video stalls right after the "loading" screen... there's some gray noise on screen (single frame). The music keeps looping and I can press "esc" to close, but video won't move.

A nice solid prod. Still, it somehow feels like a compilation of effects and music has that "one TB-303 pattern" feeling. Rulez overall, but I'm sure you guys can do even better. :)

This seems to make a slight dent in cocoon's comfort zone and I hope that trend continues and we will see more diverse stuff from you in the future. Your tech is probably the most mature in the scene and I'd love to see it applied in new and interesting ways. The part in the screenshot, for example, was extremely well done and unique. I wish you had kept that up for the rest of demo, instead many of the other scenes felt demoish in a generic-unmotivated way and fell back into the cocoon trademark "dark green with some dirty white" color scheme which works well, but is getting a bit old. Another minor thing I disliked was the chromatic aberration which was way too strong for just displacing rgb channels and it shows that there was no real lens causing the color fringes. I painted over a section of a screenshot here to show how I think it should look if you really want it to be that strong.

If this great demo had been done by anybody else, I'd be totally ecstatic, but I know you can still do a bit better :)

Intro part is epic! The more "traditional" effects somewhat bored me but there still were so many beautiful scenes I really enjoyed. I also really like the music which fits perfectly.

Tried running this a few times, managed to get it to work only once in windowed mode at 1080p. When running fullscreen I have received out of memory errors from Windows even from a clean boot and with hardly anything running, ESC doesnt work, ALT F4 doesnt work, task switching doesnt work and nor does bringing up Task Manager, had to force reboot, twice. It crashes during loading, so I ran it windowed and it crashes with the out of memory issue, for some unknown reason it worked once at 1080p using the same settings which previously did not work, so I tried running it again windowed and it just crashes every time without any error message.

My specs: Win10 x64, GTX980 4GB VRAM, 16GB System RAM.

It's clearly a superb demo, which is why I am dying to see it in realtime :)

little story about the demo : i have to change the soudtrack 2 Days before the party (gemma....). the new music did two minutes longer than the old and in a rather different style . arriving at the party there was a piece of the intro and the stage of the city in the timeline...I let you imagine all the work done to complete 6 minutes. lots 3d scenes where changed...the skull part was done in less 20 mn from scratch^^ lots of synchro are missinng, some color grading znf podt process need more work, camera,transition....
This is really a party version :)

@friol : well seen:) there is also a tyrell logo in the background.

it need a fast gfx card...

I get a weird phenomenon when trying to run fullscreen. I have a 2560x1440 16x9 screen, but every 16x9 res I try (1280x720, 1920x1080 etc.) it goes fullscreen, seems to set the correct mode, but then renders everything in a 4x3 area in the middle, but with 16x9 aspect ratio on the rendering, making everything squished together.

Windowed mode works correctly, the windows is opened as a 16x9 window with the selected resolution.

replicant eye candy rendering and some amazing scenes backed with soaring music, but ehm, is the FPS capped maybe? any resolution I ran it in, the camera path felt quantised and framerates dipped in strange places with a 970 .. don't have to wait for a final to thumb this up at all though, loved the blob with the repulsive red orbs too
rulez added on the 2016-03-29 07:43:20 by Weyland Yutani Weyland Yutani
Flybyish, very random (e.g. the Blade Runner scene felt completely disconnected from the rest of the demo), not so well fitting soundtrack (which is understandable based on Ntsc's comment above), hurried looking transitions.. But still, one can't deny the impressive quality of the visuals. Not my favourite from Cocoon but easily worth a thumb up.
rulez added on the 2016-03-29 08:29:15 by break break
Wow! Deserved winner. I was expecting exactly this. A polished awesome looking demo with good effects, great graphics and a soundtrack to hold it together. And you delivered. Worthy winner!
rulez added on the 2016-03-29 08:32:46 by CONS CONS
well deserved win, awesome effects, big respect!

The best parts for sure are the shapeshifting cube/sphere cluster scenes. and i like the metamorphing forms with blended materials/emissive a lot (starting at 2:45)

PC demo coding at its best - thank you cocoon.
rulez added on the 2016-03-29 10:12:43 by arm1n arm1n
Some parts are absolutely stunning (e.g. the one from the screenshot), but the demo as a whole was just awesome-looking incoherent randomness with re-used color schemes straight out of your comfort zone. :-/

I can say this is one of my favourite demos just for the rendering tech and the quality of visuals.

Unfortunately I can't get it to run very well on my machine (win7 64bit, quad 2.5ghz, 8gb ram, gtx970 364.72 drivers), the visuals pause for a long time on scene transitions which seemed to get worse towards the end of the demo until it pretty much totally locked up and the music started glitching out too. I realise it is a rushed party version so no disrespect, just wanted to give some feedback if you are making a final.

I can see how good it is meant to look in the youtube cap, that must be running on a beast machine though.

rulez added on the 2016-03-29 15:15:31 by argasek argasek
disappointed :-(
no timing(synchro) between effects, effects have no sense ones between others & the great Blade Runner part is spoiled by a helicopter without any real heavy gravity which looks more than a remote controlled helicopter than a real one. Too bad...
a final version is planned in the coming weeks. there are too much voxels ^^
but guille say me that i can fix that^^ i hope :) we work on titan cards and no time to test it on other card.

Man, I really don't know about this one... The cityscape is spectacular, and dropped my jaw during the compo. What followed was the usual cocoon-fest that left me significantly colder. The landscape looks just ugly, and doesn't have any kind of scale. They brown fractal-ish blob with the red spheres looks excellent thanks to GI, but as far as the other "effects" are concerned I wasn't very excited. This indeed suffers quite a bit from the fact that the soundtrack was changed at the last minute. I'd be very interested to see a director's cut of how this was originally supposed to be. I'm still just left hoping this demo would be just set among the visuals of that city...

Also trying to run this, it managed to spectacularly crash my entire desktop, graphics driver and SSH client(?). Possibly ran out of memory but I think I had like 3 gigs of free physical at the time.

Nice cityscape. Makes it double sad that it was followed by what noby so aptly named a 'cocoon-fest'. It looks pretty, but it's just effect after effect, without much rhyme or reason. And most of it seems to follow a vague theme of 'pulsating stuff', so there's pulsating cubes first, then pulsating blobs, and then a pulsating landscape, with some metaballs and spinners thrown in for good measure. Some of it is quite pretty, but somehow it's also exceedingly dull to watch.
added on the 2016-03-29 17:51:59 by stijn stijn
Very strong, and I really liked the soundtrack! The only part I didn't like/understand was the distorted mountain-thingies. It felt completely out-of-place, unfortunately.

The Neo Tokyo cityscape made me weep. I just wish the helicopters had had real weight in their animations, that scene would've been just perfect then.

I am unsure about the choice of colors in the blobs scene but everything else was pretty much spot on. Sure, futuristic asian cityscape is not exactly reinventing the wheel but gosh, it looks fantastic! Cocoon once again manage to create that modern demoscene vibe their productions are known for!

Most of the scenes feel very disconnected from each other. Also the city scene looks a bit candyish or glueish(not sure which word best describes it) and does not feel like a real city. But the techniques used were fairly nice and i really dig the logos.

Some insane scenes, a lot of cool effects, slightly dull mountains.
