so-so thumb up, because it is way too similiar to "Zeitmaschine", music is average and not very enjoyable, design is good, but i dont like those chessboard scenes. Spider scene looks good...

so - so thumb up

phat soundtrack, and stylish visuals. This has about as much to do with zeitmachine as it has budbrain demo.

Another standard Farbrausch fare. Some nice visuals here and there, cute shadows. The music was decent too. That's about it, I didn't really experience any strong positive or negative reactions from this.

Looks like a remake of last years demo at first sight, but a closer look shows plenty of decent, cleverly placed details contained in the scenes.

crashes here also at the same point as boyc reported. using a laptop with ati mobility radeon 9600 and more or less latest omega drivers.

Mixed feelings about this one, rather slow and it reminds me too much of Zeitmaschine somehow.
Some nice design & ideas though.

Just realized that most (if not all) FR demos don't feature any greetings. How arrogant ;)

I agree with Keops that it's too much like Zeitmachine.

Worse still, it runs about 1fps in places and it crashes my PC too.

I noticed some resemblances to Star Wars Episode IV, were they intentional? :)

Some things could be more polished, but overally I enjoyed it very much. As opposed to majority FR prods, that in my opinion lack on the production side. Good work.

did this demo in about one week (night and day) on my own while learning to use the tool, music was inspired by work of spirallianz/midi miliz/x-dream. in case you do not like the music, i guess you have a problem with the style in general. it is sounding the way i wanted it to sound. you know that i have a wide spectrum of musical abilities. i learned that people usually feel the intended emotion while listening (and are able to express it verbally), but do not like the emotion. that is simply not my problem ;)

regarding the visuals, there were about 15 points left on my todo-list. grr. time is our enemy.

if you rather prefer happy bubble gum, you get happy bubble gum next time. i'll get you.

too slow and the music is very much like Zeitmachine, whooshes and gated noise

overall it's nice but the rolling cubes and colors got on my nerves
quite interesting, paniq did it again! some slow parts on my geforce4ti, but cool anyway!

a few very slow parts, a couple of very ugly parts (e.g. the scene with a load of cubes in b&w), but generally i do like the style, design and direction.
added on the 2004-12-29 18:28:18 by smash smash
pretty slow at some parts on my r9800pro, e.g. at the spider/robot/whatever thingy.

A tad slow at some parts on my AMD643200+ with 1280MB RAM and a Radeon 9800 PRO, that can't be right? A setup dialog with some options would have been nice too.. do a final ;)

Crashes at the same point described by BoyC. But hey, it had to be the speediest crash ever. It went back to my desktop in less than half-a-second. Demo one moment, deskopt the next. Now that's effecient coding.

But in all seriousness, I enjoyed what I saw. Yup, it's similar in style to Zeitmaschine, but there's nothing wrong with that.

I'll withhold the thumbs up in hopes of a "final" that runs to the very end.
I am sorry to say that because I like Paniq music very much but: I don't like the music at all ;(
However this demo certainly made it on the bigscreen because of the beam friendly ensemble. Well, it crashes too when entering a white square. Waiting for final release to vote.

rulez added on the 2004-12-29 21:16:39 by Vulture Vulture
Ok, worked at my home computer. Smooth beast. I dig this much more than Zeitmaschine, which was much more messy when it comes to the direction. The synchs were sweet but sometimes tiny weeny bit off - hard to explain but some things going to the beat just didn't seem right.

ok : i did not like last FR tum demo at all ! but correct m if i m wrong but the engine improved a lot , the shadows looks very nice ... there is obsiously a lot of attention paid to graphics and i love that ...i can't wait to see things like this in 64 k : once again fr pushed the limits further ...btw it crashes in the middle and the music could be less repetitive but who cares

though I don't regularly listen to such music style, the soundtrack worked very well for me, and i also enjoyed the way the visuals are synchronized to it.
i have gf5600, and also experience framerates that seem inappropriate, but no crashes. a final version solving the performance and stability issues would definitely be nice.

during the first 15 seconds i thought "my, that's the most ugly farbrausch thing i've ever seen". but then, step by step, it started to make sense! especially those cubes with the greek mosaic-esque design were very neat. the whole "geometric" feeling had smth very special about it - because it wasn't only about geometry but about geometry-related aesthetics like those greek patterns and stuff. great work, paniq!

Nice illuminated scenes, and well balanced colors. I've loved the detail on shadows, and the GI touch in every frame.

Very Personal, don't take it seriously...Worst things, for me, the resemblance in music and sincro tricks to ZeitsMachine, and the Spider sequence, it's totally out of place...even a huge stream splash of that red ropes have been better.
rulez added on the 2004-12-30 11:58:40 by JaK JaK
Good show! Paniq obviously took some of the recommendations people made regarding zeitmaschine to heart, because this was near-flawless. (Admittedly, the spider wasn't my kind of thing)

i was asked to help to finish this prod 2 days before tum and it really made me happy to do so. after being nearly inactive for 1 year i felt what it means to be part of the scene again. i already said it to paniq and i will say it again, this is the best "1st demo" i ever saw, even if he was provided with great-quality-help :D

if framerates drop into the 2fps region that can be regarded as "bug" that will be fixed. the same goes for the crashes, of course. it's a completly new system and that will take some time to "stabilize",

imo this is visually different from zeitmaschine, the soundtrack is pretty similar, but better. some scenes remind me of escher, which is ok.

A ketamine trip in realtime 3D, nice nice. Some pretty cool elements - the spider, the motion blur -, but somehow, watching the demo left me indifferent. The color scheme is a bit too coder-colorish. I don't like the music very much either - and I'm a fan of paniq's other stuff. The demo has one great moment though: when the beat stops and everything comes to a halt, briefly.

All criticism aside - for a first time effort, this is definitely worth a thumb up.

The tune could be one with only four channels. It's too miniimalistic but does what it was meant to do. Paniq is able to do better music, that's for sure!

In some parts the demo reminded me a bit of Tron 2.0 (the game). Really not bad all in all!

I got those Tron vibes aswell. About half of the scenes ran very slow on my laptop (9700M 512MB 1,5Ghz Pentium M), but the other half ran fine. I liked the style and It's definitely better than Zeit'. I'll give my rulez when I get the final.

hm...
i'm really pleased to see fr releasing stuff that isn't a one-man-show (aka visualize) demo but it didn't impress me too much
it's very stylish and stuff, cool ideas, very abstract but still it doesn't do anything for me, so a piggy, sorry
not as good as the kinda similar zeitmaschine, but very kewl anyways! paniq rockz!

absolutely unenjoyable framerates.
and doesnt look like it actually needs more hardware...
debugging?
added on the 2005-01-17 14:36:29 by hfr hfr
installed 4.12 catalysts this weekend and framerates dropped by about 80% for some scenes. apparently this is also the case with 4.11 catalysts. works fine with 4.10.

currently looking into what might be causing it.

Works all the way through with Catalyst 5.1.

Now that I've seen the full thing, my only complaint would be the walking robot doesn't really fit.

When I got to the point where the camera stops following the red line through the buildings and pans up, my computer just... stopped. The music still played to the end, but the picture was frozen there and the only button that worked was the power button. (WinXP Pro, GeForce Ti 4200 Go)

My problem sounds the same as Crusaders, except it made my screen look like this:

BB Image

This pic was taken with my camera phone cos my PC locked up and it wasn't possible to capture the screen.
paniq: To be fair, I can create 20 generators and a shit load of effects in Buzz pretty quickly... That doesn't really allude to track complexity. Not to be arguementative about whether or not work went into the soundtrack.
shane: don't worry, it's supposed to look like that on _your_ computer ;D it's like that amiga trojan some funny guy put out years ago ;D

Acctually this demo manages to run with "bad pitch" (well, it looks like badly coded blitter;) first time i tried the "final"... Then esc -> rerun, and it worked.

However, speed is like 20% of what i had in the partyversion (or i was just too drunk when i watched it first ehrm). No driver change...

final version runs just fine here (xp, gf6800gt 67.66) and it sure is really cool =)

two comments though: would be nice if this could run in 1280x[1024/960] so it wouldn't look so blurry on my tft.. ;) and i liked the shadows, but why not have shadows on the robot-scene (including the cubes)?
rulez added on the 2005-02-02 11:41:59 by fox fox
the first few seconds of the spider scorpion robot scene have shadows, but someone took out the shadows from the blue lights. i have no idea why ;)
added on the 2005-02-07 20:32:54 by paniq paniq
When I heard that Farbrausch had released a new demo, the first thing that came to mind was another Visualice thing. It looks like I was wrong. This in another dark techno demo in the style of Zeitmaschine. Good stuff.
rulez added on the 2005-02-17 08:29:42 by s_tec s_tec
ok, finally i can thumb this up, but mostly for incredible engine ( which eventually managed to slowdown to 15 fps on my ti4200 :( but overall if fucking cool ), cause i didnt like the whole design concept. But tere were really original and good-looking scenes.
and 1.02 ( or so ) final with spider shadow fix would be nice ;)

and "die (or) demo" dialog deserves one more thumb :DDBB Image

Cool demo, but not really jawdropping (at least for me). Great code and fine music and visuals, but I think I have different taste.

Gargaj: Did you really put all these machines into 64k synth and managed to make it run in real-time? Great job! :)

This product is a nice remix of...

fr-036 Zeitmaschine = Graphic (Glow, Blur, Objects) + Camera + Sound
fr-025 the.popular.demo = Round Ground (when the vocals begin) + Round Tribune (second scene) + Disolves + ...
fr-022 ein.schlag = Space + Camera "hopping" + Audio and Video sync + aggressive Sound
fr-06 Black = Rolling Cubes + Ball + Font Color
Kasparov = Follow the Pipes + Camera + Robot

+ 3D-Glasses
+ Tron style
+ especially the sound together with the robot and the light effects and the scroller at the end with the blurry background is well done!

...too bad, that this demo is even so not under the Farbrausch Top Ten...

- Mayby, because of the discrepancy between the scenes => some scenes are too uninterresting/boring/naked.
- The graphic over and in front of the "planet" looks strange in my eyes.
- Unfortunately, too many people don't like the music.
