Ok guys here it is. I was working on speeding a things up on nVidia but It looks familiar to "HalfLife 2" problem. nVidia cards just don't like pixel shaders 2.0. As for the file size. The party version had 15MB (to meet the compo rules). But the sound was so distorted that I've made up my mind and put a 128 kbps version of music into archive. Have fun!

Nice graphics. But bored me to death.
where is the music from?
I've written it three times it is "Geinoh Yamashirogumi". This is a group of japaneese people not ivolved directly to music (ie. reporters, actors, painters but also electronic technicians) that were making music in early 80's. Their main goal was to make a japaneese folk music with electronic instruments. They succesfully made a soundtrack to a movie called "Akira"...
And please don't blame me for the music, It was so inspiring to that we thought such scenario and no other. And as for copyrights, we're not making any profit with this production and we have credited the band. This music is about 25 years old.
it was nosfe asking about the music, he just abused my account... :P
somehow its stunning artwork..
on the other hand its SO slow..
(and i got a high-end machine with quadroFX here)
and somehow TOO long..
so just almost a thumb up!

awsome. I had ca 20 frames with my radeon9500. I really like that it's full of atmosphere.
dip: Ouu I was talking with nosfe before the compo, and after that I had to go drivin'. I hope that You've both liked it. Anyways the demo went to loud in the compo so probably that's way You had problems with recognizing it. Cheers.
It runned smooth here :P
Best 3d ive seen sofar (3d engine looks like the one from madwizards :P)
A bit to poetic sometimes but damn what a ambience!
Thumbs up!!!

It's a bit boring (and seems to go nowhere), and ripping music sucks, but it looks great and there's a lot of (well-used) effort in here, so thumbs.
Bonzaj: Were you also talking to me? I know someone was, about it, and I was expecting something cool but not THIS cool. Awesome pix, and it flows nicely. Slow, yes. It's underwater.
So much work put into it.. Maybe more of a movie than a demo, but.. All thumbs up !.
However, I didn't get the story at all.. :(

nice modelling, nice direction... but when i close my eyes i still see the green color :(
Great work but how many compos will you win with this demo ? (Interesting stratagem).
Wow.. my was that slow.. even at 320x240 windowed It couldn't get past 10fps at times on GfFX5200.. gotta watch it at home on a 5600.. hope it goes better..
But other than that.. very moody.. great work.. and uhm.. was that an underwater ode to death or something? =)

Amazing stuff.. great 3d, engine is looking pretty good, the music fits it very well, and the whole thing has a great atmosphere.
Btw, were the 2d pics ripped or copied? if not, i'm doubly impressed!

very good 3d.some nice pieces,some a bit boring :) all in all a very good prod
Sir: Yes You were talking to me :). But I was a little or more drunk there and my english was so terrible and gruesome.
psonice: the pictures are made by mime and xenusion (xenusion.com)

psionice: and I'll be more than happy to work with them in a near future again
bonzaj: i'd be amazed if you'd found some better artists and decided to dump them ;D
give us a capture then.
Bonzaj: did you release the video of thast demo?
Anyway, amazing stuff. I am the one who know that you were a 3d artist not a long time ago, welcome in coder's family :)

to all: divx will be available at about 22:00. I've noticed some small problems while compressing and it must be fixed.
Bye and stay tuned - I'm going to my dancing training...

Big thumb up for the whale, sunken warship and that scene in the screenshot...very impressive and the music is so cool + impressive pictures.
The only thing that was negative is that some of the "standard demoeffects" didn`t fit in the scenes.
Überimpressive :)

this thumb is for openly admitting taking dance-lessons and for referring to akira as "a movie". it sure explains why you have the time to code advanced pixelshaders. :)
i'm sortof surprised, this is much better than the final, altho it's like, "rulez" because of the work but as a demo it doesn't really work...
- what's with the fadeouts? i mean, it's ok but not when i expect something COOL to happen...
- i generally seem to have something against japanese orchestral music, i just can't seem to figure out what
- the loud, climax part of the music usually came a lot earlier than in the visuals. :(
- generally nonexistant storyline :)
but at least you have a good engine, good graphics (nice stills, xenu), and people are dying in the demo = thumbs up :D

Ok, crashes while loading on my radeon 9600 with newest drivers..
gloom: You think he would not have the time if he was a manga-nerd?
Watch it stelthz! it's called 'otaku'
Quote:

All but maybe one of the fragments is in the bloody Akria OST, I'd call that a given. ;)
Pretty graphics and a decent "what scene in the movie was that audio fragment in" trivia game.
a bit slow on my 5600 but still rulez
Since my PC isnt that advanced where to download the .avi or .mpg ?? Plastic's Symphony04 invitation rocked when I watched it this way! Please release video of this demo!!! thanx.. Screenshot is nice to thumps up :)
It's nice but for some reason it only works in windowed mode on my computer (amd 64 3000+, 1gb ddr-ram, radeon 9600 pro)
When i try to run it in fullscreen i only get sound and a black image after it has loaded, the progress bar and loading artwork displays correctly though.

This demo makes to my brain what sitting in a couch 10 hours in row does to my feets.
*zZzzzzzzzzZZZZzzzzzzzzz*
yah, and it aint that technical impressive, and the artwork aint that good - only good part is the decently blurred room, everything has fucked up uv mappings or simply doesnt have any / just looks bad.

ok You can grab a divx right now. Visit plastic.fork.pl .
I really disliked one thing about this demo, the characters! The man was poorly modelled and their both's animation looked really bad from time to time. I still miss hair, that wouldn't have too be that hard implementing it, the engine looks quite powerfull so why don't have it? I also still thinks that bold model's looks like poser models and that is so boring!
On the other hand: The 2d graphics where stunning, the bed in forest picture blow me away! The main athmosphere was really nice and I do like the music (even if it's ripped!).
A good technical show but a booring demo. You get the thumb for the time spent!

The style is great!! Could perhaps beat H7 in style and beauty.
But the engine sucks. It is so slooooow on 2,6GHz + GFX5600 ... about 10fps (320x240, all filtering and AA disabled). Even Realstorm's raytracing engine (Still sucking Nature) is faster.
You should do a LOT of optimizing, a pixelshader 1.1 Version would be great for Nvidia owners.

too lame for the ripped music... this prod should be disqualified... or put as a wild
crash right after modechange. radeon 9800 xt/winxp/p4 1.7

I watched the high quality video and I just must say that it looks stunning. Really good work but maybe just a little bit too long.
I have to also stress out the point made earlier about the fades. They don't fit very well. But I can't really see how I would've solved the problem anyway.
- Caustics are nice (always!)
- Didn't like the end with the almost lovecraftian affair, it felt out of place.
- Could have played a more on building a connection between the protagonist and the ship.
- The three parts might as well be reorganized in any sort of sequence, which might or might not be a bad point.
And next time, you can rip a soundtrack from Boards of Canada, this might also work.

And I might as well glose a bit:
If you ever want to rip something by K.Kawai, I just can't stand is usual lyrical sugar. -- except maybe the soundtrack from Innocence. (Whose festival scene felt so demolike, actually, you got to see it)

Ok so "to glose" doesn't mean anymore in english what it meant 500 years go. Translate it has "chatter."
Looks great, but if you're using a high end graphics card it should look great.
Top artwork and modelling but it really bored me.

I must admit and i said so at the time that i really didn't like the preview they put out of this, but i thought id' check it out anyways.
This full release version is pretty awesome in many ways i must say, with music from Akira( a must see for anyone who hasn't) it's not fast paced with shitty techno music granted but technically excellent with great scenes and textures and it works really well as a whole.

Extremely slow on my gf-fx5200. The demo is slow-paced and quite boring at times. But it is impossible to give this demo anything but thumb up because of the obvious large ammount of work behind it, its beauty and its artwork. Great :)
Knos: I quite liked his Avalon soundtrack
sagacity, I couldn't handle the choirs this time and the contrast between the suggested epic and the actual picture. But maybe that was the point I realize now.
I must thank all You guys that reported crushing and are patient enough to wait for update and not thumbing down for this. I tested it on several XP's with Radeon and I had a bad luck. It didn't crush on any. But today I'll set up another XP with latest SP (maybe there's a problem)?
by: thanks for your opinion. As for K.K I mostly like the soundtrack part form Ghost 1 when there's some spots on a city and the rain is falling. The bus stops and everyone has the same
umbrellas. And that is the atmosphere and ambient that I love.
by: what do You call a protagonist? You mean the diver? There's a separate story about that diver but I didn't have time to show it. Maybe in the future I'll make a demo about that diver and the foggy weather in the mountains (and of course there must be an orchestra walking)

mmm foggy weather in mountains... check out akira kurosawa's throne of blood... amazing atmoshphere (and a great film all round)
And in the end, he "gets the point", ah-ha ha haha!
Ok, there was a truckload of work involved. It's all shiny and polished and you can see that this demo wants to be so much more than it eventually is.
The ripped soundtrack (my gosh, the requiem theme from akira, how could you...) distracts me and the partly disastrous character animations make me cringe. Add to that the general eventlessness and the lack of atmosphere (which is badly needed in a slow paced demo like this) and I slowly but surely start to lose interest. Imho, this sort of demo screams for mad direction skillz and a real story.

Worked fine on my Radeon 9600 Sapphire with XP. Looked sweet, but missed something for a final kick... whole package felt a bit hollow at the end.
psonice: I think that You are near to that "point". The idea for the parts beggining with titles and pictures is inspired by "Dreams" by Kurosawa.
where to download the high quality .mpg of this demo!?
By protagonist I meant the woman.
Somehow my mind only could explain the demo by building some sort of siren-like or woman-of-the-snow story of a spirit attracting people to their doom, or alternatively of the ghost of a person who died in the sea. (For example in the ship) But this would have required definitely more stuff, and a non sea "dream" sequence.

now that i've seen the capture i must admit that it is all damn pretty. i recognize the ton of work that went into this production, that's for sure.
however (and there's always an "however" :), it gets quite dull, there is no way around it.. and yes, the music-ripping issue - for sceners you simply do not rip stuff off the akira soundtrack. that is a big no-no. :)
all in all, i think it's more suited as a wild-demo or maybe a product demo for ati/nvidia (seriously; you should send it to them) and i am really looking forward to the day you create a demoscene-demo-demo-pure-demo with your impressive engine - that would probably rule (if you have the gfx-card to watch it)

WHERE TO DOWNLOAD THE CAPTURE, AVI, MPG whatever? ;-)
Incredible graphics, I liked the wale and the diver. I did not like the female wood-puppet and the naked man. I guess proper character animation is very difficult to do and if it does not work out properly maybe you should try to design around it.
Magic: Are you too lazy to read the comments? tss.. not telling you then :)
my GForce4 does not meet the system requirements, does not let me modify the diognostics, updated drivers as well, Bonzaj
got a clue whats wrong?
got a clue whats wrong?
mike: just check the diagnostics-screen, every missing ARB is listed there. to keep it simple; you don't have a dx9-capable gfxcard and hence; you cannot watch the demo.
your server is down. put the divx on scene.org god damnit! :(
great visuals, but so BORING
I'm repairing everything now.
exe version is uploading to scene.org now.
I don't know what about the divx version, the server will be repaired soon.

the underwater effects and the 2d pictures are flabbergasting!
that's a pretty good fishtro ;)

whoa.
updated version ran here just fine at last, smooth too.
VERY nice 3d artwork there, but it was a bit eventless and boring for my taste. Oh the fish ruled ;)

bonzaj: typical... the one kurosawa film i really want to get but don't have! Actually i have around 15 kurosawa films... they were €2 each in hong kong =)
Gloom thanks for the updated info.
THIS IS A MILESTONE!
btw zhis great demo runs very smooth on my radeon9800se with the newest omega drivers
First of al this is really some great EYE CANDY. The problom is that it's more a small movie than a scene demo after a while its get's a little boring when it still looks so nice to look at. Great work anyway!
Second of all in the end when you see the 'blind stick' next to the bed some one is lying in, perhaps you can realize the small movie we saw was just someone's dream :-)
artistic does not necessarily equal BORING
deep emotions or whatever does not necessarily equal BORING
still no thumb down because of nice models

Ok I'm back after a short vacation. So the server is up again.
BoyC: Incredible - I didn't upload any updates yet - It must be You who has made an update. What was it? Maybe It will help me.
By: you're right about that "spirit attracting people to their doom". This is a story about it. And all over it is just a blind women's dream. I will make an update soon.
A question: is it a demo or not? Hmm everything is changing and this is our style. We will be doing our "demos" no matter what people will talk.
Imagine that when we'll do an 64k intro in "our" style - what You'll say then? "It is not an intro - it is wild". But it will be a coded 64 kb long artwork. So what it will be? I'm curious.

The shipwreck scene kicked major ass!!!
All the other 3d was really good too. Must have taken ages to do. The water effects and dof stuff looked the part. Colours are really well chosen all the way. Id love to see that shipwreck scene in a kind of scary atmosphere without any characters. :)
The music felt a bit cheap compared to the other stuff. Some kind of Polish ambient without drums would probably have done a better job. ;)
I liked the sinking man, but the main character didnt do it much for me. The story never caught me either. Cudos for trying the impossible though(Hollywood havent quite accomplished it either).

Well. Impressive. I don't remember a demo what caused mixed feelings like this. This is sooooo beautifull and well animated. Scenes shocking me. But the other side: booooooring like hell ! That music (rather noise): is hurts and make me sleepy. Btw i wish but i can't give a piggie ... :)
Well ... as much as I apprecciate the hard work of all those 3D models, scenes and stuff (even though those human models look a little too amateurish to me) this production is too much "wannabe" for me ... wannebe realistic, wannabe artsy, wannabe narrative. but where 3D realism isn't automatically art, the narrative part doesn't really excite me eigher. there's nothing wrong with telling stories. Moppi does a great job when it comes to narrative aspects. but hell, they wrap it up in cool style, spice it with great type design and interesting details and cuts. this is what makes their releases art and this piece just ... erm ... 3D. because this one isn't advanced enough to go beyond the pure excitement about pseudo-realistic 3D scenes. and this is where true art begins.
Kinda impressive work, great atmosphere, but a little boring.
The title is gross, in america you would have been arrested as potential sexual offender.
Great demo!
- The textures and light effects are about the best there is, there is no doubt about that.
- The character animation does not look flawless, but I suppose it is nearly impossible to do it much better without some very advanced tools.
- The music is nice. Still, I think the result would have been better, if you had made your own music while keeping this well fitting general style.
- However, I did not get the story until I read several "interpretations" of it here. I think "too slow" or "too boring" does not apply to this demo, but maybe "too unclear" does. For example, which part indicates that the woman is blind? Also, the last scene should stand in stronger contrast to the other scenes to indicate that it is outside the dream(s). Even now I think that the story and the atmosphere is not really leaving an impression on me, but unfortunately I cannot quite say why. Dreamchild, Fr-035 and especially _ , for example, simply work for me, without knowing in detail what they are about.
In any case, I have to emphasize that this is one of the best demos right now.

well.. i like graphics and music but it just
dont work for me...
dont work for me...
Nice models and shading and stuff, but I found the demo excruciatingly slow moving and the ripped music didn't really fit too well. But very nice engine all the same.
Nothing more left to be said.
Great job very artistic and "sea-travelling" demo
If only it could be smaller....but anyway you got more then my attention

nice realtime shortmovie!
Even more impressive than the "trailer", only the music isn't that good any more. Loader screen rocks now.
good gametrailer, not really demo...
Nice graphics but strange music/story
maybe too long and inconsistent. but fine modelling and graphics
Doesn't really impress me when I compare looks vs. speed.
wow. this goes straight to my top ten.
all this demo's music are kick your butt.

really good looking, but hmm ... boring
Looks great and it's great cure if you have insomnia. Boring.
Demo is very good...
The title of demo reminds me refrain words of song - Underwater/Delerium
Demo is ok.
Demo is ok.
Wow.
Plastic artwork! ;)
Cheers

Like everyone said, it looks nice, but it's pretty boring. The beginning, middle and end could basically be swapped around without noticing any change in atmosphere.
Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful.
Loved this one. Sad the music was not original, would have rendered ten thumbs up on its own. Awesome models, especially the ship. Animation not 100% but ok. Rulez.
This one is ok. Of course, the visual/technical sides both deserve a rulez (especially transition screens) but the content doesn't appeal to me....
These swimming skinhead barbie dolls totally freaked me out.
Wow, I got really pulled into this demo.
I own a GForce 4 tnt 32 and I get these errors.

very cute intro ;)
plastic really are out on their own with this one; unspeakably beautiful graphics, modelling and effects both lovely (especially 3D spkieblob thing); and subtle effects of lighting is remarkable.
wonderful score.. the modal writing alone deserves a thumbup... although a minor thing, felt that some sections (like the octave-organ+strings, and the more ambient/balinese mid section) could have used different EQ.
...
not to mention the demo style, which is very different as well.. part storyline-come-expression-art piece. impressive thingy.

Great work. Even though I don't really like story driven stuff. Amazing show.
A demo I really enjoyed...
Very nice
Still can't get this Demo to play right with a e Gforce 6200 FX
Yay for it.
amazing. i must say that it's very slow - even at minimum resolution, no anti-aliasing .etc but i guess i just need a decent machine
art.
a modern day Odyssey perhaps.. or something like that ;-)
Very well put together, my only gripe is that the music gives me visions of Akira when I should be concentrating on the demo :P

not my cup of tea but rules because of obvious reasons. great work.
ÜBERimpressive guys!
seems nice, however boring
Yet another prod with ripped music? :(
superb!
That's what I call ART.
massive.
too much,
slow and beautiful
boooring :P
Amazing 3d (still some of the best in the scene). Plastic needs to come back and make more demos :)
Long underwater moving story 9/10
Amazing 3D...
I love it!
Utterly awesome. Still one of the greatest demos of the scene.
Great graphics, beutiful scenes and a nice story. Also a bit boring and I didn't like the music that much.
exactly
nice athmosphere
total and utter boredom. pressed escape as I couldn't stand the boredom any longer. don't like the music either.
The 2D gfx is simply stunning!
GREAT PROD!!!!

the 2d gfx is great, the demo too long and many parts are not my cup of a tea. OK.

3d fly-by?!
cool and atmospheric
Missed that one :(
impressive from the first second until the end
a piece of ART

Was alright, but much too boring for my taste.
My finger so gently thumbing down.
Amazing painting by Mime. A child in forest. Are there any other paintings by him somewhere?
Models are nice.
very nice
weird one
Wow.
Can't be beaten when stumbling upon late at night, half asleep. Certainly has an athmosphere of its own. Good night!
Clearly a missing thumb here. I have watched this so many times. Such a bliss.
how could I not vote this up yet. Very Japanese. Probably that's just a single reason why this may not be easy to consume for people who are not fascinated with .jp style of art and storytelling. After years looks very much like PS2 in HD resolution.. but hell still has some power of narration hidden inside it!
lol wtf now that was crappy
modern classic
the youtube vid has some SME copyright thing...

I think there are some stunning scenes that hold up nicely like the diver and the whale. The 2D stuff was very nice as well. The use of Akira OST left me with very mixed feelings however. There could be huge potential in this with original magical ambient soundtrack and better direction that would make more sense. Or maybe I just did not get it, but the direction felt very random at times whereas sometimes it felt very nice. In other words, it was all over the place.
Not many demo creators have the energy and time left to spare on thinking much about the overall direction and "artistic emotions" of a demo on top of all the hard work and technical challenges. Therefore I must thumb up strongly for this ambitious project despite its shortcomings.
