what's the matter with you people? - terrible framerate on the procedural growing stuff, and crash in the end - and I still absolutely love it! Creepy as hell in parts. Very upthumbable!

not so fun on my 8800 gts, but from what i saw i'd say it's a very very very elaborate 3d flyby, and nothing more.

now add a story please.
rulez added on the 2008-08-27 15:35:50 by paniq paniq
paniq: whats with the recent story (or lack thereof) obsession? :) your demoblog reads like youre criticising literature, not demos.
which is even stranger seeing as your own productions arent exactly the height of narrative flow..

Creepy. Good visuals & music, except for the noise at the end. The code seems good but not too interesting. I'd like to see more effects I guess :)
It crawled a bit on my 8800gts, especially the baby scene which went to 2fps.
I guess there actually is a story, but I didn't get it. Not that I care much about stories in demos either...

Extremely high quality visuals, but it saddens me that they don't run very well on my 8800gts either :(

Hello,

I'm rendering the video now. The 2-3 fps rendering in the end is an extreme bug I found in the end. You'll need to wait till the final. Basically the demo runs 20 fps in fullHD on demobox, except the last scene where it drops to 9. It's completely done for GPU so it scales quite nicely (except the last scene I guess).

Couple words from me here.
First of all I want to thank blz because basically it's his design and direction.
After that I would like to thank Witja and Rork for their work, and apologize for not using all their stuff or using it in a wrong way.
Next is xenusion who saved me with his textures. The demo looked completely gray before that.
What you basically see was coded by our new coder misz - and this goes for SSAO, all the attractor and shader stuff.

No we need to rest a little because for me and Kinga it was two years of constant work.
added on the 2008-08-27 17:53:05 by bonzaj bonzaj
<lame joke>this demo has a lot of bugs!</lame joke>

the shaders really punish my 8600 but the 3d is great and a typical plastic show :)

This is my personal fave from the competition, with its powerful epic feel, large scale effects, gripping direction and an immersive atmosphere. It's everything I want in a demo!

I also have to give particular respect to Rork and Xenusion. The textures here were outstanding and, in my opinion, the visual quality was well beyond the average scene standard.

what have you done.. thats quite awesome, i'm not exactly in love with insects, not nearly, but that demonstration is some peak i didnt expect after seeing the more or less not to the end constructed/polished winner demo. keep on making these masterpieces even if it take years and the impact isnt as much as you expected. Your group+demos are on another level.

Good demo. Someone should change the screenshot.
Should have won, yeah. Somehow it looks unfinished, the kickass soundtrack drives the demo and makes it look like something awesome will happen. Needs more pink. I have cockroaches at home, so I can't thumb it down.

very good of course, but

1) these plastik demos look quite the same, and sound _exactly_ the same
2) apparently needs a video card factory with a power plant to run (next time try to code for gma950, for a change)
3) i can imagine more entertaining demos

thus, no thumb

Had the chance now to test it on my computer and to my surprise it was running considerably well (on "SD" nonetheless) on my one and a half year old mid-prize rig (XPsp2, 8600 GTS, 2 gig ram). Most of the time it was around 20 fps, the last scene around 10fps - so it was quite comparable to what was shown on the big screen. Minus the HD :-)

So thanks a lot for the SD-option - watching this realtime at home made my day!

Looks awesome but i prefer more demoish (quite odd to say that when this _is_ a demo, but anyway) stuff usually. Music is quite pro but tonight i'm tired of orchestral stuff, maybe i like it better some other day.

Still thumb up of course for the effort.

perfect use of 3d techniques. the music works well. if they supposedly do orchestral a lot, so what, other groups do techno, breaks, or d&b a lot. i think that those who deem this mediocre are just setting their expectations higher than "linger in shadows". patiently awaiting final version which will hopefully support radeon as well.

super cool and really really impressive demo!

best executed ssao i have seen so far. beautifull sequence of scenes, and a plus for not attempting to put a story on it but just pure beauty (demos are not movies). it all linkns together to me, perhaps is the music? i have to agree though that the mzk is very similar to fainal audition and lis.

bonzaj, should you have replaced the torii with cubes you would have won. what a crazy world this of demoscene :( and i'm sorry for not have voted. shit.

Thumb up for technical merit and all the hard work that went into this.

The demo itself did not do much for me. Music on the verge of utter pretentiousness, the the demo itself is a mixture of the well known plastic kitsch style and something which appears slightly plagiaristic to me. In my opininion the worst plastic demo ever.
rulez added on the 2008-08-29 01:51:34 by Calexico Calexico

To me, this is not the usual Plastic style I expected. I like the other demos they are well known for (incl. LiS) way more. But the music was epic as always, the visuals were cool, most parts were awesomly executed. The only thing that pissed me of was the credits/endpart.... This is not a trailer for movies like "Seven", you know, this is a Plastic demo. For me, it would have been much more impressive to end the demo with a creditpart more calm.

at first, it looked like the thing plastic did on the ps3. looks like they took some cues from ASD on coherency (compare with final audition). didn't see much pink....

~20 fps on a gtx280, fullhd, 0aa. any way to optimize?

also, credits need to be readable. dont put them on seizure mode, it ruins the fancy-ness.

I don't like the part of million tori, because music seems to be inadequate and cliche.
Demo message could be much stronger and interesting, but! The story rises a lot of question: what happened to Mr. Squigly and Mr. Red Blood-drop ?
Why these "guys" are escaping into a void finally ?
Now more seriously - what we are really afraid of ? Bugs, complicated geometry, our biology ?
I think the conclusion should rather be: we are afraid of... tommorow (or something unusual). Would be much striking in my opinion.
In other words: I'm not satisfied!

Navis: surely we all are thinking about something different than "usual" plastic style, and most probably something unexpected will happen sooner or later :)

on the other hand, im still dreaming of something really epic, and epic with a capital E :) and so far, music was so damn imperfect(if not to say worse) that it hurts, so another thing would be to make a demo with really great music score.

rulez added on the 2008-09-02 19:17:15 by loaderror loaderror
For super epicness I think it could work with slower camera movements. There is a bit too much technotiming in here.

I'd love some torchlight style look in the bug parts. Like if you were in an actualy sewer. I think you manage it in the first scene.. You go :"there is a face, but.. no.., what the hell is that crawling on the face??1 aiieiiee". Eerie stuff.

The bugs in the tunnel are perhaps too visible to be really creepy and crawly.

Those caterpillar models are incredibly cool and I like those squiggly physics.

Now imagine if those toruses were flying evil bugs?

You didn't make this demo in 8 weeks! Liars!

too many comments to read in order to find out if I was the only one who found this, in spite of being technically advanced, really boring after the promising start. I didn't feel connection between the pompous hollywood action movie music and visuals, other than they were synced. and what was this demo about, what was the connection between all that realistic imaginery?
added on the 2008-09-07 20:01:20 by tempest tempest
I got the feeling that people are judging this demo nitpickingly by a different standard than any other demo...

added on the 2008-09-07 22:35:14 by tempest tempest
I also wonder why people wants to find connections between scenes in beautiful imagery based demos and they don't do the same on those that .. let's be polite now... have "ugly" rendering. Can't beauty not be codepr0n too or what?
added on the 2008-09-08 21:30:45 by iq iq
i guess the trick is that some demos (like stargazer) dont even try to pretend to have a connection, while some demos have solid design but somehow they end up disjointed (like this or media error)
added on the 2008-09-08 21:32:59 by Gargaj Gargaj
maybe it is the human content type that makes you expect a story? You expect a story when you see a baby, but not from a bunch of cubes. Then it is all abstract again. So if plastic did something without living characters, then stuff would be different.
added on the 2008-09-08 23:01:15 by loaderror loaderror
iq: easy - when a demo, like this one, offers photo realistic rendering of real objects and movie-like music, then most people associate it with what it looks like - a short film, and thus the hunt for "meaning" and "story" begins.

Personally I would say that this demo has too much realism for my taste. I do like the last scene very much thanks to the colors and shinyness of the shader, but I would have appreciated less jumping around with the camera. My main problem with getting excited about this kind of demo is that I seldom think "how did they do that? Show me how!". Instead I think "this looks like a game, they probably read some CG papers". This might be a stupid and ignorant explanation, but at least it is an honest description of how I feel about it.

Taste aside, I have no problem in acknowledging the very high standard of code and graphics in general.

(Besides, rumours have it that you have an intimate relationship with the Maya API. If so, extra thumb for the pain it must have inflicted. :) )

The lyricism of the soundtrack feels so weird in combination with the utter lack of lyricism of the visuals. That's a strong disconnect I really have issue reconciling in the two latest plastic productions. It feels so weird too, to have abstract models and scenes rendered in a "realistic" manner, to a point where it's almost pornographic.

added on the 2008-10-15 17:02:16 by bonzaj bonzaj
I think the version from NVscene actually "ran" (or rather creeped) on my system, the fixed version crashes after closing the dialog. ATI HD 2600 XT, Athlon XP 1900+ (i know it won't run fast, but you want bugreports :P)
Saga Musix: interesting - NVscene version had "We currently support only GeForce8 and newer" dialog.
I'm perfectly sure that it wouldn't run on any ATI hardware. I just received feedback that it works on HD3xxx with some minor visual bugs. I guess HD2600 does not support vertex texturing in GL. But I might be wrong.
added on the 2008-10-16 00:06:45 by bonzaj bonzaj

fantastic job on the final. noticeably smoother practically everywhere. and readable credits!

Now that I think about it, you guys took debris to a whole new level, got some ASD inspiration, and wrapped it up in your trademark eye candy and music.

Thanks for something that REALLY LOOKS NICE on my system. 10100 frames, full hd no AA, gtx 280, ~30+ fps
Im happy with my GeForce 7600 Go but this demo works bit too slow on it! Next time try to make it a bit faster for bit older cards i dont want to use videos!
added on the 2008-10-21 08:56:38 by MuffinHop MuffinHop
Time for a delayed thumb now I can watch realtime - it's nice and smooth now on the HD4850. 10700 frames in full hd, Vista64 (somehow much faster than in WinXP), but I prefer the framerate of hdready mode, the quality difference is minimal.
I guess it's some of the highest quality realtime rendering I've seen so far.

Yes, demo is dark at the beginning, but you should still be able to make out the two scenes. If not, then you've screwed up your MPEG-2 encoding colorspace conversion! Enjoy!

If you kkapture Into The Pink with full quality full AA turned on, one of the scene doesn't render properly and all you see is the lightmap. Fun! So if the caterpillars falling down the shaft look red/orange/multicolor, back you settings down (or back off of the LSD).

As usual, Plastic delivers brilliant music and unbelieveable graphics.

Demo as great as only Plastic could make!
Rich in graphics, unique style of music and overall design.
Plastic (.pl), simply!

Well. I do not know what the authors were up to. Seems the idea was perhaps to shock. Or to disgust the ppl somekind.

The intro and the credits part were the best. Seriously.

Pig for the effort, I respect.

One of the best Demos ever. I watch it every Year. But with my GTX 1080 and 382.33 there are many funny artifacts during this Demo.
