Dope! Thematic, but reasonably abstract at the same time.

decent visuals. soundtrack is a bit too mellow, some witch house or gaslamp killer -styled stuff wouldve made it more epic ;)

The current superstars. Professional and high quality to a ridiculous degree, and complete with the hacks that the Scene is all (or to some extent at least) about! Even went with the Didone type family to fit with the "luxury" gold look, such attention to detail...

Love you all!

Consistent atmosphere and runs nice and smooth. Thumbs up!

The composition of some scenes are stunning! The materials are awesome. Music fits perfectly and sounds great (although I might have tamed some lyrics).
Such goodness :D

Well done, normal-textures is almost half the demo-size, total demo unzipped is ~130+ megs. As much as I love this demo I have to use some common sense when voting. The music and 3d scenery makes it worth watching regardless of the demosize though.

Looks good on youtube here, but I really wish I could run it in real time. Sadly, it seems to just terminate at the end of the loading-bar without any error message.
rulez added on the 2019-02-06 21:59:47 by kusma kusma
Looks quite rushed. You can do much better :)

A little bit of un-constructive criticism:
- It's a Poser showreel. Impressive but forgetable.
- Would kick much more balls if presented and proprly framed in anamorphic widescreen - 2.35:1
- A 100MB demo (almost) without graphic/overlays?
- Looks really basic/simple/2000ish
- Lesnik's music is mostly out of touch with visuals. It's either too dark in mood for vocal techno. Would benefit with darker/noisy soundtrack


+ Using grayscale/gold combo is striking (ekhm) gold. Old trick executed with style.
+ Bodoni/Serifs are a nice touch, stands out immediately. Try pairing with nay-given-grotesk next time :)
+ Thanks for greetings and not f*ing up our humble group name. Chapeau bas.
+ Does not sweat my home gear like most nowadays demos do. Unusual.
+ Ah, what the hell - lukewarm thumb up. Lookig forward to your next move!

Thumb for consistency in keeping the darker style continued after xo-nox, but what psenough and azarro said, there is much missing in this production. Comparing to xo-nox it completely lacks of suspense given previously with changing the speed both for the music and the on screen visuals.

There is a lot of detail in this demo but it still somehow lacks some punch.

Although technically superb, I believe after years we may remember more Satori and Navis cooperation than this from Demobit 2019.

Couldn't get into this as well as with Xo Nox, something's missing. Can't quite reach the dramatic effect it seems to be going for. Easily thumb-up material though and I can't wait to see what Altair releses next.

Cool prod through and through.

One question: is it religious or satanic in nature?
I can recognize passage from the bible (Isaiah 40:21) in the lyrics, but there is also satanic symbolism everywhere (e.g. skull of an goat/ox, scenes from inferno).

Nevertheless, cool pace, pretty good editing and as many people have said - gold material rocks :)

Teraz Polska! Really nice direction. I did expect the golden hand to grab the floor as if it was made of fabric instead of exploding, though. Haha. One ❤ Love

Very nice aesthetics. During the demo I was a bit distracted by some of the visual glitches (like the lighting of the fabric revealing the underlying mesh topology in the 2 heads shots) but nothing to argue about.

Out of curiosity, are the fracture and physics animation real-time or pre-baked?

Ah!

I haven't yet got the time to actually google it, but it seems you're right:

"Do you not know?
Have you not heard?
Has it not been told you from the beginning?"

Thanks for pointing this out. Very good samplework.
