amazing, so stunning both visual and sound wise

This came out suuuuuper nice. And of course my compliments for the amazing soundtrack. Sounds are smooth, clean and does in no way sound like the regular 4k muisc you'd normally hear. I can highly recommend people listening to this beauty in headphones for full benefit of the delicious stereo effects. Visually, it's a beauty and makes for an awesome journey through gass fields, water, underground and back up. At least that's how I experienced it :-) Congratulations on this achievement!

started off great with those two scenes with very strong DOF/bokeh... (kinda like the conspiracy bathbomb 64k) but when it continued to show particle shapes it kinda looked too generic (then again, it's a 4K)... the sound is <3 though.

Haha, this is also how Empires works IIRC.
Is the animation all pure-function-of-time or is there some feedback too? It looks kind like there are flowfields of some kind.
Also, how are the particle points spawned in the first place? It looks like some of the shots show a gyroid so I'd expect some kind of distribution over a 3D surface.

Yes

Absolutely astonishing that this is possible in 4K!

Great stuff!

fizzer: yeah, I should probably elaborate a bit more.
The first 3.5M threads are the particles. On scene change particles are randomly spawned in a box, then snapped onto a sdf (in a small loop with dispersion in between for better distribution), then textured and shaded from the sdf.
The rest of the time they are being simulated with some simple affecters (one of them is suction to the sdf to keep things on the surface if desired), but no kind of n-body (so it's a bit hard to keep a good density).
Apart from updating the particle buffer itself, their indices are written to the right buckets for z-ordered rendering.
The large remainder of the geo threads are then rendering the whole bucket space.

And getting that rendering (without any post processing) to a somewhat Conspiracy comparable level was tricky, it's not just COF and done.

I think it's a bit too clearly Empires inspired, although it definitely is its very own intro.

Still, it's just so well executed and also interesting on the technical side, well done!

Love the textures on this and the sparkles, visually pleasing, pleasant and relaxing audio. Great job.

I like the music, and the visuals are nice. But I don't like "remaking" when there's a such clear drop in visual quality, not matter how insane the size reduction. Ok, this didn't quite explicitly say it's a remake / reimagination of Empires, but it still kinda is.

long precalc, but was worth the wait.

i guess even a different approach would have led to a comparison to the inspiration of one has seen it. but this is still a beauty of a 4k. well done!
