• demo Windows For Your Love by Andromeda Software Development [web]
• No, sorry. It is what it is on the day of the compo, I then try to completely forget about it. As long as its there in some playable format and good video, its ok for me.

• 1k JavaScript EXPI by Ribbon [web] & Brainlez Coders!
• The 1k is the most strange beast. I never understood it - how much harder is it to make content than 4k? and how much more easy than 256 ?
  In any case this was clearly the winner.

• demo Windows Approach Point by Pyrotech
• ok, so... Pyrotech makes "in your face" demos that are big crowd pleasers, with high FOV camera travelling etc. They used to call them "Fly-by" demos, but theirs are more than that.
  
  The one from this year is no different. Lots of colors and explosion moments. First scene that I liked was the credits with the boxes moving behind the text. I think that the text deformation was an unintentional consequence of the motion blurring effect, but it works oh so well here ! Then the guy crawling with the particles falling - for some strange reason I felt his desperation and his exhaustion. It is as if I was myself thirsty. That's a good thing !
  
  The best part is in the middle with the metaballs and the red slimey thing. That was one of the best effects of this year - maybe would work better with more fogging or different colors. I don't know how it's done, but it's effective. The fadeout in the music during this part was spot on, creating good atmosphere. The dancing guy at the end reminds us a bit of EΞΠΕΡΤ guys (remember tham from Asm 2015 I think). Maybe it's the same dataset and playback system on unreal. It looks great because of the motion blurring effect that is used to the right amount. The demo ends where it starts, so that gives it a bit of continuity.
  
  It's quite uplifting, maybe a bit short and maybe with too much color saturation. Not sure if unreal engine helps you or not, there were some good -even better- demos (Within Epsilon?) in the past, done without it.

  Which elements are volumetric pointclouds with remeshing and are there some clever comping here with 2.5D pointcloud stuff or just plain video?

  
  
  Everything is in 3D. The first part with the pointcloud/splines/skeleton face is only pointclouds/splines, the later parts full geometry (indices/uvs etc). There is no 2.5D. The first part with the splines is the "heaviest" cpu part as it is calculating a lot on the fly (the physical like threads waved from hands and head) but it's well parallelised etc so it's not very heavy.
  The albedo texture of each frame is also exposed to the shader - it "refreshes" at a random interval (at a ratio of about 1:8) which helps the random spastic movements in the shading. The texture is upscaled internally and the main effect of the weird dithering is simple:
  
  output = vec3(1.0) * sin ( UV.x*1000.0);
  
  That is, the default texture is replaced by horizontal lines. It works because the UV mapping has patches rotated in space, therefore looks like thatched lines that meet at random points. The frequency of the sin is also controlled by the default albedo texture. Add shadows, some AO, and lots of postprocess and it's close to the effect on the screen.
  
  Alll other lighting and particles is deferred, and most of the background and certain elements of the scenery (moons, bridge, water) is effectively 2D in postprocess. There is a special shader to recolor everything in HSV space based on velocity of elements - you see it more clearly in the first part where the fast moving hands are purple. There is a bit of raymarching here and there (both "inside eye" scenes and all volumetric lighting in the tunnel).

• demo JavaScript Wake Up / Rise Up
• Fantastic music ! Usage of greetings typography as the main focus of the demo a novel idea (for PC productions) and that works quite well. Funny that there are two demos this year with the same message (the other one being the on from adapt - Just demo it).

• demo Windows JUST DEMO IT. by Adapt [web]
• It is based on the great narrative idea of showing you the what you need to do in order to make a demo. As such, it doesn't matter that is seems to be disconnected because there is an overarching connection to the elements (Demo man). It was made in a very short amount of time (Extremely short I would say). Adapt always captures the attention of the audience and that shows in their consistency with the rankings. Maybe it is because the vibe is always "traditional demo", that is, technically complex effects - bombastic music - saturated colors - straight and to the point.

• demo JavaScript Mundane Institute by mikucom
• Lost as to why it came so low in the rankings.

• Also the decoding/decompressing of the frames is super-fast at 100's of fps. What takes considerably longer, unfortunately, is the composition of that into display lists. Don't ask me why I use display lists and not something else (much) faster like VBO to keep in memory. I had a good reason but I forgot it :-).
