• 4k Windows Piscine parfaite by Archee [web]
• Beautiful rendering, but the ripples somehow look wrong - like there's just a single circular ripple from each splash. Still a very easy thumb for the rendering though :)

• wild Animation/Video Artifact by CrownGear
• betasector: it's not just dynamic lights it needs. Ideally it needs some kind of GI / AO to make the lighting pretty, but if that's not practical (probably not if you're in a rush :) then static lighting could be a lot better. Lighting is an essential skill for 3D work by the way - it's just as important as modelling I think. A well lit cube can look better than a badly lit but high quality model.
  
  I'd suggest, say for the screenshot, a rim light (placed behind the objects and just slightly to one side. That would give it more definition. Also, possibly a weak, distant light pointing directly upwards and coloured light brown, set to only light the blue tentacles - this would give you a fake reflected light from the floor.
  
  Both should be set to no shadows of course :)

• wild Animation/Video Artifact by CrownGear
• Not too bad. Music was quite nice. As a demo its pretty much there, but as a wild I felt the lighting and materials really let it down - they're more like mid-2000s realtime than a sexy looking render.

• game Windows Cirix by Adok
• A game should either be fun to play or educational (ideally both). But it also has to appeal enough for people to pick it up and try it, especially when there are a million or so other games out there.
  
  Here you've created something that lacks any kind of appeal. Visually it looks like something I don't want to play, and the gameplay doesn't look interesting enough to put up with the bad design.
  
  I'm thumbing it down without downloading for exactly that reason.

• demo Windows Square by Still [web]
• I can't believe this won at the party. Don't demos this good always come second? Crazy good shit, some really stunning effects, massive atmosphere, and I also happen to love that tune :D

• 256b MS-Dos zebate by fsqrt [web]
• Whoa, looked quite nice on the screenshot, but in 3d with rotation and a semi-hollow gear? Fuck yeah!

• 4k Amiga AGA Blurya by Phibrizzo
• It strikes me that using the directx libs in a dos demo would definitely be cheating, while using the directx libs in a windows demo is considered normal.
  
  This looks to be the same scenario - it's a 4k that runs under the amidos / workbench platform rather than as a bootblock or something. I can't see the issue with using the standard system libs in that case.
  
  Not seen the demo, so no vote :)
