Veeeeeery nice demo !! TBL has done a must see! A little bit short but powerfull!
A well designed demo, cool textures, but missing some realistic scenes...
Also, we are always waiting for the final version.
Also, we are always waiting for the final version.
This demo is of TBL quality. The graphics are VERY nice and the audio is fitting nicely. The final should really come as I'm wondering what they changed or added! =)
I loooooooooove zik and gfx (saffron rules)
incredible 2gfx!
One of the first very good accelerated demo. The gfx and the design are welll done.
an awesome soundtrack and awesome gfxs, some really good effects (especially the infinite rotozoom) and a nice atmosphere, although on some PCs the demo stalls very often, which is quite annoying, contour will stay a must see for years !!
Great demo, although it crawls due to buggy code. But why spread 10,000 flyers, you crazy weirdos? :)
oui oui! great!
Kinda sad that everything cool in the demo was already printed on their flyers (maaan, i never made that many paper planes in ONE day :), but still, a cool demo. Would even have deserved the first place in the compo. And the music is REALLY cool.
one of the most beautiful demo I ever saw.
Saffron is a master.

Don´t you think you all overrate this demo a bit? I mean its IMHO really nice. But thats about it. It misses that special something to make it a real killer!
oh well.. considering all those flyers and the tbl bonus they still only made 2nd place for a reason...
after all i remember being at the to99 and they barely made it there to enter.. the whole thing seemed somewhat incomplete, not really as finished as they'd wanted it...
so i guess it's a good demo, but there's better ones out...

comeone dudes.. its like stash but accel and more crappier.. then wow.. lets use that old zoomer we used in 10 other amiga demos.. and making it in accel ohh..that was just 10lines of code.. well whadda heck.. people will buy it.. because.. we are TBL..! ;D
hoho.. shittydemo.. partyhack?

I think this is overrated. 'Contour' "okay", but doesn't have that something that makes you watch it over and over again.
contour really looks like all other tbl productions, which of course is not a bad thing, but it's not exactly original.
just my vote again for the demo and the PR :)
just voting for this sucker :)
my vote as well. Not the most amazing demo on pouet.net but it certainly is a nice one.
hey lator?
i'd like to see your 10-lines-of-code infinite zoomer source (should do about exactly the same as can be seen in this tbl demo).. can you mail that to niels.de.wit@shortcut.nl?
get lost :)

if you have a decent demo-system you could do it in two lines :
Effect *eff = new Zoomer(pics);
eff->Run();
;-)
Effect *eff = new Zoomer(pics);
eff->Run();
;-)
...and with some clever code compression, even in one line!
Effect *eff=new Zoomer(pics); eff->Run();
now THAT's hardcore optimizing, isn't it?
Effect *eff=new Zoomer(pics); eff->Run();
now THAT's hardcore optimizing, isn't it?
size optimizing on source-code level. how clever!! :-)
i wonder if it beats the loop with one matrix operation tho wich it takes from the beginning.. hums.. =) (let the fade be in the .xw for example and nr of pic in the list in .yw ;)
macaw: yes, we do that with all our 64k intros.
interesting enough, it doesn't seem to help much, but it makes releasing sourcecodes safer.

you should optimize for multiply processors to... use different threads for every dezin effect;P
Impressive zoom ... those gfx ... 8)_ also nice music
Gfx is ok and music too, but the demo is way too short and far below TBL standards... sucks too much memory also...
A cool (but short) demo. Not much in the way of effects, but what's there is fantastic. A bit overrated? Maybe, but still very nice.
just watched it again.
Very stylish gfx and design, complemented by an uplifting sound track. A little too short and uneventful (save for the trademark TBL zoomer), but still a great piece of work.
dô.Ôb

gotta love that picturezoomer
that zoom!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
great great demo to my mind
and as usual, a nice music for young jilted generation ahahahahahaha

Great music, nice graphics! just TBL! :)
The zoomer is amazing and the sound creates the best atmosphere that you can have here
Impressive gfx, and some good effects
Really nice gfx/music-style demo.
The last zoomer was truly stunning when I saw it for the first time few years ago.
i like it!
this one is fast and has some nice design! I like it.
Damn nice style and music.
Thumbs up for the amazing zoomer. The rest is so-so..
uaaa! very nice prod! awesome gfx & impressive effects.
The muzak fits very well and has cool dezign! i want an infinite zoom like this for mi birthday! :D

crystal score & saffron
rocks. especially the zoomer. i looooove this zoomer :)
Sweeet, works perfectly and looks nice. Gfx and music really got into me.

sweet
rather good
BEST SOUNDTRACK EVER! :)
note to self: praise saffron on every single day to come.
this was a big source of inspiration for us! thankyou black lotus! :)
megarulez picturescale
this prod has a fantastic mood! awesome!
thumb up the infinite zoom effect, really well performed
Talking about a hype :)
Still, nice demo!
Still, nice demo!
just great
Short but beautiful.
i saw this pictures in some amiga slideshow with lizardking music... i just don`t remember it name... anyway, it is ok. btw. so much coders for few effects?
Cute. But how did it take 5 people to code this? :)
strong!
nice zoom
now i remember, it was SOIL of course :)
Anyone who can take 5 coders and produce something, let alone something as good as this, deserves thumbing for l337 project management mastery.
Great.
cool gfx!
Average.
graphics rule - last scene amazing!
June99!
June99!
a must-have :]
excellent gfx!!
typical tbl

arf, never thumbed it. i love this demo!
Perhaps not quite up to usual TBL quality, but graphics and music are particularly nice.
classic, one of the first demos I watched!
tis is very nice, thank you
Awesome!
Damn, don't think I saw this before. The first effects look a little dated and boring these days, but the tune is good and that zoomer rules big time. Great graphics, one I'll definitely be watching again.
i've been watching this for thousands of times!
was and ever will be my favourite tbl demo..

Rules rules rules. I said.

A most brilliant graphics zoomer by Saffron!
nice zoomer, but no sex this time. nice tune but fx are bit generic.
GFX zoomer in 1999 !
Mostly Dutch prod.
thumb!

love at first sight!
und es hat Zoom gemacht
damn. fukeen. good.
Nice zoomer and such, but the demo lacks something.
It just came back to my mind...
nice pastel
rulez
Saffron's GFX!
lots of scene poetry
what a gem :D

This zoom !!!
a bit unfinished, but nice
TBL's classic :)
Great gfx by Saffron of course!
Great gfx by Saffron of course!
Yay, still works! Style is.. 1999, but still a quality release, and dat infinite-zoomer.
Brilliant
Cool demo
zoomer! :)
Blah.. I was amazed by Jizz and Stash at the time it was released. Then I observed how that IXA engine goes nowhere trying to find space for itself between demoscene and commercial plugin space to replace Flash.. both failed at the end and watching this demo after years is like watching Jizz and Stash with new tune and graphics... boring and clueless. Piggie is the up-vote for the graphics.
drawn graphics are pretty neat
nice gfx. is the tune genuine or ripped?
fine prod by tbl
This demo is just so magical. And still looks great after 20 years.
what venom said
Good stuff. Great music.
very sunflowerish
