Great stuff from fairlight, really nice style, good design, good code, and a really good tune (with perhaps the best sounding audio i've heard in a 64k too :)
and its another ribbon demo, remember to enable antialiasing
Does it require shaders?
gorgeous colour scheme in this.. and you really can't get fresher :)
well worth the wait ;)

lordgraga: take a look at the nfo :)
"needs a ps1.1/vs1.1 class card or better, 512mb ram, a semi-fast machine (1.5+), and win2k or better."

So what? That's just funky fresh! Respect.
lordgraga: one day, a final will remove the need for pixelshaders, just cos of my conscience.
but for now, you need a gfx card from _this_ century to run it. =)

Really cool 64k, funky sound, phat design and it runs very well on my 3 years old geforce III gfx card.
Damn, I want SWVP fallbacks, at least until my company gives me a new gfx card ;)
(yep, again, there ARE cards with full ps2.0 support but no vertex pipeline at all)

rocks! the stopping objects looked quite weird, but fresh design, fresh music.. rock!
and the orange style ripping with random borrowed scene stars continues =)
nice red lines though.

so damn fresh
Nice.
one of the best intros of 2004, but i wish it was a bit less static. cudos for damn sweet lighting :)
Fuckings to Fairlight.
The colour scheme was superb and I liked the abstract models, but I agree with Okkie about the stopping objects. It looked like my hard drive was paging or I was low on ram or something.
More importantly, PLEASE QUIT WITH THOSE BARGAIN BASEMENT CHEAPO TEXT OVERLAYS! Just like "We Cell" this intro had quite a classy style but the overlays made it look so tatty.

"secret life...", "from dust..." and now this... respect aiii, you RULEZ! music rOXx.
very, very, very good! really too bad it had no competition, this is damn fucking great. with attitude. big ups to smash!!
Ah ! The best prod from BCN !!! ...
Stop speaking about the colorsheme you all blinds, this is:
:-) R.A.D.I.O.S.I.T.Y. :-)
So, what it calculated in the init (megathumb-up) or pre-done by vertex with a modeler and then compressed ?
(still megathumbup)

krabob: no it's (to quote smash):
"ambient occlusion, but our own modified version, and with a precalc method that's actually fast enough to use on high poly scenes :)"

our contribution to next years mr.freshness compo =)
Radiosity aside, I don't think this was particularly entertaining. The ribbons were nice but the other scenes were totally forgettable, and I didn't like the contrast between the background and the logos. Perhaps I was just expecting better after waiting for the long precalculation, but..
must admit that the text overlays where very cheap looking :)
panta, no, this is the invite =)
music + vibe + ambient occlusion = rulez
really fresh ! Best sound ever in a 64 k. Smash,Kutta u rock.
Nice visual ... i really love this one. Kind of orange feeling in it

Good, but like some have already mentioned, the stopping objects and texts should be improved.
I love these moody shades. Ribbons (the effect of the party :), nice music and sync,. but it came up a little boring..
ooff. I need a new gfx card
Not the best I've seen from flt. Good music. And it's "respect", not "respec" :)
what dominei said!
this is really fresh..
(nice per-vertex self-shadowing.. next time per-pixel, please.. ;)

dominei : about your second comment , would you please kick youself for me
funky fresh :D
"Couldn't create device". Apparently my device is insufficient :(
break:
most likely, lack of hardware vertex processing (vertexshaders)? or trying for an antialiasing mode your card doesnt support?

What do you know, it was the AA mode. Never had problems with that before.
Nice to see someone still making properly designed 64k:s instead of the usual Fr08-ish boredom. Very good for a flyby =)

Really nice.
smash: then try D3DCREATE_SOFTWARE_VERTEXPROCESSING if HWVP didn't work. Thats like all you have to do.
Besides from that: after watching it on a workmate's PC i must say this rocks. Nice fast ambient occlusion lighting algo. Music was cool, overlay texts were a bit too wannabe-orange for me tho. Have to second Shane in this regard.

beautiful objects and stuff, music rocks.
The only things disturbing were that, erm, tag(not-so-good-style) and the slight emptiness.

fresh, especially the lighting!
kb: to be honest, i completely didnt think of any card existing which supported ps but didnt support vs :) (wtf is this card, anyway?)
pretty lighting
the screenshot is very nice.
i want an avi !!

It was really good looking with great design, music werent that good.
Fuck yeah. Though I thought the text and "fresh" logo were pretty ugly comparitively.
quite nice
Wee! My card supports ps 1.1! :D
There are some laptop cards that doesnt support hw vertexprocessing afaik, but i never experienced that they havent implemented a wrapper for the hw pipe->sw pipe in their d3d drivers?
aiiiii
Not my cup of tea... big swine for you.
Nice going Fairlight! That synth really sounds great! Modelling was great, text layers was not! Deserves a thumb up atleast.
is ok
Pretty good, probably best prod @ bcn 100.
Rulez
Ownage
At last! A finished Fairlight 64k!!!
i like this. reminds me of the 'end2end burners' video clip by company flow.
Nice work!!
hum, Matt, 4x AA doesnt seem to work on my Radeon.. yes, i am a good betatester i just forgot to try this, eheheheh :P
smash: eg. the Intel ExtremeGraphics 915 (which you'll find on every second mobo in the near future, so it will be not too uncommon) which is in my (Intel sponsored ;) work PC at the moment.
The thing fully supports PS2.0 and is somewhere between a GFFX5200 and 5600 speedwise, but it has no vertex pipeline at all. D3D can only be used in software vertex processing mode (which doesn't prohibit using pixel shaders at all, no "emulation" necessary).
The only differences I encountered were that you had to specify software vertexprocessing, and most importantly fill out those "StartIndex" and "VertexCount" fields of DrawIndexedPrimitive() correctly - otherwise every call will transform the whole vertex buffer instead of the small piece that you're actually using... which is dead slow.
But at least on my P4HT 3.4 it's way faster than a GF5200 even with software VP.

Consistent design and brilliant audio. The precalc is a bit boring (make a "save data" version, so i can wait less after the first look) and the action a bit static, but it sure is one of the best releases of this year so far.
Bringing old 1.5-2 dimensional effects to 3 dimensions (on a 2d-screen) is soooo leet. :)
ao is good. 2D overlays bad 8). Overall good
Cute, except for the overlays.
67 in less than 10 hours, woo hah!
Btw exchanging the farbrausch loaderbar with a bloodrausch loaderbar is not very creative. ;)

Very sleek looking, nice!
The screenshot raised my expectations pretty high, but upon watching the intro I was let down. I thought the "ribbon" would flow around, kinda like in rythmic gymnastics, but instead it just draws itself onto the screen.
However, the sound quality was very good.

a video would be really really nice so poor students with gf4mx like me can watch it.
Top quality.
music is ok, colors and shapes are nice but those 2d layers are ugly and dont fit the rest of the visualsl.
vertex shaders required to display a few thousands tris with texture mapping? no way.
the dull flyby eventually bored me. 2 minutes of precalc did not help to avoid that.

A little static for my taste, but everything else is damn good !!
Excellent visuals (and i liked the overlays), crispy sound !
Congrats Smash !

smash: If you got a mp3 or ogg of the tune, please email it to me, it was really nice and would look really good in my mp3 folder. :-)
looks fresh
very fresh!
impressive
very nice
very nice
style.
I just watched it again. Dunno why.
great!
I just took a dump. Dunno why.
LordGraga: I still read your comments.. Dunno why...
The intro is sweet though! Luuv the colours!

This is what I'm talking about. Clever coding that actually looks nice.
Oh yeah, gotta click on the thumb-thing...
thumb up for hip hop style
the style. ohhhh.. The Style........ uhmmmmm ... THE GODDAMN BLOCKROCKING STYLE ... kicks serious ass ...... love it, addicted to it ...... give me more ....
pleaseeeeeeeeeeeeee
pleaseeeeeeeeeeeeee
cool bt way too slow here
So Nice tech intro! but boring to me.. static and slow as uncle-x said.
sorry but it was quit boring and music wasn't my taste
btw first got a "couldnt create device" error
when using 4x AA...

Hm, well, I guess it's an accomplishment from a technial point of view.
I did however, find music and the visual design quite unfresh.

just as a note, i think the "4x AA" actually refers to the level of filtering, so its probably 16x in reality. Try 2 or 3 unless you have a really high end card.
!!!
psonice: It *STILL* doesn't work, and I wanna see what it looks like! :P
very fresh very sweet, greazt music
, but like some have already mentioned, the stopping objects and texts should be improved.

Really good! I especially like the name of the intro... ;D
The FSAA is buggy here (on a Radeon 9800xt), but when forcing it in the Catalyst driver, it works, and looks great!! :)

precalc was a bit long but it sure was worth the waiting. Nice lighting algo, definitely worth to watch.
Not a milestone for me, but I like the fresh look, especially the shading. No glow, no highlight, no blur, just diffuse materials with nice shades. I like it a lot!
I found it to be incredibly attractive and I quite liked the music. FLT is as FLT does. ;-)
massive
Sweet
new winds blow and it's coool
A finished prod?
Euhm... The lightning in the screenshoot looks good, but when running the intro it felt rather cheap and booring.
The dezin is just booring and doesnt give anything...
It doesn't suck, but i fail to see the fresh in it, or well if the "fresh" is meant as in mr.Fresh compo, then i understand ;)

cool some effect.
very cool
very nice idea, but fails to impress. it's not very "fresh" or "hip" as it claims to be, although it's veeery goodlooking in some places.. and the music ruled :)
Quite good. Except for the - yeah you guessed it - text overlays... which in my opinion don't fit at all into the 'freshy' cartoonish theme.
Nice 3d, colors & shading. The rest seemed more or less unfinished.
nice to watch a "today fairlight prod" i like.
love it.
love it.
Nice. I like it.
cool.
why there are some slow down on these low poly scenes??? why using only vertex colors when lightmap are better? why it's so boring... why always red lines!!!!
Bad wannabe-overlays as said many times, thumbs up only for the routines and the music. Could have been much better with a real concept.
pretty cool :)
thats dope..... it's seriously nice to see a prod that feels good.
Well... I've seen better ones. FLT certainly has a great sense of oldschool, but that doesn't work here. It gets a bit monotonic to the end, however, it's still good.
*hard beggin' for video*
after benchmarking this one i must give a second thumb. stats wont change tho :(
video link added.
respec!
me wants a new scene with a silver stripe!!
love it! way to go smash - respect!
yeah, im sure this would have been nice to watch on the bigscreen. music r0x!
good lookin'!
watched the avi; good, but could be better (with the same code i mean).
fresh!
wow! really cool concept. And the lighting looks great. only thing is that the scenes look a bit dead when the camera isnt moving at all.. Esp. in the part where the cubes move to the beat. just a minor snag though. :)
erintsd meg a lemezt.
Blingy Fresh.
Nice
this is so amiga :-)
is ok
Okay, why not...here's the thumb!
fresh!
Nice atmosphere and good looking 3d stuff. Even though it's not my piece of cake, this one is still better than most 64k intros released in 2004. However, I don't dig the music and those logos are really ugly :)
the more i watch it the more i like it ! brilliant ! ( except for crappy logos ofcourse :P )
took awhile, but i watched it again. and i must say this is one of the very few intros that ever manage to make me geniunely happy. thank you smash! kickass tune, too!
plus, i disagree with certain others in that i think this looks very finished. guys, something doesn't need to consist of >5 alphablended layers in order to be done.

this deserved a nomination....
well it got one.
great production
lacks content, action & sync.
yeah
incredible style.
Sweet Harmony.
Colours & shapes!
Love the shapes
fresh, fresh somfan
ok i came again to say 
very nice. even without the shiny objects and glow. ;)
not bad
design is not great, but technical features is great ;]

good one.
good.
Intelligent use of shading & cool zik.
Not fresh but rather warm as hell !
good one, not mindblowing great, but good :)
heavy sys req. but looks very good
Good relaxed city scape music, shapes and streamers.
Cool relaxed stuff.
chasing the fairlight ribbon through time...
:)
Looking great!
Red Ribbon <3

fresh eyecandy
damn... kudos for smash again!
Where was my thumb... hum... fresh. Deserves an high poly, per pixel, remake.
fresh! indeed
Great.
What the title says! :)
this intro makes for some excellent screenshots. This was definately one of the prods that made 2004 interesting imo.
fresh
awesome ribbons & soundtrack

Good prod. I like the first scene really much.
hsams!
I was watching your earl 2000s 64k productions... What a sudden jump forward in terms of quality!
Freshness from 2004
I think Smash should make more music! :)
Reminds me of claymation stuff in some way. Neat :)
different
Cool
neato
i actually like the music most about this one
