nice. Could've been better if the scenes had been more tied together in a nice way...
anyway, some (good) new-looking stuff here.

revolutionary 65KB ! :)

AP once again show they are the group of the future with funky, refreshing effects

want more beer, jar? :)

Cool!
It was an interesting to the art of effect.:)
And it was 65KB.

tårms årp!!

tårms årp!!

thumbs up. I've never seen jar drink so much beer yet code so frantic at a party.

cool ;) next time dont forget to upload your texcoord pointer jar :D

Alien Prophets did it again !
A real nice job with meta-balls, and cool 'sounds' !
It Rockz ....

music and especially the effects rock, but there's nearly no syncro, plus the transitions are quite bad. could've been a hit.

nod to robotriot, at last some new effects! music does the job well. No gfx, no transitions. The effects save the day. I liked it! :-)

Yup, I liked this one. Some nice effects, but transitions or something would have been even better.

Like a 64k version of anything else done by Alien Prophets - good, unique effects, no consistent design or transition. Music is allright, percussion is a bit like hplus.

enough cool fx to stuff a dozen of intros.. next time - a bit more sense to it please! 8)
oh, and the orange-meta-plane (or whatever it is)-scene brings my geforce to a screeching halt.. nice.. 8}

I am not a coder bhead, but I suspect this is rather your cpu choking, not you geforce... Am I wrong? :-)

great intro, cool fx.. needs maybe more syncro? fucking subjective anyway. go on, guys!

yes yes very good intro, on my butt is now written "alien prophets" coz they kicked my ass this time :) keep up the good work guys

good job!

good job!

although i'm getting flamed for it, but please stop overrating this intro...
it's good to watch but it definitely isn't worth a thumb up.

now shoot

Are you crazee PigPen? Putting such a comment is only going to make the popularity of this intro skyrocket! You are actually _boosting_ its ratings! :-)

Anyway. This is a democracy. We vote for what we like. If you don't like it, vote it down and tell us why. You just can't force your view upon anyone else. Hell, Cocoon said it right:

"You shall not force your will upon others" :-P

do you feel like fulfilling every suggestion to you? ;)

anyway, this was my comment to the prod. in other words:

in my opinion, this is not a "thumbs-up-prod" and for me, it is overrated.
and i do not vote thumbs down, because between black and white there it at least grey ;) (and fairness, though)

Regarding that "orange meta-plane" moT was talking about.. I have an Athlon 1.4GHz, GeForce2 Pro & DetXP 21.85.. and it's slow as hell for me too. Is it P4/SSE-only code?! GeForce 3-only? Who knows (and who cares, really).

bhead, not moT, sorry.

moT was there too.. 8)
(btw my setup is dual-pIII-600, 512ram, geforce, 21.85.. but whataheck, it looks kinda nice anyways 8))

yea, that specific effect is slow here, too (athlon 1ghz/geforce/640mb)

a bunch of really eye pleasing fx thrown in randomly to form a mess with inconsistant design. and no attempt to make anything fit with the music.
the music is great btw.

I second _'s comments, but I do give it a thumbs up for the music, which gives the intro a very nice, restless, gloomy atmosphere. The orange (raytraced?) metaplane slows down here too (PIII 1GHz-384ram), so I'm rooting for a little explanation from one of the Prophets on why this is happening. Do we need a P4 or...?

Good job guys !!!
But little slow on my PIII 500/GeForce 2 MX/256 Mo ??? ;)

this production is so unlike previous alien prophet productions... no synchro, no fancy approach to effects. I guess it has been thrown out in a few hours to test their hw code.

nice effects, but that's all.

nu må i satme gøre det bedre til SE ;-)

its easy to get marchingcubes slow.. since its VOLUMES ie.. for instant... 30x30x30 compared to 40x40x40 .. hit it on the calculator and see the difference :)

if you are sitting on a machine and party coding.. its easy to put those grids a bit to high if youre sitting on a fast machine.. i guess thats what they did.. so did we acctually ;D

other reason could be that their marching cubes code is just slow ;)

stop peddling your code advice and get to work on your own stuff.

the part with the plane in the grid was a bit slow here too.. i don't think it's because of their mcubes stuff tho (the other balls ran at a reasonable framerate)

probably something else cpu/fill-rate expensive :D

Nevertheless, it's still quite a tasty release... waiting for stunning intros from AP then!

music dont follow the visuals, and is too standard
visuals are only designed one by one, but no coherence of the whole intro, no gfxs ...
i dont like effects without coherence/transitions
another intro, nothing exciting, lack of time perhaps

it's a nice show.

bah. unimaginative and unoriginal nu-media crap... (since macaw didn't say it, somebody else had to:)

Nice effects, but the scenes aren't really connected to each other anyway. And that one effect run <1fps on my computer (900duron and gf2mx).
Anyway a nice intro, but i've seen better.

ah. very very good.

Nice Work my Alien Brothas!

tell me dear metaballs how tasty was bizk's brain ?

I liked all the bits that weren't jizzblobs.

uhu

i prefered "jizzblobs", allthough it sounds a bit pervert. anyway, nice effects.. a bit slooooow framerate thought. ;)

Hm... Kinda "been-there-done-that" intro... but hey, we al l like that, don't we? (no we don't :)

it doesnt look very original as a whole but seperate effects and screens look really well and refreshing. good stuff and the name is cool to =]

lacks originality, but looks
ok, so I'll give it a 'piggie' :)

i don't think that it lacks originality. the metaballs (okay, i might be a little bit mad about them) seem so fresh... the music also is somewhat chll / kickass!

the blob strikes back! refreshing is a good word, raver... a short, sweet, tasty intro.

Pretty bland.

I disagree as to it being bland. It had some effects which I don't often see in windows demos. Maybe in Amiga demos, but that's a different story.

rockz !

each individual scene is really well designed and the effects look kewl and manage to be somewhat arty without any overlaid bitmaps or (much) text.. in retrospect i admit the design of the whole kinda lacks.. but its still one of my favorite 64ks.. great music too..

Nice effects and an average track

Excellent intro.

i can't find any very special things about this intro... oh well, some effects were nice and "modern".

i like it!

me 2

lovely intro.
great atmosphere, music, effects and name.

ftp://ftp.scene.org/pub/parties/2001/trsac01/in64/05_ap-meta.zip

The effects are quite nice, but everything looks so randomly thrown together. The music is nice.

cool

Alien prod !
My favourite part is that with orange metaballs+plane (clever env-map!) with the background (the outlined circles in the bkg are quite cute).
Metaballs ate sceners' brain.

Lots of great visuals, though the colorschemes really don't fit and some of it has been seen done better..

goody

good effects, no design.

OK Intro. my favorite part is the orange metaball part as well.

ap ftw, jar for president

no thumb from me?! fawk, this one rules bigtime :)

-b
cool effects

i like this a lot! VERY nice music!

Greetingspart is nice, rest is utterly boring.

jizzblobs!

Great. I also liked the orange metaball part

Hypnotic;
Nice music;
The orange thing still looks great.

had some cool effects and music but kind of failed to put them together, probably due to rushed deadline or something, a shame.

For 2001?? Thumb by me.

Forgot to mention though...feels like it could've been done in software..

what xernobyl schrieb

the music is hammer, especially for 64k
but for the the graphics, fewer, maybe only one tightly coupled scene would have been better imo

must have thumbed this before, my favourite 64k ever

Looks pretty nice

great music and nice effects. perfect nu-school intro

What preacher and mr.doob said.
I like the tune and the screenshot scene the most.

Very calm 64k intro

yes
