• demo Windows Eternal Fortress by Peisik [web]
• The tech is very nice, delighted to finally see fractals rendered in fidelity that does them justice in terms of detail and lack of aliasing; the colossal nature is further emphasized by the graceful and majestic camera direction set to the tune of the equally imposing and introspective sound
  
  one of the more meaningful and personal demos in the compo, the kind that is determined to get trampled by the compo's latter entries
  
  the content side is also still a bit thin due to deadline constraints, but then again this also leaves room for more exploration, especially when it comes to things like volumetric effects and extracting even further detail, as well as more comprehensive lighting altogether =)
  
  fractals deserve more then low quality ray marching via a single shader pass

• 4k Windows Snell's Window by Collapse [web]
• this could be called "simple" and "uninspired" but i enjoy that soft GI look and the fisheye-in-a-box
  
  music still disappoints though...

• not sure what to make of this overall, but it has enough pleasing aspects to appreciate, and the music is lovely

• 4k Windows Is There Hope In Wonderland? by rimina
• Very nice, quite possibly the best intro you have done, at least out of the solo efforts =)
  
  The first 20 seconds of the music are especially wonderful.

• This is really sweet, and haunting, especially the soundtrack... greetings to my mom as well =)

• demo Windows Dopaminecraft by The Planet Of Leather Moomins [web]
• Like most Notch demos, not easy to get running on a GPU with 8 GB of memory or less, and even then it doesn't really run great even on an RTX 2080S.
  
  Anyway, about the content. I really enjoy the "numedia" rendering style (except when it looks cheap and fixed-functionish) together with cinematic camera direction. The more cheerful and surrealist approach—which includes the music—is also welcome after a dozen of destop's motion-design-fests and ntsc's grimdark-dystopia'n'bass takes. Also the closeups to the bees are very reminiscent of the iconic visual in Stars: Wonders of the World =)

• demo Windows Asahi by Futuris [web]
• Oh and also I really hate how the camera cuts through the geometry throughout the demo, that's super cheap looking. If 4k intros can do it so should UE4.

• Nice graphics assets and the utilization of UE rendering is certainly at least decent. Not really sure what the creative spark that brought this into the world was exactly though. An industrial setting with lots of neon/laser lights that look pretty through SSRs and wide bloom kernels together with cameras spinning around generic demo objects? Despite the high production values and cutting edge tech used this is among the most oldskool demos in the compo. It feels listless and lethargic, bereft of a purpose beyond shiny shader effects. This is a higher production value version of DEMO2 without a sense of irony or a pithy message.
  
  I don't mind using UE4 (or Notch for that matter), but this is anything but forward looking or novel in my opinion. If the rendering engine was homegrown I would applaud the effort at least but alas.
