Your best intro till date! Omg.. beauty!
Where Will this end?
Where Will this end?
Everything i said to you personally. And i do mean it :)
Beautiful.
Awesome! The visual structure of Part 2, 4, and 6(?) look too generic raymarchy for my taste, but apart from that the visuals are really gorgeous. Nice transition, and I also like the music a lot!
Great. Love the burning coke ribbon. Put some overlays on it and you basically have a full demo.
Wow! Epic soundtrack. Lots of cool scenes and variation in 4k, nice transition effect. As magic said, also my favourite Virgill intro so far.
Sir Winalot strikes again....awesome intro ;)
Imo the best 4ķ in recent years
Ace! Told you so! :)
This was amazing!
Out of words error!
This must be one of the best 4K Intros I ever seen. It has it all. That glowing/burning ribbon-twister is sick! Ace just got highACE!

Some really good looking scenes, especially the glowing-twist-bar thing seen in the screenshot looked absolutely ace, perfect degree of DOF etc.
the scene in the screenshot looks awesome, i just wish the music would have progressed a little more...
anyway, super nice 4k virgill!

very, very awesome.
The transitions are really sweet.

I'm a but torn on this. While the engineering in the music is flawless and the tune is rad, the visuals feel very disconnected and I found the transition effect to be too long and very disorienting. The amount of DOF was really nice but the effect itself felt a bit cheap and I got the feeling the camera didn't really know what to focus on. Not to mention the intro runs pretty slow on my ~1.5yo laptops, but then again, only conspiracy intros that still draw polygons do run smooth these days :)
Don't get me wrong, this is cearly fantastic work. Just needs a bit more polish and finesse. That's the level you're at now :)

i'm just utterly amazed. fucking wow. ♥
Awesome intro.
nice
the colors are too pure and bright, they could use some grading to make them less bright and slightly tilted, and to glue the parts together
some of the surfaces look too clean, add more noise and patterns
the music is okayish, i guess? not irritating, but i don't remember any of it even after watching. there was a flute sound.

You've outgunned yourself this time, Virgill.
The amount of finesse within the sounds alone is outstanding. Physical modeling in 4k - seriously? Crazy. And the visuals are dope, too.

I'll be damned, Virgill ain't fucking around. Lots of content and very respectable rendering quality for 4k. Even has depth of field, and looks pretty good too despite being just gaussian as far as I can tell. And yeah the performance was... not exactly great, but it was fun having it draw the frames in sync with the music (that stab instrument) :)
As far as criticism goes I'm siding with ferris and yzi.

Simply great
Wow. Quality sounds, quality visuals, a proper transition effect - and to top it off a huge number of scenes. I'm very impressed.
mind blowned again, after all the yes alcatraz still on the top
Still, for me the perfect title would have been: B4Kon 😉
Rest is the usual blabla like "you are the best", "that modelling is awesome" and such.. we all know that already.
Now, that you even win with remote entries you should really think about establishing a business model out of it. 😂

say it was in her honor, I would thumb up.
french like
nicely done. (somewhat boring towards the end, though)
That's impressive, Mr Virgill
The transition effect started to look gimmicky after the umpteenth repetition, but that's really my only complaint. The scenes looked great and the music was awesome. Top notch work.
what alpha c said!
Beautiful, great audio, wow
Just great, goes without saying. The liquid twister was probably the best looking single effect I've seen this year.
The flute does it for me. The visuals look nice and all (the scene in the screenshot especially), but I must say I'm really tired of the same-looking intros now, after a decade of indistinguishable-looking things. Clear thumb, don't get me wrong, I just feel that we've kinda seen "generic use" of this technique enough now - we get it - enough. Now please try to do some interesting storytelling or cinematography on top to make things stand out. Also, the blinds-transition got very old, very fast.
Really awesome in all possible ways. Really impressive!
Here goes my thumb :)
Thoroughly enjoyed, impressive 4k!
Soundtrack
I know it´s a bit repetitive.. But the more notes, the more space needed ;=)
Thanks for all your nice comments! <3
And special thanks to LJ, who showed me how ternary operators work. :)

music, sync and variations almost enough for complete demo
That is an impressive amount of content in a such a small package. Lots of effort and it shows. Nice transitions, cool soundtrack, nice synth and amazing textures.
Bacon ftw \o/ awesomeish stuff and probably the bestestestest 4K this year. No shame to "lose" against.
I think I managed to tell you on every possible platform, but I'll take yet a shot at it: That overblown flute is INSANE for a 4k synth. Clearly, this proves why all coders should learn about music and why all musicians should learn to code. I do know some of the stuff going on for the physical modelling, but being able to pull it off in the stack based design in 4klang is downright impressive. Also, to the people claiming this and tbat effect got boring after a couple of times: It was great the first time, right? Breaking the pattern by leaving it out would add more bytes. So I completely understand the reason for transitions, camera shake (which was perfectly administered - not too violent, not too subtle) to appear with tbe regularity they did. I have little knowledge of the tech stuff for the visuals, so from a purely visual perspective, everything looked really nice. Great choice of colors for the blue light and the twister, that to me definitely was caramel in the making! Massive effort on this one, Virgill.
Mighty impressive 4k, Virgill. Probably raised the bar once more with this. The music, while basic in nature, is still very pleasant on the ears. Thumb up! :)
Awesome
impressive
Great stuff!
Geile Sache, Junge!
great!
That's magic!
Really great!
Very nice
Woah, just great! Big thumbs up for awesome syncs.
Really nice prod with aptly syncs.
That flute!
A bit hard bumped "water" but nice colors, also for me, a bit less blur would have been great. I'm not saying blur ain't good, but if you reveal sharpness, there is somekind of bias towards it :)

Awesome productions. I love the soundtrack! The visuals are nice too, although a little incoherent (in design and coloring). But technically really impressive. And cool diagonal cuts for the transitions :)
incredible!
fuck yessssss!
fantastic audiovisual 4k all in all! Good color selection, the DOF effect makes everything pop! Excellent one-man production!
Deserved.
wow
If just for the great soundtrack and fitting visuals it would have been good, but still not exceptional entry. But luckily, physically-based synth adds a final touch to it :)
GREAT BALLS OF FIRE!!!!
Audio + visuals: Double jawdropper!
...what all the others said :-)
Beautiful as always, but definitely echoing leGend in saying it seemed a bit blurry at times.
Great
Lots of scenes in this one!
The flute sample could've carried a better intro into classicdom. As it stands now it's competent but forgettable.
Wild wild wild visuals & flute for a 4kb!
Too bad there is no flow and the scenes are completely disconnected :\

Now I know what Pixtur was trying to replicate on his stream the other night. ;P Very awesome 4K. Music was fantastic.
The visuals look nice and all but... honestly I had trouble looking at them because the whole time I was too busy paying attention to how good the soundtrack is. I don't remember ever hearing this level of quality in a 4k before.
Back to visuals, I agree with some of ferris' criticism. The visuals are very good but not great, and they lack a direction to tie the whole thing together and sell it.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAwesome :)
Virgill for president ! That was really cool ! Nice visual and awesome soundtrack.
Great!
What rascy said! :D
And what others said about the Transitions...too long!
Music is ofcoz way too good for good ole 4klang! You are doing quite some magic there! :)
I really wonder how you got them many parts with that much postproc into the 4k-limit...but i guess it´s as simple as you by now having realized your soundtracks are way too big for 4k and so you just made it smaller, a lot smaller! ;) (I had hard times back when we made intros together with your soundtracks being 50% bigger than my own repetitive stuff i had used before, haha!)

I'm a sucker for these 4ks that seem to somehow have space to play with screen space effects and transitions, so I would have thumbed this up even if it wasn't awesome.
really cool visuals, uncommon sound. top!
incredible! keep it up!
fukkin' lava twister !
wow!
MegaCool!
it rocks. a shitload.
maybe a little shallow in terms of design, but I really liked the take on materials in this 4k - and a lot of variations over the same theme for sure..
lava for ever !!! great
exceptional once again! very nice refererence to 'closer'
Visually nice, but not crazy about its music. :(
All this was missing was David Gahan on vocals.
Why U code as good as your music skills? Great 4k. Actually the music was a bit weaker in this release, but still hard to say anything negative about this awesome intro. So, go on, this one was sehr gut! I think this one is my favorite 4k so far this year.
Really awesome, your best yet.. Great materials and renderer. Loved the dof and the grid of solid stuff with the clear bits on the struts.... Loooooovely 4k <3
The scene in the screenshot is so awesome! And the music is incredible for a 4k. What an amazing compo!
Go Go Gadget Demo! - very very impressive!
yes please!
Beautiful!
<3
THUMB!
Massive!
WOW !!!
So shiny, especially that lava thing <3
And of course that overblown flute... <3

The sound in this one is above the rest. That flute was totally mad! Actually there is very little about the sound to reveal it is a 4k. Perhaps only the notes that go 'bip bip bip bip bip' sound a bit 4Kish because of the structure (I imagine that equally spaced trigger pattern compresses nicely). Really outstanding stuff!
Visuals are also really good looking and fit the music I think. The fire twister is the highlight. Only snag was that the transition effect feels a bit too 60-70s styled compared to the visuals. Maybe fade to black and up from black in movie trailer style would have been more epic.

Holy shit. O_o
great soundtrack! visuals awesome as always.

Very very polished :]
Cool
Good.
That's a pretty twister

SUPER GEIL LAN ;D
Thank you all :) Didn´t expect that much positive feedback. <3
Here´s the glowing lattice effect on Shadertoy:

Great work in many respects
nice track, some okay post processing, but the geometry -- uhh...
Pretty astonishing stuff, also great synth!
Nice work :)
Very pretty
I don't like the visuals as much as some others here, since it's mostly "only" high-quality/shiny versions of things we've seen before. The direction together with the music made it for me, but if that rendering and postprocessing would be applied to some more interesting geometry... now that would be something.
And the last one for Shadertoy:

the overtone flute!
amazing 4k!
gr8, moody tune
Some of this was cool, some less so, some things felt a little off, though I can't put my finger on what exactly. But overall I liked it.
Wow!
One of the best 4k intros!

Really nice 4k :)
that effect in the screenshot 😍
cool soundtrack
great intro! I love everything, the colors are really nice :)
Amazing.
Insane.
This is one of the prods that brought me here :) Everything is beautiful, well-timed and satisfying to watch.
