I loved it! macaw hates it, so it must be good! :-P

Seriously now. Works fine for me. It is rather long and dangerously approaches the limit of being boring. But it is different. It's got lots of vectors. It's got strange transitions. The ambient music is also interesting to say the least. To sum up, it's strange. Guess you'll only understand if you watch it.

hm.. has potention but needs polishing. oh and uhm.. flip those normals somewhere near the end :) (or was the back of that triangular thing intentionally left black?)

intentionally. no flip polygon errors in our prods.

its an ok prod. but it lacks some greater design. its too boring to watch the scenes without any poetry of some kind. the colours is nice. i like the transitions and the flat and wireframe scenes. i like that. soundtrack has a good atmospheric rythm. keep on doing this, and try improving your design. its a nice and good prod. indeed.
i didn't mangage to watch it until the end. a bit too repetative, boring... just not my taste.

Good idea.. but so boring. Too much alpha effects (it runs slow in an AMD1000Mhz and a GeforceII). I have pressed the ESCAPE key before the end.

Ugh... I couldn't stomach watching this to the end. *VERY* boring. Slow moving and stays too long on each uninteresting effect.

Looked interesting but turned out too boring. Sorry but thumbs down! :-I

hoops you never know what subtle effects you just HAVE to dig... demo is beautiful anyhow.

If you have the patience and the intrest to watch abstract ambient melancholy demos, you better don't miss this one. :)

For me, one of the more interesting demos of 2001. It's slow paced, most 'typical' demo elements (credits, greeting, metaballs...) are missing (but that's good) and the music goes hand in hand with the visuals. Good one.

yup, whenever the alpha blending kicks in it slows down a lot.. other than that, this is excellent stuff.. unique mix of lo-fi vectorish graphics with more modern design and code.. good, if not mindblowing, music too.. has an appeal that doesn't seem fixed to any particular era (nuskewl, oldskewl, etc.), so is the kind of demo that'll only get better with age (also because processors and gfx cards will probably get faster ;)

did not start (gf4 instead of gf2? [winMe+Dx8])
Strange demo. Very slow, the ambience and the music seem nice but the coder colors and the general lack of direction kind of ruin this. Perhaps this is one of the demos that should be watched a lot of times..

Boring demo but the ambient soundtrack is killer!
rulez added on the 2007-09-16 10:31:12 by Stebo Stebo
That soundtrack is amongst my favourite demotunes.

It was ok.

btw. If the launcher doesn't work just move file \corrosion - killerclouds\1d\demo.exe to \corrosion - killerclouds\.

here is a new high quality 1080p capture of corrosion pc demo from 2001, significantly upgrading previous versions available on youtube, including our own uploads from 2017 and 2008.

you can run our demo in almost any resolution, using undocumented options to the main demo.exe, with examples provided by two scripts included in the updated archive of the demo that you can download from here https://www.kosmoplovci.net/files/corrosion_-_killerclouds_2024_fix_update.zip

check the included run-1080p-fs.bat and run-720p-fs.bat scripts and adapt to your needs.

options are:
killerclouds.exe WIDTH HEIGHT BITDEPTH SCREEN/WINDOW
for example, "killerclouds.exe 1920 1080 32 screen" will run the demo in 1920x1080 32bit fullscreen

if you have old release archive, you will notice that existing killerclouds.exe doesnt work, so we kept it in updated archive as well but renamed it to killerclouds_gui.exe. that is because it uses some library that install with office, i dont really know which one. in order to make demo work you just need to copy demo.exe from 1d folder to the root of the demo folder. you can optionaly rename it, like we did in our example and updated archive. if run without parameters, demo.exe will run in 640x480 32bit fullscreen

it doesnt require much resources and will run on almost any computer with any gfxcard.
