Best demo ever!

...At least on the blurry low res stream it was the best demo ever.

Wow your designed has evolved a lot. Much closer to video game look and feel I'd say. Also nice to see attention on the font.
On the technical side, well I have no clue how hard is it to have that kind of physics, but seems state of the art.
Obvious thumb.

Nice. Unfortunately, it looked a little too good with the stream-haze, so I was a bit let down when re-watching :P

But the code is really cool, and most of the graphics is ace. The music didn't work that well for me, but I guess that's mostly the fault of choosing a horrible genre ;)

I simply can't run anything above 480p smoothly in youtube.

Didn't really grab me at the beginning, but the particles with physics + bulb sections, WHOA!

How is the bulb rendered? Looks like it gets converted to a mesh then rendered as part of the scene as normal. Impressive :)

Indeed, didn't feel so special (more like a realtime rendered intro scene from some modern game) at first, but the ending with mandelbulb was really impressive somehow. I think you could've built more around the fractal worlds theme, but .. well, it was a very good demo anyway. Nice musics too!

It looked more HD on the stream.

It runs somoothly here except on the cloth scenes. It crashes when the first mandelbulb apears.

infinite thumbs up for the code and game like graphics.

a few thumbs down for this being story based which happen to find borring ...

last scene kinda makes boxplorer obsolete :-)
Mass Effect is not game enough and this is not demo enough.. Nah, good code, some nice gfx and nice soundtrack (dunno if it fits that well, though) = thumb up!
rulez added on the 2010-12-29 07:26:10 by Serpent Serpent
I finished Final Fantasy X last night.. Looks like I wasn't the only one playing it recently.. Most of the demo look like some video game intro. (Some might take that a compliment, but I'm still looking for more abstract stuff when I turn to demos..)

Some pretty decent stuff in here nevertheless :)

rulez added on the 2010-12-29 09:23:13 by jonnyram jonnyram
Has high production value on all fronts, but to be frank, the presentation bores me. It's all getting to a point where it comes really close to prerendered CGI quality and though I must admit that is impressive, it *does* somehow make me "forget" to judge it for it's real-time qualities. I'm not sure if I'm getting this point across right but well.. it doesn't really "tickle my demo bone" (go right ahead and make jokes about boners now).

Still, at the end of the day: a job well done. Respect.
added on the 2010-12-29 09:25:58 by superplek superplek
Loved the cinematic feel of it, nice particles and 3d fractal planetscapes are always a nice thing. Once again pushed closer to that movie feel you seem to really aim for! :)
rulez added on the 2010-12-29 09:27:19 by visy visy
Reading back now I sort of agree with Pommak and Rasmus. The word I was looking for just now is "sterile". Farbrausch has obviously made landmark demos but some of them, this one as well, jut looks a bit too clean to evoke certain feelings while watching it. But I did however decide that a thumb is in order :)

Also, good use of the mandelblub. No more "hey look, here is my mandelblub" but used in a real life context, as a planet surface.

Big difference to rove. Coderpr0n inside plus very nice graphics ...and this time finally... a halfway decent font for the credits ;)

And yes, very good use of a mandelblub. I think the late great Monsieur Mandelbrot would have appreciated that natural context :)

For the fractal scenes.

Music was... adequate. I didn't really like the physics that much, but they were fun.

I shat myself during the fractal flybys though.

A great demo!

The final scene with mandelbulb-like landscape is mindblowing in all aspects!

Code, graphics and music are all really good, I like the way you showed "classics" demo effect in the same way as a short-movie, it's a story-demo with a perfect balance between the words "story" and "demo" :)

Technically impressive, as always. But that's exactly it: It felt too much like a tech demo for some game engine. I'd appreciate more storytelling instead of a mere stringing together of (good) effects. And more 2D pixel graphics :-)

The Smooth Particle Hydrodynamics parts use too few particles. Probably about 3000. This would be normal in a 4K intro, but today its possible to do 128000 particles real time. Some techdemos have already been released.

The demo, for the most part, feels a bit more like a tech demo then an artistic one. The last part though (with the hardware lit fractal), makes it one of the best of all time. Wish a bit more was done with that... Also the greetings were quite original but very slow (you would think an i7 950 6GB AMD5870 would be enough at 1080p)

Felt a little like watching variants of the same effect over and over, and the music was underwhelming and didn't fit the "grandness" of the visuals. But hell yes a good show overall :)

A bit too reminiscent of Mass Effect and other such candy-scifi games/movies. However the effects were pure awesomeness, and i also kinda enjoyed the soundtrack.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ferdinand_Magellan

Magellan's expedition of 1519–1522 became the first expedition to sail from the Atlantic Ocean into the Pacific Ocean (then named "peaceful sea" by Magellan; the passage being made via the Strait of Magellan), and the first to cross the Pacific. It also completed the first circumnavigation of the Earth, although Magellan himself did not complete the entire voyage, being killed during the Battle of Mactan in the Philippines.

Yes, i know this because i'm a Portuguese like Fernão de Magalhães ... every Portuguese know this... :P
btw... in the nfo... "music for hidden parts" where is the hidden part?! Does anyone knows?
Seems FR is currently running a "old school scifi illustrations with surreal landscapes" theme cycle. Beautiful!

first i want to thank you for praise & criticism.

for the hidden parts have a look in the start menu options - hidden parts - pull down menu.
freeflight over the mandelbulb or ambience stuff.

if you want we can show you later some making of stuff from denmark (elitehaus), where we put all together to fininalize this demo.

great demo, putting things into a new direction. great!

i <3 the first parts with the unveiling/cloth stuff and such. great! i also digg the particle hydrodynamics stuff, but i had the same feeling as archee... it had too few particles.

dunno about the soundtrack though. other ppl really love it, i just think that it doesn't fit.

but nevertheless, it's so incredible and deserves this thumb:

Impressive visual quality and amount of content. The "effects" (cloth, physics) set it a bit apart from the standard 3D-replayer story-demo. As most of the time, the story itself is quite uninteresting.
Dunno if the comparison stands, but I find 828 to be on another league. I look forward to seeing FR in that abstract setting again, with their current technology.

New version works for me without crashing, yay!

Nice to see a demo with a good old "realistic" look to it for a change, most of the stuff today is most about the abstract.

Only minor complaint is the spaceship, which to me looked a bit plain, and something that could have been in a demo from ten years ago. More greebles please! :)

Went into this with very high expectations...came out disappointed. Not bad, but certainly not worth all this hype.

I liked the open space part the best (hey, I like space) and would have liked to see the mandelbulb more. I also got the "screw it -- now I'm just going to show effects on a table with bright colours and happy music because I like it" vibe for a moment after it switched back to the colourful vectorballs. I didn't really find this to be coderporn as lots of people are saying (aside from the mandelbulb).. but maybe I'm just interpreting the term too narrowly. Seemed a little light and cheesy, but I suppose it was about time for that.

If you are curious about the amount of threading that is going on - we left some debugging options active. pressing F1 will give you an overview. The most important button is 'm', that enables the multi-threading debugger.

Not all parts use multi-threading. for instance the greetings part does very little on the CPU.

The cloth part uses threading, but we forgot to set the markers, so all you see are the red bars - synchronization overhead at the end of each simulation step.

during the SPH blobs and balls, the yellow bars are the simulation and the green bars are marching cubes. marching cubes are way slower than simulation. some of the simulations could easily use more particles...

the mandelbulb in the labs is just marching cubes again, this time with pink bars. with debug on you can easily see how we switch to static meshes when the iso value stops changing :-)

the mandelbulb outside is completely different. an octtree filled with meshes generated from marching cubes. the yellow bars represent the MC. I generate volumes of iso values on the GPU. the pink bar is the read back to CPU. total pipeline stall, this is only dx9. I have DX11 version that runs smooth, but the rest of the demo does not work :-) the time during the stall is not wasted, i can use the other cores to compute the MC.

pressing 'f' reveals some more stats. the vertex count is obviously wrong, but the rest is ok. the "blobheap" holds several hundred megabytes of constantly replacing vertex data (16 bytes each). I had to write my own memory management because DirectX just broke apart.


so yes - this demo is mostly GPU bound - but only because it uses threading.

chaos: hoping not to sound like a bitch, but.. all that threading and syncing is cool and all from a technical design point of view - sounds like you really wanted to be doing this on a ps3.. :) but the beef i have with that is it sounds like what youve done is really well optimised versions of brute force, inefficient algorithms.
as archee said a while back, imho that blob count needs to go up a bit to make it a really good effect. :)

hi!

we have put a little production log on our website. http://www.farbrausch.com/blog.py?which=9&date=20101127

archee, smash: you are comparing my CPU implementation with other peoples GPU implementation. this is not a question of algorithm, it is a question of platforms. Yet you are right, doing it on GPU would surely have been smarter.

navis: google "smoothed-particle hydrodynamics".
added on the 2011-01-05 20:12:04 by chaos chaos
chaos: yes sorry I meant that part where the object looks almost solid (like it is made out of gelly). I was wondering if it is still SPH or something else (actually, come to think of it, I bet that the SPH and cloth maths have very many similarities, in effect they both propagate and dessipate energy from atom to neighbouring atom).

first time around i wasn't keen on the music. but after watching it a few times i realize it fits perfectly with the theme (ive been too brainwashed by this new recent dubstep trend in demos i think). really amazing prod all-round! just love it.

navis: the stiff stuff is just springs, but the sph is still active without having much effect. which is a pitty because the sph is a lot slower than the springs. in the last ball-scene the interaction between the drop and the stiff thing is all due to sph.

I watch the demo over and over again and I have always a smile on my face. In particular, the physics and the hidden part ambience is fantastic.

Pretty sweet. Felt a little too much like a game for my taste, but some of the stuff in here is just too cool to let my personal taste get in the way, and awesome soundtrack btw.

Damn I should have attended the elitehaus!! Why did I get married anyways...

I really enjoyed this release a lot. I really dig the cloth and the fractal stuff. The space ship seems to lack a little bit of detail compared to the rest. But since it is still way beyond scene average, I should stop whining.

So it looks like the scene isn't dead (yet) and we still have a couple of years left to prove that you can do something without operator stacking :-)

Ah, and thanks for greets. Makes my chest swell with pride. :-)

Uhh. My favorite prod of farbrausch after debris.

Regarding SPH - I really wonder if that is possible to calculate milions of particles on GPU with hardware busy on decent 3d rendering in full hd.

And - I am very happy to see another release with physics in!

Fantastic, well-executed demo with some brilliant effects and excellent music. The design itself is a little simplistic (compared to, say, ASD's best) but isn't overly ambitious either and so works quite well. Possibly the best production in 2010 in my book!

First of all one needs to applaude your courage and persistence with making demos that still inspire and raise the bar. Technically this is one of the best and could have won any major party.

I'm afraid I didn't like it. It is one of those demos that I think have no purpose. I had the same issue with Rove. Maybe it is the blandness of the music, it just goes nowhere. I also didn't like the static surroundings: it reminds me of old 3Dmarks - the cliched space themes, little lighting, no shadows.

I think that it would work better if it was a purely effect driven presentation, much like those from mfx/kewlers; without any pretent of a scenario, that, in my opinion, fails (or isn't of equal quality to the rest).

I liked the ideas in this prod, high quality scenes. Music started out great promising Jarresque scifi but in some sections sounded like car-sales ad/corporate video/stale chillout music, I'm overstating but it let me down a little, the music got my hopes up :)

Overrated. Some really great parts (organic stuff and bouncing ballthingies) but most of the spaceship scenes look like a low-cost video game from 2005. Farbrausch did much better.

It felts very soul-less at first.... it's better from the greetings part.

Also, what Navis & Yemeth said. I don't dig this "static geometry" (which is not bad, but it's too videogamish... if you can tell the date of the 3D, it's wrong!) mixed with awesome effects, it doesn't work at all for me. However, the greetings scene is really great.

Music is good I think, you have to listen to it a couple of times to enjoy it.

Thumb up for the solid work.

Some of the effects are so impressive like the meta- and 3dballs, greetings and landscapes, meanwhile the spaceship style kind of spoils the ambiance for me. However, great demo!

still i have mixed feelings bout this one, it somehow reminded me of the old odessey amiga demo by alcatraz, not by the length =) but by the feel of it all and as much as im a sucker for oldschool and amiga+c64, i can't really decide if i'm really impressed here or not. Sure, as stated by trauma0 above the end is absolutely amazing and the scenes with all the balls moving realistic with rgb lighting is just awesome, but on the other hand alot of the other stuff just seems outdated and really somehow makes it feel, well unimpressive, but still the wow effects are here, so thumbs up anyways even if i didn't make any sense :)

Can't believe this demo passed me by until today. Absolutely stunning demo. The fly-by end part with credit brought a tear to my eye. Really emotional. Great, great work by everyone involved.

The music as always from Wayfinder is excellent.

It surely is technically impressive (though maybe not quite technically correct, as number of cores shouldn't affect the flow of a demo which is not an interactive show), but it indeed is too 3DMarkish, and not in the positive meaning of MadOnion-era 3DMark demos - it's more like the fly-by ones from todays Futuremark 3DMarks. It feels like backyard playground for something commercial, other scene-defining groups could be ashamed to release something like that, but it's Farbrausch :>

I love this demo. I don't really know why since it's not my "style" of a demo but it gives the feeling that I used to have when watching demos as a kid. I adore especially the creative use of the mandelbulb in the end and the general "optimistic" mood. Lovely music as well.
