One of the best old-school demo I've ever seen on the Amiga 500. Great copper effects, great tune... Watch it! It's worth the few minutes it takes :)

My gawd. Why has this not got more thumbs! The music to this one is fantastical, and the copper effects were (at the time) stunning. One of the all time amiga classics.

featuring the song "Dragonsfunk" by Moby if I'm not mistaken, which rocks insanely. This was a great demo in general. Anyone knowing what became of Corsair?

I still don't understand how vertical raster are done
rulez added on the 2008-06-07 10:32:06 by bigcheese bigcheese
.. are they just tall sprites being blitted? this is what I get for never having an amiga or c64.
added on the 2008-06-07 10:52:54 by bigcheese bigcheese
There are many ways, none are "real" rasterbars.

The nearest to "real" rasterbars is to set the bitplane modulo to -40 and show the same line of gfx data all down the screen. By adding new data every line you get kefratraz bars :)

Combined with HAM and overscan you can pretty much do anything vertically you can do with rasterbars, although you can't arbitrarily overlay graphics because you're using the bitplanes to simulate rasterbars. Sprites can of course be abused to hide that fact.

You can combine real rasterbars with the above tricks too, of course.

Oh, and thumb up :)
rulez added on the 2008-06-07 10:56:39 by xeron xeron
Ah, thinking of bitplanes, and the data not changing much as the scanning goes down got me in a more rastery frame of mind. Makes more sense now.

Initially supposed to be released under the Dragons label.
However, one of the very best Corsair's release.

Foxy! / The Company
(Angels at that time)

Note : It hasn't been released at any party.
Corsair finished it at my place and it took him ages just to sync some visual Fx with Moby's neat soundtrack ..
No minor details for these guys ;)
It was then sent to the rest of Angels team and then spread thru BBS's (you'd say Da WeB now).

Oh boyz, releasing this demo was definitely one my proudest moments on the Amiga scene (ok, that and the Dragons megademo to be fair).

It took me ages to get some of the visuals right (tweaking the colors until they felt 'right'). And as Foxy mentioned, getting Moby's music in sync with the visuals took forever (how many seconds should each effect be shown in order to achieve the best results, etc...) A lot of attention to details here, believe me.

I remember the whole Dragons crew all spent about a month together in the summer of 1991 and that's when we created this demo. Moby worked on the music (a true masterpiece), I focussed on the code and Mr Video (my older brother) helped with the design.

Some of these visual raster effects had really never been seen before (I think). It was a true mix of old-style copper with new-style blitter generated rasters... Take a look at the last effect (Rasters Mutation). Took me while to get this one right :-) Reading some of the comments, I am glad so many of you liked the final result. Never imagined at the time that I would end up reading all this 20 years later... kind of unreal if you ask me.

Amazing times boyz, I'll tell you that... Ah, being 18 again :-)

ps: btw, somebody asked what I was doing nowadays. Well, on the personal side, for the past 15 years I have been living in the states (moved from Paris, France). Married, 2 boys... On the professional side, I ended up sticking to programming. My Amiga years helped me find something I really enjoyed doing (coding). Got to be thankful for this. So, I am now a professional programmer, working for various large US corporations. And lately, I am 100% focussed on developing for the iPad/iPhone. Fun little devices to program for, I can't complain...

ps2: and, of course, here is the full youtube version

The master piece of my brother (Corsair) and I, with a legendary music from the talented Moby. The whole design idea was to bring a very dynamic demo with short and various effects. I think we made it as it seems many people really enjoyed this production.
Good old time for young people to create demos such as this one. I can remember the summer holidays with all the Dragons crew near the city of "Le mans" (greetings to Megablast !), before we joined the Angels team. We had so much fun.
I showed the recording of the demo on Youtube to my kids trying to explain them how difficult it was. Now, it is different...
