- demo Windows Return to Void by piBaron
- Very impressive and well directed.
I suspect that the entire visuals are based on fractal flames. The demo has that characteristic look, especially the swirls at the start with highlighted areas, which are typical of an accumulation buffer mapped to colors logarithmically.
Flames / IFS can do things like map points to a sphere, using nonlinear transforms. The distortions and other effects are then simply a smooth change of low weight secondary parameters, while leaving the base shape more or less intact. Could also be manipulation of the IFS iteration itself. - rulezadded on the 2026-09-03 19:54:30

- Very well executed parametrized terrain effect, beautiful.
I also felt that the escalation of the visuals towards the end did not work super well. In particular, the elevated-esque rays from the horizon break the portal effect! So much effort to create an illusion, and then ruining it.
Just some feedback with much love! - rulezadded on the 2026-04-11 12:11:02

- demo Windows Rainmaker by Byterapers [web] & Doomsday
- I really don't get the hate because of a big download. If you don't like it, there are size limited categories you can watch instead (I say that as a sizecoder).
I also don't get the hate because of Notch. Sure, I won't give extra credits for the rendering, but the visual design in scene after scene is just excellent. Detailed, vibrant, dynamic, dramatic. The cityscape was shown for too long and detracts a bit from the pure effects showcase that the rest of the demo is. But that's a minor nitpick. - rulezadded on the 2024-04-02 04:05:42
- 4k Windows Once Upon A Time In A Datacenter by iapafoto [web]
- Liked this one a lot. The problem with procedural generation is that it doesn't draw attention to itself when done well. Having done "realistic" sizecoding as well, I know how much work must have gone into something humble like the rows of books. I also liked that there was a clear story and mood to it, that makes it memorable. Great job!

- thumbs up for concept, even though it lacks a bit of oomph for 256b.
