simply rockkkkss. a 100% Skal production. Hard rocks look like a preview of state of mind.
simply Skal !!!

First and solo demo by Skal! Same Hard rock style and really smooth great looking fx!

I love this one! Ohh,.. and all these are ported to Linux too! (Irrelevant ;)

I really like every aspect of this demo, especially since it's a solo product. Everything rocks, except the title picture.. :)

(note i'm not sure it's a bomb release, because only Skal is named in it)

funny to see that these old code runs too fast today :)
arg, floating point error before the end :(
i dont like the music, design is poor
but it's a coder only demo :)
As far as I remember, Skal released this on his own, and won the wired'96 demo compo...
Some time later he was picked up by Bomb :)

A hardcore coder-only demo for sure, as evidenced by the fact that it had a linux executable which was really weird at the time!

A short prod that shows some nice effects. I really like the fountain scene. Nice for a coder demo ;D

i like this, especially when music starts
kicking. this is very good one man show.
tube effect on board is very original even
today...

Good 3D, good code, the design is a bit.. lacking. But respect to Skal!

am i allowed to comment after watching this without sound, and listerning to the music separately? :)

anyway. coder-prod, but a VERY good coder-prod.

This prod fucking kicks ASS. It had some REALLY nice looking effects even now, and the music is quite awesome too. This was one of my favourite demos for a long time. Check it out!

the transparent dancing cylinder is one of the best effects ive ever seen, and this is from '96!

also: great job with the (acoustic) guitar in the MOD, very nice strumming effect.

Back then I really liked the fountain... and the cylinder, too! Classic.

eguitar music,
"SKAL" logotype hole in stone texture, with fire effect within,
bump light over it,
"presents" word with bumper light, and flag waving party name and "Linux inside",
raytraced "hard ROX", with water sine lines in the back,
cave with 3D fountain, 3D particles propelling out like a fountain,
3D mathematic curve,
3D object, rotating, light bumped, a spiral in the background,
jumping wobbly cylinder, 3D, transparent, red, with shadow , on a circle green texture pattern mapped floor, camera rotating around, suddenly converts to a pentagram mapped floor, and the cylinder gets a blue pigment, specular finish
credits screen, written on light bumped background, with a 3D green jewel moving around the screen

Inventive transitions with some funny music and shiny effects. I think the precalculated animations were a bit too much though :)
