Completely agree. This demo was one of the first "big" 3D shows (which always win TP, you know :), and a really good one. Cool design, athmospheric and moody music by Dune, and great transitions. Worth seeing :)
Yeah. It's a big 3d show but has a lot of appeal compared to all those 3d mammoths during the next years. It was also the first time I saw some nice keyframing in a demo.
Hmm, yes it's still prolly my favourite 3d demo. Do a better one if you can. :)

I had seen that in my 486,. it's the first nature underwater scene I have ever seen,.. and in a sooo old machine! Really nice...
Bloody awesome. Blew me (and the competition, let's not forget those poor saps) away at tp5 -which was a terrible party if it wasn't for some of the releases, Caero included. Great music, pretty scenes (okay, they were bloody fantastic -especially the fish) and I liked the ending (which was mistaken for a bug by some people)
could someone please make an avi / divx or something out of it? it wouldnt run on my new computer. i remember this production was so cool, i'd like to see it again..
one of the best demos ever.
Definately. even that it was almost the first, it proved before the others that 3D-demos don't have to be boring/idiotic/meaningless.

A good demo, a bit sucky musics. Some of the textures were really good and some of them were really bad..
Should probably be Plant & EMF, but, whatever. The music is an FSOL-imitation, but I really like it. The scenes were awe-inspiring for the time. It still has much more of an "atmosphere" to it than most 3D shows today.
damn yes, this one was really impressive those days, i remember the polygon filler was a bit buggy and produced white lines on some polygon outlines but hell, this one has a great atmosphere (and this error was common ;P ).
The music rocks as well

I haven't seen this demo since it was new.. but remember I liked it a lot. I remembered this as being by EMF as well (I was a fan of the stuff saracen was doing at the time.. I like the intro "Porno" at the time :)).
it sure rocked as hell.
Try watching it 'under the influence'... :-)
Best 3d ever :)
I still watch this every week

has an awkward vibe. must be the colors
I would put on my earphones, close my eyes, and enter the waterworld, the virus world, the butterflies, everything. And when it ended, again, and again, and again until I would fall asleep on my chair. Awesome.
just watched this again after few years, still rulez. it has that something that most of the 3d demos lack.
Very nice demo with excellent soundtrack, but since upgrading from p200 it never worked again.
Surprise, it's running again and so it will be also included in my next demoshow :)
nice music & ambience.
I emphasize droids comment on this one.

Quite
Crest, does the beginning work on your config? I've had always problems with the start on faster (even on P133 or so) computers and the demo gives just blank screen until the tunnel part.
one of my all time favourites
Has anyone got the module as xm/s3m or whatever?
Then I want it :)

loaderror: For the caero module (as well as other modules from famous demos) you can check out phoenix' demodulate site :-)
btw, I have to mention once more that this demo rocks my world.

oh the memories.. the music is just wonderfull, and such a good mood-setter.
My face demo from 1995!
face == fave
whatever

One those demos that just stuck. This was one of my top 3 demos for a very very long time. It has the atmospheric impression which just stuck on you - and the soundtrack of course is so brilliant that it hurts.
Many 3d demos of today can learn something here...

Brilliant!
oi! the atmosphere!
Great flow/ambience. To bad it wasn't included on Mindcandy.
bestest!
I just got an urge to see this. It wasn't on Mindcandy like I hoped.. and doesn't work with dosbox :(
One of the few pure 3d demos I adore.

i think this one's by plant only..
thumbs up!
nope, it's a plant+emf co-op
so marvellous! didn't we need a new cdc anyway?
Masterpiece.
How much can i LOVE the soundtrack...HOW MUCH!

One of the best demos ever. I love the sound-track and the overall mood. It is one of the old pieces one can show to scene interested people even nowadays.
OOOOHH, I had almost forgotten about this one.
I remember getting the chills and getting fukkin blown away watching this at TP5.
The music is so faachin great. Nobody beats the DUNE!!!! 10 POINTS!!! Where are the hearts???

Beautiful!
Good Demo. Pretty fitting tune.
epic
for the music especially, i'm not worthy...
great show!
What a music!
MUSIC!
great music!
one of the best 3d shows ever
great
missing thumb is no longer missing.
Not bad, but did not really like this kind of "pc" style back then, and not now :) not the best tune from Dune either
wow
the music blew me away back then ...
Massive then, massive still. More important than it's given credit.
great soundtrack by dune, nice relaxing demo.
Great for being 1995!
One of the few demos that haven't aged at all.
Though many 3D rendered demos got outdated fairly quickly due to the rapid increase of hardware power during the 90s, Caero indeed is one of the special ones that managed to retain its beauty. Partially of course that is also due to the beautiful 2D effect work and graphics, but nevertheless.
The 3D hits the sweet spot of the era; not too many textures, perfect muted color palettes, just enough polygons, no too complex models. There is enough details right where it needs to be, and not too much anywhere else. Even the texture mapping which lacks perspective correction gives an amazing disoriented feeling to some of the camera spins. The cameras and overall direction give quite a similar to certain video tapes put out for an example by Warp Records in the early-mid 90s. Everything within each scene just melds together beautifully.
The theme of the demo is obvious. It's about evolution. We depart from precambrian oceans with a quick gander to the first cell divisions and finally arrive to the first bacteria and other simple organisms. With a swift transition we skip the cambrian explosion, now fish inhabit the oceans. This is probably the only weaker part of the demo for me, since the soundtrack doesn't feel quite so coherent here. A brief look into early life above water is also seen.
I'm not sure if these evolutionary events are taking place on earth though. The whole demo has a very eery otherworldly feeling, largely set by the supreme music by Dune. The scene with the butterflies is perhaps my favorite in the entire demo. I love the grey murky sky that encapsulates the world. It's barren yet feels so alive, perfectly supported by the somber chords of the soundtrack. Then there is of course the the part with the pillars and the lights flying about, which further implies the mystique around this realm.
The end implies the evolution of a human-like creature, featuring probably my all time favorite pixel art piece. The demo ends with all of the earlier lifeforms passing through a portal of some sorts, read into it how you like. Perhaps a metaphor about the balance of nature. This is not a perfect demo, hardly any demo is, but it's so much more than the sum of its parts it might as well be, and deserves and eternal coup de cœur from me.

Now this is a beauty. What noby set - otherworldly! And the music! THE MUSIC! THE MUSIIIIIIIIIIC!!!!!!!
what guardian said

What noby and neoman said.
Great 3D show. Dimmed colors and excellent music won't let it be outdated.

Thanks moT!
