candela strikes back!

yay!
  added on the 2009-05-26 by Puryx  
Cool!

crashes about a minute in on my 9800gtx :(

Well done, but not as good as I had hoped
  added on the 2009-05-26 by hollowman  
nice candela demo, cheesy music at time but it can be overlooked

seconding the kkapture request since i think i have a few glitches
  added on the 2009-05-26 by Confused  
crashes right when the robot is doing the disco move on top of its pillar.
  added on the 2009-05-26 by Hyde  
short but pretty cool
  added on the 2009-05-26 by neptun  
Fucking amazing to see them making a return! A .kkapture would be MUCH appreciated!
  added on the 2009-05-26 by malodix  
Nice, feels just like Fair Play to the Queen Pt.2, be cool to see something different from these guys, but then again why break a winning formula :)
  added on the 2009-05-26 by keito  
Really good. Great graphics, music, design, effects and it even has a SR reference. One of my favorite prods from this year.
  added on the 2009-05-26 by noby  
the shading was flickery, the framerate jittered, and overall it looks like a very forced sequel to Fair Play - sure, some nice stuff, but... it ended when it started to become fun. :(
  added on the 2009-05-26 by Gargaj  
Oh yeah I forgot, way too short :(
  added on the 2009-05-26 by noby  
seems like an unfinished sequel to fair play with some ideas taken from ironman :P needs way more coolness of its predecessor though.
  added on the 2009-05-26 by Maali  
It glitches at least on my graphics card and I didn't like the DOF, but it's still a nice release.
  added on the 2009-05-26 by chock  
At first try there was no sound and I had to kill the process to exit. I was luckier the second time around, but there are still a lot of graphical glitches.

Still a fair demo, a bit random though.
  added on the 2009-05-26 by Rouquemoute  
Fucking rocks again! The return of the ROBO was a nice idea aswell as his new adventures :)

This is a REAL demo! <hint, hint>
  added on the 2009-05-26 by ltk_tscc  
Cool this demo worked like a charm on my 4 years old ati machine :-)
  added on the 2009-05-26 by magic  
p.s. good to see the robot back from fairplay to the queen. You guys should make a *big* demo and win bp or something :)
  added on the 2009-05-26 by magic  
Crashes here halfway as well.

Massive zfighting in some parts on ati... Very nice otherwise but seems a bit unpolished.
  added on the 2009-05-27 by BoyC  
Ran fantastic on my quadcore with 8600GTS, but felt a bit too short and unfinished for a full fledged sequel (heck, Fair Play was even too short imho :))

Still catchy as fuck and the music is (as always) brilliant!
  added on the 2009-05-27 by okkie  
great.

2009 et tal but 50MB for a demo I still think it's too much, when you can have a 720p video for the same size.

  added on the 2009-05-27 by cloaked  
Where is the demo?
  added on the 2009-05-27 by Zplex  
just about ok, saved by good music.

I had problems with the bad texturing, no AA and copy paste idea from the first candel demo with the robot.
  added on the 2009-05-27 by Navis  
Saw this at birdie, thumbs up to you! keep em coming! just hope you diddnt kill Jeff :)
  added on the 2009-05-27 by li||€n  
This made my day! Beautiful!
  added on the 2009-05-27 by Stebo  
It was alright, but looked a bit mid-90s to me and had really poor textures.
  added on the 2009-05-28 by Wade  
Short but fucking sweet. Good music, sync, no z-fighting or any other crap on ati here. Like silk.
  added on the 2009-05-28 by Insectecutor  
Gorgeous!
What Astronaut said. It runs quite smooth on my old busted machine and most scenes are bugged, but it's still pure awesomeness... even if it's 50MB... and someone upload a decent kkap!
  added on the 2009-05-28 by xernobyl  
smiled all the way through. Lovely demo. Too short. Effects a bit weak but hard to criticise something this nice. Liked the music too.
  added on the 2009-05-28 by auld  
super \o/

Obviously looks really really good and deserved to win at Birdie, but it felt rushed. You guys can do better ;)

Sorry, meant to thumb up too ;)
  added on the 2009-05-29 by kor0na  
cool but 100 mb (unziped) is a bit too much ...

Nice one

video anyone?
  added on the 2009-05-29 by lost memories  
I think it glitches badly at my crappy computer, but at least it didn't crash \o/

So I shouldn't judge it until I see it like it's supposed to be :)
  added on the 2009-05-29 by leijaa  
Not bad, but geez big. Love the Second Reality reference. ;)

Nice one... with a lot of wasted potential due to lack of polishing
  added on the 2009-05-31 by TS  
nice. bit short but nice
  added on the 2009-05-31 by Premium  
I really like the visuals .. specially the intro and transition to "demo"... but I can't help to feel that _everything_ in this demo is just animated thru a editor rather than SOME effects being coded... and it's the size that does that.

But I still like it and to top it off it works in wine :-)
  added on the 2009-06-01 by thec  
For all those with the crash, I found a capture on YouTube:

Well, a fitting prequel to FPTTQ. I watched both demos in a row and the transition is smooth.

very stylish and daft-punk-ish prequel to Fair Play, but i liked it better than Fair Play. The transitions are awesome!
  added on the 2009-06-08 by d3adlydessert  
Awesome direction, physics effects, cube screen of oldschool effects with great radial blur rays, great fun, ended up soon. But sooo cool, just like the first one from Candela.
  added on the 2009-06-08 by Optimouse  
I liked! thanks a lot!

Replay (or pre-play) to the queen... nice.
  added on the 2009-06-12 by dixan  
Awesome! Teetow's music is nice as always and it's also nice to see the robot again. :D The lines in the first scene are a bit thin (looks bad without FSAA), but that's just a minor drawback. The rest of this demo is really fresh and nice. :)
  added on the 2009-06-13 by Saga Musix  
First of all, I hate how large some demos are getting. I didn't feel like this was even close to 46.7 megs of content.

The content, however, was very good. Great transitions, fitting music, and I'm a sucker for hexagons ;) . Next time make more resolutions for such a solid prod!!

The music's rather cheesy, and there's a certain overall lack of appeal. Not all bad though. The first part looks fresh, and that scene in the screenshot was cool.

Music is killing, in some parts it reminded me of Harold Faltermyers Top Gun Anthem.. i dont know why, but i like the mood. Demo is too short, but that is nothing new ;)

God I love this thing. Seen it 4 times tonight alone. I could try to explain why but 1) you know why and 2) I'd just fuck up the words.
  added on the 2009-09-16 by trixter  
And if anyone knows why it won't kkapture and how to fix, it would be much appreciated!
  added on the 2009-09-16 by trixter  
A shame it is so short, because the mood and attention to details (and proper sync) is very good.
  added on the 2009-09-29 by gloom  
Another Perfect Candela Demo - Awesome music but so short.. Really sweet one - Thats the kind of demos i really love.. Awesome work - really look forward for a very damn long demo from you.. :D
  added on the 2009-10-09 by SaphirJD  
Nice demo, but really a bitch to kkapture ;)
[For those why try and fail: Don't kkapture launcher.exe, that won't work. Instead, run code.dll directly with parameters like "-w 1280 -h 720 -win", or "-f" instead of "-win" if you like, and hope it doesn't hang (it did here a few times). Also, some of the generated .avi files had corrupt sound, so you might need to mux the sound from the original data file, too ...]
  added on the 2009-10-10 by KeyJ  
Good one...
  added on the 2009-10-11 by Raven^NCE  
Good point about capturing code.dll, but sadly I'm still not able to get it :-/
  added on the 2009-11-02 by trixter  
trixter: here are my steps to success, in a little more detail:
- kkapture code.dll with parameters like "-w 1280 -h 720 -f" (the parameters are *required*)
- make sure that your screen can actually display the selected resolution, otherwise you get black bars. I know this shouldn't happen with kkapture, since it reads directly from the OpenGL backbuffer, but for some weird reason, in this demo, screen size *does* matter.
- don't capture the sound, it will be broken for all but the first .avi file anyway
- hope the demo doesn't hang (I tried it at least three times before it run to the end)
- if the demo doesn't quit, wait a few minutes and then kill it using the Task Manager (Esc didn't work for me)
- now you should have a bunch of .avi files. The last one is probably broken, but the second-to-last one should end with a few hundred black frames anyway (that's why I said "wait a few minutes before killing the program")
- you need to sync the sound from the original .wv file (it's packed with WavPack, a free decompressor exists)
This approach worked for me (you can see the result at capped.tv), so I just hope it works for you, too.
  added on the 2009-11-02 by KeyJ  
great
  added on the 2010-02-28 by blackpawn  
FWIW, the corrupt sound stuff is fixed in kkapture 1.00. and no need to kkapture code.dll anymore.
