navis: the scene of the screenshot was only a 3d scene with no animation.

who cares ? All I can see in the suggested screenshot is some unbillboarded strips mashed together - animation or not, this is not as 'nice' as the screenshot already used.

don't know where you see strips and the meaning of billboard in that, but the mouth is animated a bit like "the mummy". i know that tech/difficulties don't make the beauty (harder to do was the girl crying even if you don't see that tears really follow the faces or maybe the sun which isn't an effect,...), but this screen is my prefered one.

Billboarding is a technique that is used mostly with particles: in every frame they are rotated so that they face the camera, rather than a fixed plane. It is a very common and useful technique, NOT used in kstorm demos and it shows : You can easily spot the stipple artifacts in the last screenshot, a grave design mistake imho.

Anyway, I like this demo as it is a departure of the previous k-storm demos, a move forwards somehow. And it is the scene with the woman that proves this, not the other one - this could have been taken out of any other k-storm demo indeed.

Seen the demo again, you are right about billboarding everything, however the screenshot still looks weird... (the scene lasts 2 seconds, and I bet it's not framerate independant)


The grim ripper will kick your ass.-

yes this last 2 seconds, if i haven't made billboard for the head it was just cause i prefered it like that.
you are right, this screenshot doesn't reflect the demo feeling at all.

SUGGESTION - HOW TO CLEAN POUET

I sometimes read on pouet
I never write on pouet

I think pouet is a good idea and I think pouet is the best place ever to backdate new productions. I can't stand this so I have thought up an idea how to moderate pouet.

pouet admins should appoint 1-3 moderators per country, these persons are in charge of appointing moderators for each party. A moderator for the party is fully capable of rearranging everything inside his moderation-field. One should start to take in account that some parties don't hold annually, some skip a year, some hold two the same year and label the both parties with different names.

practical suggestion:

In Sweden we have a bunch of parties, I myself organize the party called deadline. In Sweden most of the orgas from every party is on a mailing list called SUDORG (Swedish United Demoparty ORGanizers), it is private and consists of roughly 30+ people, this list works. One could for instance via SUDORG appoint 2-3 people who cares enough to sit and appoint the correct moderators for the individual parties in Sweden. There's always a few really active, administrative sceners in each country that knows most organizers and at least knows how to contact the other ones. And a person organizing the party is chosen, being able to nuke everything that is incorrect about his own party. I would (hopefully) be chosen to maintain, moderate, correct my own party deadline and I would log in and make sure after the party that the info is correct. Maybe it is even more practical that submissions to the party can't be made until I verify them. (this way I don't have to check every month for the rest of my life so that someone in the year 2025 adds a backdated release).

Some parties are to old to have a maintainer that still cares, some releases are not from parties. These could be disowned (using current pouet-"law") or the country maintainer could perhaps appoint someone who really cares in keeping "BoozeParty 87" valid and correctly updated.

I hope you understand my idea, it is a suggestion. If I don't read your replies (cause I generally hate webforums (email rocks)) you can contact me via email or IRC)

Good Luck! - Psychad

Psychad: if you care that much about the submission of the prods entered at your party, you could submit them by yourself the day after the party, or post some messages here to fix the wrong infos.

and please check if it's actual demo - i have some bandwidth limitations atm so i havent downloaded file linked above

p01: but that still means that other people can add crap that I need to clean up. And it still means that 2 years after the party someone can add something more (or backdate something) and the only way I can keep track of it is to maintain it forever. Nah, I'll keep to hosting my own files on my own page for now. It is the only correct archive. Not even scene.org can brag today about a well sorted and complete archive.

psychad: you know this wouldnt be a problem if _all_ organizers from _all parties_ release:
a) released a proper results file
b) kept an own archive of the prods officially released

i mean, if orgas dont fucking care, why the hell should the archivists care? if the orgas do care, they'll message the archivists when something is wrong. assigning people to take care of it will only make for "replacment due to innactivity" issues.
