology.
real good!
should have thumbed it a long time ago, but didnt.
shame, shame...
shame, shame...
Nice twist on some classix fx and fun surprises of its own.
The music was quite forgettable, but the rest was very cool!
Missing thumb :)
I like that
noep.
pretty nice
Still very impressive in 2019. Pure technical art. Respect.

Still one of my favourites from Farbrausch.
But it somehow stopped starting in fullscreen with the message

Windowed mode works fine, though.
