Wtf? For a Cocoon demo this was very stylish, even the corridor flyby stuff worked for me this time. Enjoyable soundtrack too. You guys should do this "packaging" thing more often :)
rulez added on the 2014-10-13 08:56:18 by break break
Better than the revision effort imo :). A tad "generic" but still excellent music, and I really liked the fisheye projections. Obvious winner.

Oh that was very enjoyable. Very stylish and definitely agree with what break said.

Lovely demo.
The textures look low res. Maybe it's because of youtube's compression or the post processing.

wow
extremly good demo.
excellent music!
visuals, pace and mood match perfectly.
the post processing on the scenes make them look like professional video rendering. here running in realtime.
scenes are great and it even shows some fancy tech like the smoke simulation.
great job guys, really love this new cocoon style!

This is how you do it. My only gripe is that "greetings part in middle of the demo" which usually does not work at all. Smooth ride.
rulez added on the 2014-10-13 15:27:06 by leGend leGend
I LOVE the opening scene, and I love some of the transitions (and the fact that there are transitions at all :-))! The other scenes look gorgeous too, and music is awesome.

The downsides for me are that sci-fi/industrial scenes (the "tunnel") are sooo boring by now, and that the demo as a whole is random and goes nowhere.

But I enjoyed it nonetheless!

What ps said. One of my favorite Cocoon demos so far.
rulez added on the 2014-10-13 15:52:15 by Preacher Preacher
yep, this is getting somewhere
Really nice demo, excellent music, nice color schemes and effects. Very enjoyable! This is probably my favorite Cocoon demo too.
rulez added on the 2014-10-13 16:21:31 by StingRay StingRay
Killer looking smoke effects, really nice transitions and overall the neat atmosphere. It's a damn good demo! I really liked the flyby through the irregular tunnel backwards.

Yet another quality demo in the production line of Cocoon.

Really nice. I really loved the music and direction. The glow in the cube smoke was rather lovely to look at too.
rulez added on the 2014-10-13 17:34:49 by raizor raizor
Very solid and good demo.

I was a bit bored after a while and I had the feeling that the lighting isn't very plausible. Not really necessarily important for demos... but maybe that's something AAA demoscene groups like cocoon could have a look at ;).

Love this one.

+pure client binary
+the design
+the music

I can't get the point on demanding this on JS/webGL: at this framerate & resolution?

Yes,...we can wait 5 years to get more powerful CPU and GPU, and a more stable&efficient (if efficient applies to this need) Angle+webgl+JS thing and get a super useful on-line exact-version of this demo.

So whats the point?

Very slick production. Absolutely high quality but not over-complicated. Love the music.

Technically great and I love rendering of scenes, tone of colours, dark, desatured. Plus great soundtrack. One of best demos of 2014

This is pretty nice. I was going to say it's like a "not-Cocoon Cocoon" but that seems kinda weird? Also I have to agree with what sensenstahl said about going backwards, considering a lot do the forwards zooming thing which is fine, but overplayed perhaps. It all seems to work, so yeah, it's nice. :)
rulez added on the 2014-10-14 08:19:06 by Starchaser Starchaser
Hmm, this one felt a bit strange.
Everything looks good, with the exception of that silly surveillance camera.
However, it doesn't grab my attention at all and the soundtrack does very little to add to the experience.
One of the few cases where I'm willing to consider that it's me there's something wrong with and not the demo.. Piggie it is then.
Absolutely delicious.
rulez added on the 2014-10-14 11:28:55 by sagacity sagacity
sleek visuals and music with character!

also for those with the 'MSVCP120.dll missing' problem installing this fixes the problem (worked for me as well).

Very nice design and direction.
rulez added on the 2014-10-14 13:42:11 by dv$ dv$
the smoke cube at the beginning was a bit disconnected (and seen way too often), the rest was the usual good flyby (or "archviz", as it is called now). Smoke sphere thing at the end was awesome. Also, do cocoon demos get brighter every time in very small steps or is it me?

music was slightly too trancy and too edm-ish fo me.
Unfortunately, my laptop is simply too slow to run the demo at anything more than slideshow rates. Still, judging from the video, it's a solid production.
rulez added on the 2014-10-14 21:17:35 by FreeFull FreeFull
Great except one thing: please stop doing cross fades between scenes - Navis said it once, it ruins the flow when watching in realtime due to performance drop due to two scenes being rendered at once.

Wow. I'm really so, but I can't give you a thumb up because my judgement is clouded by envy of your lighting.

Awesome stuff. The only detail that didn't please my eye was the RGB-split on the type in the final scene.

I have to watch this couple of times to see all the details. Perfect pace and super nice architectural structures. I need to put these screenspace reflections on my wishlist, too.

Incredibly well done in every aspect. Wanting to nitpick, I'd probably have left out the only non-abstract element from it: the camera. Still, top stuff.

This is really nice, I like it a lot. The typography is this demo's weakest point -- plus the name. The name really, really sucks. :)

The highly-skilled members of Cocoon give us a raw demonstration of what jawdropping code, superb design and a top-quality soundtrack can do. These elements are masterfully weaved together as this majestic demo gradually builds up tension and atmosphere until the hapless audience find themselves enveloped within the concrete walls of an unseizable world.

the smoke box while cool doesn't fit though
Bon sérieux, cette démo c'est vraiment une tuerie.

I've seen this demo many times now, I still enjoy it a lot to this day, and I'm still very much impressed by the quality of the direction. Things fall a little apart with the CCTV scene, which is a bit more classic and doesn't really fit in well within the other more polished parts. But everything before that is near perfection.

The transitions are outstanding, and I really like how the demo jumps from minimalistic design to technical show off to atmospheric without skipping a beat.
