Demoscene Demos

[madanchi 18]

Wiki paste:

 

"The demoscene is a computer art subculture that specializes in producing demos, which are non-interactive audio-visual presentations that run in real-time on a computer. The main goal of a demo is to show off programming, artistic, and musical skills.

 

The demoscene first appeared during the 8-bit era on computers such as the Commodore 64, ZX Spectrum and Amstrad CPC, and came to prominence during the rise of the 16/32-bit home computers (the Amiga or Acorn Archimedes in the UK and Germany, and the Atari ST). In the early years, demos had a strong connection with software cracking. When a cracked program was started, the cracker or his team would take credit with a graphical introduction called a "crack intro" (shortened cracktro). Later, the making of intros and standalone demos evolved into a new subculture independent of the software (piracy) scene."

 

 

What they are:

They are all demos within the Demoscene. Demos reached their peak in popularity during the years of Amiga and Accommodore 64. Demos aimed to push the boundaires of current hardware and show off what the team could pull off in real time. There has been some outstanding demos released, some of which whent further than what was thought possible. This is also when chiptunes where at a high!

 

Today demoscene isn't as popular, but still active with some spectacular releases broadening peoples imagination and huge inspirations. It is an art form, as you may notice in the video below and even back in the days amazing pixel art was drawn.

 

Just watch the videos and hopefully you too will see the ebauty they hold.

This is isnane... Using atoms and points they make an entire fully 3D world. Much better detail than polygons don't you think?

Here is a great website with many demos on there, have a look at the top 10!

Remember these ar ALL done in real time, so keep in mind if you try to run these, be sure you have a powerfull computer otherwise some won't even load

 

 

Original Post:

 

 

So does anyone have any idea what this is of? I personally love them! They very entertaining, creative, artistic and push hardware to their limits. Some reach smooth fps whereas others simply struggle, it's down to your hardware.

 

Some of you may have an idea, but most of you probably don't unless researched. If someone guesses correct, I'll make this thread into a full 'whateverthisis' thread, and supply many many of them, videos, websites, events etc.

What? Didn't make much sense

Edited January 8, 2012 by madanchi

[rgangsta 43]

Yeah. I guessed a lotus but obviously you're talking about computer hardware, right?

[madanchi 18]

ahh, well not hardware specifically no, that comes under something they aim to test

[Calvinchun 3]

I guessed you talking about effect...

I am so confused.

 

WHATISTHISIS?

 

My guess is particle effects?

 

(or does calvin beat me?)

[Bob423 52]

what is this i dont even

[Foxkit 4]

hmm I gunna take a few guesses (yay for 3D animation xD)

1. particle effect (last picture makes this doubtful)

2. depth of field(last picture makes this possible)

3. "Faces" on models, aka how many sides a model has.

4. Fractal imaging?

[Calvinchun 3]

I am so confused.

 

WHATISTHISIS?

(or does calvin beat me?)

 

LOL... We have the same opinions... XD

 

And im gonna make reason for my answer..

 

1st pictures show a flower but sparklies.. The flower in sparklies make it 100% effect (Because there are no flower like that XD)

2nd Picture like alien spaceship turning around in space... LOL

3rd pictures Butterfly swift movement... (Not recognized either)

4th Pictures Like fire effect surrounding animals..

5th pictures Image see like wheels turning so this might be called (Effect)

 

Was i right?

[kellessdee 48]

Okay I think I figured it out...if it hasn't been mentioned yet; I know what it really is.

 

I won't say it though, only 'cuz I cheated and used google xD

[madanchi 18]

No on yet? Good guesses though, logically speaking. hmmm, well I think I'll just say the answer soon

I know what it is now!!

In fact, there is a company that boasts that they can get fast game rendering with it :3

unless, that guess is wrong and If so I have NO idea what it is....

demos made in the demoscene? I dunno what I would refer to it as specifically, but this:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Demoscene

 

I googled the title bar of the last pic, and found this and went from there :3
