Of course it's amazing, but I still prefer State of the Art...

Yeah, it rocks, but i also prefer State of the Art.

jees, great demo. second 'like a videoclip' demo from spaceballs. great music+design. gooOd!

this one still rules...and is better than state of the art imho :)

design wise, and music wise, 9fingers is better than state of the art :)
added on the 2000-10-28 17:47:28 by _-_-__ _-_-__
For some reason I prefer also State of the Art (Because perhaps I like more, the 1 color dancing figures, than these ones?)

I like also the textured cube with the eye (Actually it is not exactly texture map, it's easier, I know the logic ;)

Hard to be better than SOTA.
State Of The Art is better for me because 9 fingers had a medium music, and we see too much details on the characters, there is not the poesie and the imagination StateOfTheArt have.
Colors is not 70's like SOTA, we must compare this two demos, because they came from the same group, because they are in the same style.
a must view.
hm, this was maybe the most urgent "INSERT DISK 2!" command I ever got from my Amiga... and I remember swapping the disks in less than two seconds, only to make sure that i don't miss anything. A must see, indeed.

And to join the discussion, I like both SOTA and this one :)

Bloody brilliant classic. Astro really gutted me when he showed this on his A500 and asked if the PC scene had anything as cool as that (which it didn't at the time) =)

Comparing this to SOTA?
9F's colorschemes are obviously better, the music is less crappy, but somehow I end up liking SOTA more than this. Both were very impressive when I saw them for the first time.

i prefer sota too, probably the blue colorscheme from state of the art was more appealing to me. =)
9 FINGERS IS ONE GREAT PROD ANYWAY.
rulez added on the 2002-04-11 15:36:37 by dalezr dalezr
Well, State of the Art was first, perhaps that's why people prefer it. Anyways 9 Fingers has much more to offer and I like the style better.

Both are good demos, anyways. Blasting examples of what you could do with A500.

ofcourse the greatest demo on a500, but I liked the music of sota better...

Good, but in my opinion SOTA was a lot better (this is more or less the same effects, so it gets slightly less interesting :-) ).

both sota and nine fingers are f***ing good demos, albeit using the same technique. the soundtracks to both demos are really spanking and kicks the ass out of anything else on the scene at the present time. amiga forever!

I'd heard Travolta's mod before actually seeing the demo, and the tune set my expectations really high... it's still one of my favorites, and I played it ceaselessly when I first ran across it. Upon finally seeing the demo a few weeks later, I was happy with what I saw, although I felt that SOTA just flowed and looked better. Might have to do with the somewhat drab color scheme, and the plain white Japanese characters and single-color flower zoom effect kinda seemed rushed/cheap in comparison to the techniques being used on the dancing sequences. I also liked the loader graphic in SOTA better as well. Still, 9 Fingers is a great demo with a stellar soundtrack, and definitely deserving of a:

Nice work , but without any improvements (code/gfx...) concerning Sota , i will agree with VindicatioN Sota is better.

Am I the only one who thinks this is better than state of the art? Additional bitplanes to the dancers and the introduction of the legendary vector tracer routine which did the job that major asshole (I think) had to do in sota. rulz0r
rulez added on the 2004-01-18 05:30:31 by loaderror loaderror
yep, better than SOTA is what i think too.
(exept the music)
rulez added on the 2004-09-16 11:36:07 by bLa bLa
SOTA was more "aggressive" than this I guess, more "driving". Guess that's why I like that more :D
rulez added on the 2004-09-17 08:44:30 by Gargaj Gargaj
No ! this one is far better. Passing from 1 bitplane to 3 (for the dancing polygons) was such a chalenge: improvement of an engine that was already unbelievable with sota !! And you all think about the tracer, but what about the obviously private "animation packer", which code is not in this demo but which has 15 years in advance ?
rulez added on the 2004-09-17 09:53:06 by krabob krabob

rulez added on the 2004-09-17 10:10:46 by FooLman FooLman
Well, it looks better than SOTA, but SOTA was ground-breaking. Still, this is a nice improvement, they could just as well have been lazy, sticking straight to the SOTA effects for the sequel, but at least they didn't do that.
Of course it rulez.

By the way, who can name all the tunes ripped into the soundtrack? The first part is straight outta Sven Väth: Ritual Of Life (Tribal Acid Mix), but I don't know/remember the rest..

Anyway, the demo - as well as the module - still rules. Back then it was a disappointment, especially among the other great TP93 releases.. but nowadays I personally prefer 9F to SotA.

9 Fingers has better music, better gfx, better design, better dancing, and cuter girls than SOTA.
Compared to 9 Fingers, SOTA feels a bit repetitive and plain, as good as it is though.

I think it was the first AMIGA Demo I have ever seen. It is a really special type of Demo totally untypical compared to PC demos of the same time. Originally I didn’t like it that much, but today looking back I would say it is a pretty good Demo. Thumb up!

just doesn't do it for me like SOTA. neither the track, nor the smoother gfx do it for me. It's a lot of work but to me just lacks the punch of the 1st one

I love the soundtrack on this one, its probably one of my top 3 favourite Amiga tunes.

The 'making of' video is very interesting background material. I wonder, is the dark haired dancer in this video the same one pictured in the 'SOTA - The Dancer' article here http://spaceballs.untergrund.net/dancer.html ?

SOTA was better for me, maybe because the follow up didn't have the same 'wow' factor (that's the problem with sequels in general). That said it's still a great production.

I see this as a natural follow-up to SOTA. They both complete each other, like the two sides of a great vinyl single.

Even if technically better than its predecessor "State of the Art", did not have such a big influence and impact than the latter one.

Bloody brilliant in every aspect. An awesome followup to SOTA.

I was a die hard Amiga fanatic back then, and The Party 1993 was perhaps the coolest amiga demo compo ever held. 9 Fingers blew me away, as did several other demos in the same compo.

I kinda see this demo as LoneStarr and the other crew of Spaceballs immortalizing some of their friends in a digital video art piece.

rulez added on the 2014-09-21 00:14:58 by raer raer
Well, vector animation started in 1991, a couple of groups used it.

Lonestarr did it then too in Wayfarer but it was sort of not the main effect of the demo, and they did a story around it.

This is more like Coma/Rebels when it comes to flashing unrelated animations together and having crappy music :P

I simply don't have a thing for animation player demos, something that has surfaced again last few years, but at the time this required more effort so I can't thumb it down.
added on the 2014-09-21 02:19:31 by Photon Photon
This one works as a follow-up to SOTA, but it didn't have as much of an impact and I have to say I still prefer SOTA in almost every aspect.

I don't have anything against "animation player demos" (and did one myself :-). this one is technically brilliant due to the super impressive image processing tools used to generate the greyscale anims. The actual demo not too interesting to me

What Hannibal said. At the time of production, Lonestarr had created a vector tracer working with more than just a single shade. Worked well and i believe he sold the technology/encoder for quite a lot of money at the time.

Never really did all that much to me compared to SOTA. More of the same except doesn't convey nearly the same amount of energy. Also the track is substantially worse imo. Mild thumb up though for the short bit of interesting vector quantization at the end (green flashing stuff).
rulez added on the 2017-05-16 23:28:32 by noby noby
Always preferred this one much more than SOTA. This one had so much better tech behind it (more novel, less novelty IMHO).

The TP 1993, Lonestarr showed me his traced anim player also running on an A1200, using (if I recall correctly), 2 bitplanes for blue, and 3 each for green and red, effectively creating full colour vector "video". It looked awesome at the time :)
