For those that aren't aware, you need to check the about this video and download the actual track, one of the channels is cut out in the youtube version so you miss the womans voice etc. This is my fave TBL demo of the recent era, I prefer it to Starstruck.
DirectX, OpenGL..pffftt. Developers have never had it so good. This is 100% assembler - 100% raw - 100% hardcore. They just don't make coders like TBL anymore - these days anyone can call themselves a programmer. This is about bending the laws of electronics and squeezing 110% out of the hardware and every last pixel is down to the coders. Utterly sublime skills.
It's sure one of the best demos on Amiga last years. The music is also awesome (pity that video is in so low quality here). I liked especially the parts with those "3d pixels" and the radiosity shaded scene with cubes, which were quite simple to make, but it all gives totally great impression. Great design simply. The Amiga demos have always such a cool spirit :) Amiga rulez! :)
unbelievable. wow thank you blade004 for enlighten me. My Physics Professor (P.Dr. Kern) always talked about his 1st amiga... but i wasnt able to understand him those days ;) i do understand now. Milestone in engineering. ...
@blade004: There will be not next breakpoint :( That was the last one. But this demo is the best one I have ever seen. Even PC sucks according to this one. Best regards.
sorry for late response but you can pre-calculate ambient occlusion quite easily into a texture or to per vertex color/shading. i bet is that most of that scenes AO is precalculated into vertex data and the shadow on the ground is a texture.
@swapd0 Using depth buffers if you want mathematically correct result. Voxel landscape is somewhat simplified version (meaning easy optimization) version of that.
@swapd0 Look into Sparse Voxel Octree's. On more recent hardware you can see them used(look on youtube) in Linger In Shadows which is by another demoscene group, all the animals in that are done using SVO's.
Noone in his right mind would code anything like a demo in basic. One would use assembler embedded in a high level language, On PC, Turbo Pascal was popular because it compiled fast and had embedded assembler. It had a debugger. Earlier machines had CPU reset carts, machine language monitors - different techniques for producing working code depending on a machine.
Very good demo! Nice voxels. Where is the voice? "La mouitarde, c'est fort, et c'est pour ça que c'est bon." To avoid things like that, I think that videos should be converted to mono before uploading.

i love this song
Wow! I haven't seen this one! Very artistic and music is fantastic! Amazing demo scene time... I really miss it...

Love that demo! Especially greets goin to yolk for awesome music!
Amiga 4eva!
OK, the cubes with the ambient occlusion...HOW THE FUCK DID THEY DO THAT?!

the video rocks. i

thanks a lot for video!
hi!
it's 9.7MB, lha-archive.
see this video's description for a page where u can download it.
regards, ro
Wonderful! I love AMiGA! Now I regret I sold my 060/50 turbo board some years ago :( Anyway, superb demo.
phenomenal demo! TBL rulezz! (btw. - nerve axis are great, too) - amiga rulezzz!
TheShadowFX : No, you're not alone ;-)

Yes, you'll see the Decepticons logo in several of their demos :)
Wondering if the soundtrack is really a four channel Amiga mod? If so, does anyone have the mod file? :)
Very good demo! Nice voxels.
Where is the voice?

060 power!
This is real coding! Real DEMO!
la moutarde c'est fort, et c'est pour ca que c'est bon...
Amiga rules :)
Only Amiga does it possible!!!
ambient.
please help to me ! OceanMachine.exe don"t work on my Window 7 >> small black dos screen was - i am used OceanMachine.lha
Amiga Rulez !!!!
Amiga AGA (Advanced Graphics Architecture) => Graphics acceleration.
can you run this on a 500?
melodic IDM maybe?
good music. i'd have done better with graphics
