Shiny intro - great one man show !

Youtube

I didn't like the first scene, which looked like so many other 4k prods in concept (albeit a bit more shiny). But when the arrows appeared, you had me. The rest was lovely!

From what I heard you coded until early morning to finish it - wow. But it was worth it, it seems - congrats on your win!

Mostly just for the awesome arrows scene.
But a 2 minute flyby of some reflective spheres?

beautiful maths.

Nice trip. Great visual. Fitting sound track. Good direction. But... :

1- Must turn Aero off in Win7 + Nvidia. Black screen if you don't
2- Seems to be locked at 30FPS for the most part
3- In the flying arrows section, FPS drop to 20 @ only 70% GPU & 5% CPU usage
4- All pretty and shiny, but lack a bit in the soul and personality department

I guess a thumb up is still appropriate considering this has been done solo.

The first 2 minutes have been nice, but too long and boring because it's just the same scene again and again. But I could feel there will come something more and you caught me right after with the arrow scene an everything else which was following. Really great production and a worthy winner! Congrats!

Decently pretty reflections... that I think we've been seeing for the last few years already? Black backgrounds especially in an abstract visual style like this are so cheap, could those be ditched already? And does every single hue need to be on screen at once, or rotated through at least? Very pretty rendering but absolutely no sense in using it. The music was garbage too; boring 4klang presets and other equally bad sounding instruments, and everything drowned hideous reverb. Piggy because there's at least a decent amount of content here, even though it does feel like a mere 4k intro with 2x more (if that) content.

rulez added on the 2015-04-08 04:41:08 by elblanco elblanco
Music is phenomenal. I think art direction and graphics are well done and transitions were smooth. I just feel that the scenes were a bit drawn out too long, especially the bubble scene. Overall, I do feel its deserving of its award. Well done.

was nice to watch .. just too much marbles for my taste :)
liked the scrollin part .. the arrow part reminds me of a prod we made
yrs ago .. just without the reflecting cubes :)

and to noby or nooby .. release some kickass, song build with your own
4klang instruments, sounding just as good as sounds from the serum synth,
mindblasting us .. if you can't .. then stop spittin on others about their
4k synth songs!! .. noob!

damn i hate this mr.knowitall-wannabe bullshit talk of non musucians thinkin they know everything about music&sound ..

Basically what Virgill said.
Just the moment i thought "Thats it" with the first scene, the intro changes and hits you in the face. Awesomeness.

I caught some very weird illness and are in bed all the time, but now that i started the pc once i wanted to see if this prod is uploaded here yet and so i just read your comments, let me answer some of them:

About the problem with BlackScreen...it´s a known Problem with MultipleMonitorSetups, other prods had it too. The only solution to this is running it on a SingleMonitor and to set your Resolution to the one of the executeable.
(just turn off your other Monitors in your Catalyst/ControlPanel and set the resolution)
The resolution of the executeable in this zip is 720 == 1280*720.
In my case setting the resolution of my primaryMonitor to 720p works, no need here to turn off the other ones, so you might want to try that first.

About low framerate...i coded it on an AMD Radeon HD7970 and all of the scenes run at 60fps here, except the arrows-part which is around 30fps, but never below.

About the first part...it was planned to be shortened, but i didnt find the time anymore, as i ran into weirdest bugs and fixed those until the very last minute.
Also it has reflections, yes, but also refractions, which in my eyes lets it look good. Maybe have another look with this knowledge.

One of the weird bugs had to do with my refractions-code, so maybe my fix destroyed it somwhow, i have to rewatch myself first, but as said i am completely ill and will go back to bed in some minutes.

I want to thank las and gopher for helping with the weird bugs, also everyone who moral-supported me, so i didnt give up at some point.
This was the hardest prod i ever did so far...it misses like 9 parts i wanted to use, as i prototyped em in a new shadertool, and i made the mistake to presume it would render in the resolution i give it, which it doesnt, but i found out only like 3 weeks before the party, so i had to come up with new material. Also running into these weird bugs i never had before in my life, only fixing them some few minutes before the compo started, led to some bugs in the parts there are and i didnt find time to put the planned EndpartBlockOfEffects. The exe is just 6.4kb so you see i had planned to fill the full allowed 8 minutes.
I will do a final of this for sure, with resolution-requester (so you dont have to set the resolution manually in your driver anymore to avoid BlackScreen) and some of the missing stuff and bugfixes etc. etc.
But dont await it to turn up any soon, as i will start a new job next week, also this made more trouble than ever thought already. ;)
Well-deserved winner of the compo.
rulez added on the 2015-04-08 17:43:25 by Korvkiosken Korvkiosken
all the scenes except the arrows-part have refractions btw.

To Annikras: Thanks for your capture once again. :) But i hope you dont mind me exchanging the link to my capture once i uploaded it to youtube. Yours is a bit messy, mine took like 9 hours and yielded 6gb of video-data, but looks like realtime this way ofcoz, no idea yet what youtube will make of this or if it even eats 6gb split into 4 files, so maybe i´ll exchange it maybe not! ;)

A pleasure to watch.
rulez added on the 2015-04-08 23:00:49 by Blueberry Blueberry
The black screen problem on multimonitor+aero setups is common to dx9 intros - you just need to reset the device a while after creating it (ie, do the setup, generate music/stuff and then reset device).

I have somewhat mixed feelings about this. Some nice scenes, a decent amount of contents (and doing raymarched text takes some space), but some scenes (especially the first) are clearly running for too long, and the colors (especially the trsi logo scene) can be quite harsh.
Weak thumb

rulez added on the 2015-04-09 00:55:33 by Anat Anat
Very nice rendering, and for once there's a size limited intro that looks different from the usual raymarching fare. However, I have a serious problem with the lack of proper camera work. This "tracking an object on the screen, even when the camera has to almost perform a 180-flip across an axis" is really ugly, and it completely destroys the experience for me.

About the name:
The sum of digits (checksum, or as formula q(n) ) of 2015 is 8.
q(2k15) = 2+k+1+5 = 2+1+5+k = 8k
Intro-Name should have got "q(2k15)" only maybe...we´ve been in time-pressure and pretty drunk! ;)
Nice!

its getting boring too fast
added on the 2015-05-18 22:36:40 by RA RA
RA: i know, but i never finished it to any level this was supposed to get!
The Problem about making it like it was always supposed to be lies in me having a new Job and not finding time right now!
Thanks for leaving a pig, imma make it as supposed at some point of time and you will upthumb it, i am sure about this! :)
Only thing left to me is: The Timeline to make the proper full version will end if the millenium turns to 3000 and me still alive! For Real: this year or never for the final, there WILL BE! (yours "c0c00n"!, was my nickname since 1992, only learned about a PC-Group with the same "genius" name in 2005 first and resisted to rename (i have been first! :p) and only changed it when i joined the REAL TRSI in 2009 finally!)
Unsubliminal message to las and scenesat:
The mouse-cursor in my intros is hidden by now...also in this one!
But only once all of the precalc is done and the actual intro really starts! ;)
For obvious reasons: Abuser of Intro (damn Addicts out there! ;) ) shall have the chance to do whatever he wants until it´s done...or if not possible, atleast see if the computer is still alive! ;)
(A Computer without MultiCore-CPU would need like what?..2-3 mins to precalc music alone, as it´s 5+ mins long and was planned to get 8mins long!)
I never cared, but atleast you know my code-design-choice now! ;) :p
and i never released any version for non-multicores! ;) dumb me! fut4re will giev!
8k. "Okay" I thought, "let's fire up that youtube video". Then: "woow... shiiinyyy O_O..." then the arrows came... "wow, even a multipart in 8k!" then scene after scene unrolled, all different, all shiny and slick. Thinking about my graphics card I knew better than to download and try to run it. But nevertheless I did it because I wanted to try to have it run on that old mare of mine and - lo and behond - it actually *works* on my old AMD 6950 and not only that, I get a "decent" 20-30 fps!!!
