Very nice and it doesnt require the latest hardware to show off cool things!
Wow. This is teh sexy!
Super design, awesome 2D Drawings, great music and cool Ideas / Effects !
The Girl was very great. And the Pictureinterferences. Great great...
Thank you!

wow .... again stravaganza is at the top .... neat design , strong code : who need more ?
classic style presented in a uniquely fresh way.
love the sound. love the colors. love the show.
all is full of stravaganza!

I hope you enjoy it as much as we enjoyed creating it :)

Bloody smart!!! A kiss for you!
Looks way too much like all other stravaganza demos. I.E.: 3D Scene, cut to 'designish' static scene with object spinning + letters, and loop.
Rules, nonetheless, but can't stop feeling a bad taste looking how much each Stravaganza production looks more like the last one, kinda like showing 'hey, we got these new effects but do the same demo'.
A good demo, all in all :-)

thumb up for the start of the demo, after it's to muche strange for me.
why don't use depth focal during all the demo ?

while looking at the loading-screen i already knew i would place this thumb:
its just wonderful, beautiful, amazing! whats the number of that chick?
boy, that´s what i call a demo! keep up the good work!
I don't understand the demo very much... if it was about showing design techniques, it would have been nicer to view it in more frames per second; I don't believe that there was a need for such a big cpu and gfx card. Hey ithaqua tell me if I'm wrong O:-)
About the music, I have prefered to listen to it in my house again and I still believe the same, I don't like it... it has not the classical pump-up style that used to have the sgz demos. It's a pity :-(

Wow, the first black-and-white Depth-Of-Field part was breathtaking!
Nice synch-effects in the standard 'demo-style' parts..
I love the little details, for example the semi-transparent-plastic-like-blur-thing overlay (good description, eh?) seen in the lower right screenshot.
Overall a very nice demo.

Even if I expected more from this one, this was fucking freat at the party place and totally ruled the euskal party 12! You guys rule!
really nice, but sucks a bit on my old machine... ;D *thumbs up*
Left a strong impression here.
The Picard comment at the very end was a nice idea even when ripped :)

Solid design, nice music and it looks fucking cool and wasn't even as slow as the first scene indicated (yeah I have a crappy computer).
I didn't fully enjoyed this demo because of disk swapping on that netcafe. I think those were good computers with 512MB ram, but I couldn't see the properties of the one I was sitting. How much memory does it want anyways?
There are some usual nice stravaganza syncing, however I feel like I liked the older demos more. Though, I have to watch it again in a good PC because the disk swapping destroyed the feeling possibly. Then, I will come and give it a rules ;)

Paralax: actually "resistance is futile" is printed on Stravaganza t-shirts.... darn.. I almost got one of those at BP...
as for the demo.. well =) WHOAAA...
style, colours, atmosphere, design... and a little cunningham/bjork inspiration there.. it left the other demos looking for sympathy...
We love you guys =) We want the final =)

my computer sucks, but this demo rules. That dof stuff kicks!
Fantastic! Although some parts looked very much like "This Way" this demo still kicked some serious ass. Never a dull moment. I loved it from start to finish. A definite keeper.
Good improved final party version lol. artifacts of the animation and deformation of the girl, and the lack of shadows when is "praising" destroys a little the design. First part and partyally blurred green tube are great though
Very nice demo, tho I expected more :( and i think i expected more because i was wishing to see that demo since euskal party 11... I miss that pump-up sensation like sole said, great graphic and music work anyway. Keep up the donsi powah!!! :D que vienen los roboorrlllsss
Very good demo. Some nicely updated oldskool visual ideas, and exceptional attention to sync. Unfortunately I feel like it was only half finished and I wanted more. Would have liked to see more done with the physics. Definitely thumbs up though.
That was simply amazing. It looked like it had to be prerendered, but it wasn't... Wow.
I only wish it were longer, but you can't have everything (like antialias, for me)

nice scenes! great demo!
but we want final version!!
too much mem swapping going on

THE GUYS DESERVE KÉT SÖR FOR THIS!!! :D
seriously, this kicks ass. i agree with jcl in the "repetition", but who cares, it's the way i like SGZ demos :) (or well, almost - i want cafre2 >:( )
haven't checked the fixed version yet - hope it makes those ugly lag/swap spikes g away :)

Wow! Best demo for a while. Great tune, nice design, great scenes and good syncs. Just a candy for your eyes and ears..
Just the loading screen alone already promised a great demo! at times it wasn't so great as the loading screen though :)
great 2d too
Rock solid and it even has godrays, which makes it automatically one of my all time favorites!
![[cryo]](http://content.pouet.net/avatars/7rs.gif)
Jikes, what a demo! Überleet style in each and every way.
what the others above said.. ;)
black and white DOF balls scene ! The music is over the top though, but fittted the pace
Whoooo this one kicked ass!
Probable best demo nominee.
If only it was a bit longer... :)

oh yes! Just stunning....
I want only to shout: STRAVAGANZA STRAVAGANZA STRAVAGANZA. On my holy ass, this is fucking most entertaining demo ever. One of the best designed scene prod... And one among my favourite demos... WOOOHOOOOOO. YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAA...
To be honest, I was expecting a fucking great demo this time, one of those perfect demo, as they was always saying that there were finishing it, that this time the demo was going in a serious way.. the result is a really nice demo, but not good enough to be remembered as a classic.
So in the partyplace I was expecting to be really shocked with thar prod.. the first scene was brilliant, nice quality, nice ambient, but was just the next scene when i thought.. are they kidding about the last way of demos just rotating random objects? Then i see the next scene and was more or less the same.
Imho the big problem about that prod, and excuse me wonder, is the quality of the sound (it limitations), i'm sure that with one of the gloom mp3 that prod could improve a lot. The render is nice, the code is great, the music is nice as well, but as demo could me much better.
Btw, the new scenes and changes in the final version are great!
Thumbs up because the demo is great, but not great as "this way" as demo.
C'mon dudes! Looking forward for the perfect sgz prod soon!

I was afraid to try running it on my PC yesterday, but i am sattisfied, only few scenes run slow on my GF4MX (Surprised to see such focal blur without needing pixel shaders), all the others are smooth and from the beginning of the exploding trees I start to like the demo much better.
by the way: we want avi! ... can i vote once more? oh please ps let me vote once more...
überlite :)
just fix the glitches on the animation of that sexrobot and the polygon intersecting and we have the demo of the year :)

mind blowing. i cant remember last time i saw a demo which impressed me this much.
This is very, very good. Impressive !
The animation.. the hair..
The demo is very clean, the layers remind me of 'chrome'.
Keep it up guys !

Brilliant! Very nice effekkts, finally someone pushing the limits a bit. Keep it up!
Whoa! I'm impressed.
And no, this doesnt push anything.
trace: you're insane ;). it cannot be done better.
nice!
!!!!!! Thumbs up!!!! VERY good work from Stravaganza!
although not running smooth on my Athlon XP 2400 with FX5900, I'm really impressed ... very good shader fx !!!
wonderful
sick dude! \o/ Can I please thumb-up this one twice? :D
hey! :]
Very smooth, good synch, a ciberwoman walking, DOF!! and many cool tricks.
Yeah, rulez.

very good work guys!

Nice use of blur, good design, smooth, good framerate on my computer. I didn't like the music though, and the animation of that android chick could've been better.
insane demo!! wild! its good, its stylish!
im in the army for the next year so i cant watch it, but i LOVE the design of the pics in the screenshot
It's actually VERY seldom that someone can put elements like these in a demo and make me enjoy it. mad skills :)
oh, except for that horrible yellow and black "door design" .. because it's too overused :)

agh. i'd love to watch this, but it crashes after about 20% of the loading done (my gf4ti4600ultra probably does not support opengl 1.5 when i think about it).. gah! that does it - i'm ordering myself a new graphicscard - i feel a transition coming on these days and i'm tired of not being able to watch cool demos.
thumb will probably come follow later on. :)

I like this demo style.
nice prods.

i will keep this for long time and watch it over and over again. i really love it!
ah, forgot to comment on this demo. i like the first scene with the DOF and stuff.. lovely done. In overall it had some glitches here and there but enjoyable content. And btw, the theme (well, the robot girlie actually) reminded me a bit of the video of Björk's 'All Is Full Of Love' ;)
gloom: silky smooth on my Ti4600
This demo rules!!!! It runs even in my lame GeForce 4 MX.
Great design and colors and the robochick reminds me a mix of the Ns-5 robot and Diva Plavalaguna from fifth element.
It made me go back in time to see more stravaganza demos.
Great work guys...keep up

gloom: works terrible fine on my geforce4 4400ti
i guess it might be my win2k then.. oh well, it was about time for a reinstall anyway.. :) btw; trace - what was that gloom-comment above? didn't quite get that one..
i love stravaganza! :)
\o/ me loves

gloom: just comparing your blut mp3 with wonder's blut .it..
I just think that this prod can be much better with one of your tunes or wonder using reason/cubase or something like that..
the music is too much plain for me..

Very nice, but not breathtaking as some of the comments seem to suggest.
Just one minor point - it displays error of 'pixel format not hardware accelerated' if trying to run in 16 bit colour. Just thought I'd mention it as my panel has native res of 1600 * 1200 which I can only run in 16 bit colour. Once I dropped to 1024 * 768 @ 32bit then it runs fine.

OMFG where's the Stravaganza fanclub I wanna join xD
The starting scenes had blown my head off.
And the walking animations... so unsmooth and realistic. And cool typography. And also great music. Hell yeah.

Perfect... best demo 2004 so far.
Really really nice - and 4xAA makes it look nearly perfect!
It seems very nice, some of the scenes actually worked halfways. But it bugged continously and suddenly crashed on my P4 2.8ghz radeon 9000 mobility. Bugfix coming?
"...nothing they experience that day will be quite as real, as insightful, as good."
Uhm... this sucks!!
Walking woman, raylights, blur (dof, sorry)... we already seen this in 1997.
This demo has no mood.

good work... but some parts too slow
Nice production, solid modelling and good design skills on show here. It's also very nice to see that the stravangaza logo is based on the logo of Digital Vision's Infinity Series where most of the 'design' scenes obviously come from.
i like the beginnnig. rulez.
thumbs up dudes, thumbs up....
yes...YES...YEEESSSSSSSS...
!
YEAH!
Forget all I've said, ithaqua; it's amazing!! i've just saw the final version, and i'm in awe, i'm literally jumping on the floor!!
Thanks thanks thanks. You've made it, folks. Congrats to all of you three mosqueteers! :D
(trace, take a look to the final version; i agreed with you before seeing it again at home)

well, this prod is very well done. good style and nice colours.the code rocks (sgz editor)
i hope to see this prod in the bigscreen at bcn party because i didn´t go to euskal :(
maybe the animation is quite boring.the ciborg can make more movements imho

interface, i'm afraid i already did before my comment. Perhaps we were (or at least i was) expecting a great prod from those guys to be really proud of them or so.. I don't know, but yes, the prod have a lot of work, a lot of quality, but could be a classic but because something won't be a classic for me. Not as "this way" is for me.
like
time will judge, trace...
becouse all that pixelshaders-super-looking-old-effects-demos will burn in the fire of even-brand-new technologies and only real demos with the feeling will be left. what are new versions of directx if in five years evryone will notice them quite ugly? The real spirit is what differs good demos from those worse. And that certainly has the feeling.
Because of the drivel flow what some people do about this stuff today only a piggie comes out...
Why? Just saw the demo and after it my first reaction is pressing delete on the directory without any hesitation. Yeah, that android look good and some nice movement too but nothing more. The music is under any criticizm ... Other things isn't push any limits (as some people dreamt about) just represent a littble better quality than the averange.

where to download the .avi ?
Thank you for this one! Really good.
this is my cup of tea. good show!
Only the music destroys an overall excellent impression.
music.
Very nice looking and I liked the music. Some parts lagged like hell for a while but I think I'll thumb it up anyway. Btw. Where's Will Smith? :)
i really prefer THAT music rather than boomboomboom techno crapp :/
Any person telling this prod is not good, is just jealous... Design, SUPERB (congratulations Ithaqua!), graphics/3d, so good (great techno!), animation... better than ok, music is good enough even if it is not the typical prod song (this is why I think some people critic it). And about the two gfxs... shock and interface, you perfectly know I really love you and all your works :). One of the firsts spanish newschool prods that really impressed me. I hope you to continue with this level! Lots of thumbsups! Yeah!
Only word ! : OUch!!
nice speed, nice gfx, only good things!!
hop, yes i forget this : it was too short :-(

I finally watched it on another computer, since it crashes on my radeon 9000 mobility.... and I must admit that this demo FUCKING RULES!
great job guys...
seriously... fantastic...
great job guys...
seriously... fantastic...
the first scenes looked very promising but when I found out that there is no precache/"cache warming" routines written I got very dissapointed. So on my R9700 PRO every scene enters with a big slowdown. And I don't like 2fps on my card. There's a lot of visual bugs as well so a piggy from me. But It could rule If you would stay with the mood from beginning.
GREAT
got to watch it after a tip from ithaqua - upgrade to the 56.64 driver (yes, nvidia) and you're home free. :)
the demo was absolutely gorgeous :) great effects, scenes, graphics and flow.. just too bad the music isn't as good as it could be.

It was very nice, even if my computer isn't fast enough for it...
really good demo. fast and smooth throughout on my less than cutting edge home pc, nice fx and graphics and very well designed. the best "traditional demo style" demo i saw in ages. only bad things are the lighting on the girl, and the music - tune was ok, but it sounded rather low sound quality.
Your resistance is our future.
Another high quality demo from the best spanish group now :D Go this way! ;)
Simply great.
Great prod, and its oundtrack has been put into the brainwash rotation queue ;)
With a better tune this could've been one of the demo-of-the-year-things.
For those who asked for a video version:
http://www.stravaganza.org/prods/sgz_arise.avi (512x384@60fps XVID+MP3, 119mb)
About some comments:
-It doesn't require a high-end cpu nor a pixelshader capable card. I developed it on a 1.5ghz cpu + geforce4MX 440 and it probably will run ok on a slower config (plain geforce1 or equivalent, and probably also slower cpu). Some parts require a lot of fillrate though.
The main problem is the RAM, it needs lots of it and I should've checked that. So on < 512mb configs there's a lot of memswapping going on, which is even worse than having a slow cpu or gfxcard.
-It won't run at 16bpp because It needs 8bits destination alpha which is only available at 32bpp. The destination alpha is used on the DOF effect.
-If it crashes try upgrading your drivers and/or emailing me the log.txt you get when you run the demo with the -log commandline option. That worked for some people :)
We want to change some things so maybe there'll be a final version.

this prod is very polished, finished, clean and cold, perhaps too much cold and it miss one important thing : emotions. it is very good and interesting technically but i had absolutly no emotions when seeing it. thumb up for the high level of the visuals.

design
This one is a total killer. Awesome. I´m watching it again and again and it just doesn´t stop to amaze me. Style, timing, visuals - everything just fits together!
And it looks great on R9500pro with 6xFSAA ;-)

really a shame about the music.. The rest was mostly great except a few repetitions here and there.
Vivid imagery.
perfect design, greatsound and fantastic Textures ;)
¡ fantástico !
ooooooooh!
Some parts are quite slow on my laptop but overall very enjoyable demo.
i love it, very high quality... good job
This is.... DESIGN !
cool!
woooo, great!!! perfect design and music
a shocking answer to someones that use their artz (?) for commercial about something could be done without unnecessary p. & v. shitters...
Cool :-)
Code, graphics, design, music. Respect!
waiting for final, because there are some unpolished scenes and motions

At last I managed to see it. It reminded me of "This way", or perhaps it's the Stravaganza style (tm). With no doubt a great demo :)
Super impressive! Incredible effects, great music, great 2D, great concepts, great everything! How could I not give the thumb up?
solid
Was that a Diva?
the music, the sync, the design, eveything
well done.

The character-animation is a bit noisy, I hope it'll be cleaned in a final version... I didn't like the music that much, but it was ok.
Overall, it still definitely rulez.

wow, I totally missed that when it was first released - kudos to fiver2 for pointing it out to me ;)

Perhaps only missing thing is heavier realtime-generated meshes? Anyways it looks real nice, -1 accel but +2 looks so rulez vote :)
Good Demo, very good.

Very cute visuals.
Hm, I totally missed that great one.
This demo is a demonstration for demos.
Fantastic demo: perfect balance between effects/design/colors/pace/... The girl scene could have been a bit shorter though.

maybe SGZ watched a lot of mangas, but it is one of the BEST demos ever. only negative point: it is too short. i can't see enough of this animated girl =)
I got to see this back when I was running an older version of the NVidia drivers. Now with 77.72, I get the same No OpenGL 1.2 compatible driver found error. Much deserved thumb up
I love it
impressive.

Wow! Design and effects and music and pictures and....
For all those with the "No opengl 1.2 compatible driver installed" error, a fixed version is available using the same download link. I replaced the old one, which had a bug in the opengl extensions library I use and refused to run with opengl 2.0+ drivers.
Thanks to Gargaj for checking the sources and pointing me out where the error was.

yay \o/ Now I can finally watch this on a decent computer :) Will you fix your other prods as well? I'd love to see Decadentia again as well..
Preacher: all other prods have also been fixed. I didn't put any message there because nobody complained :)

Hmmm .. when I click on Stravaganza link I get “Unable to determine IP address from host name for www.stravaganza.org ”. The version that is available in mirror sites has OpenGL 1.2 bug so I can’t watch it at the moment. Waiting until Stravaganza home site is working ... Anyway… very nice production as I remember the times when I had old NVidia drivers. One of the best. Good code, design, music. but I don’t like drawn pictures.
SKR: Sorry we're currently pointing our domain to the wrong ip. Meanwhile try here.
Thanks for the update! Nice to watch this again!
Excellent, amazing, ...
great design, great music, great compo
best demo !!!!!!!
just re-watched it on dtv - awesome zick too!
Great One, only music not really my listening taste
had this on repeat for long time. it's very good. :)
Just saw this on demoscene.tv. KILLER!
This is certainly a group witch i will draw inspiration from
My god - this is awesome!
in stravaganza we trust!
awesome.
Resistance is VERY VERY futile!!
Some nice 3d scenes, at least the first one. Not even slightly original though..
nice
Resistance is futile!
Maybe not unique in some respects, but still it does what it should, and it does it good. This is a winner demo.
KHOOL! DOF&Other stuff, music is cheap, some parts are too simple but overall is GREAT!
Some parts of it I recognize as a very good exhibition of games industry related skills. I don't, however, recognize these parts as a demo - as in demo proper. But there are enough 2d- and effect oriented scenes to keep me happy, so...
Really god one. The music is soso, but the visuals are really great.
insane
OMG o.O
Meh. Would like to bump up the resolution on this one. Great work.
yep!
Great demo! I think it offers several of the most beautiful scenes worth seeing even as screen shots – for instance the under water bucket balls or the mechanical parts in the fuzzy green. And I love the scenes that remember a little bit in Chris Cunningham’s work. Thumb up!
I love this. Especialy the first part with the DOF effect. One of the best DOF I effects in a demo. Even if it is 3 years old ;)
The first part is very well done, and is my favorite part of the demo.
Bloody hell, this one blew me away - just awesome.
!!
Magnificient Demo!
´Resistance is futile´

it's close to a piggy but i'll still give it tu just for being epic.
This blew me away when I first saw it - energetic and beautifully designed. Not a single second wasted, everything moves at a fast clip. Good soundtrack by Wonder as well...
Music + visuals rocks.
I wholeheartedly love this production!
Very powerful visuals.
just watched it again

full of energy and entertainment

Still one of my favourites. I love the how ...epic? or something everything from the music to the sync to the visuals is.

Ыыыыы
Definately very enjoyable, yes!
Absolutely brilliant design and direction. Wow!

Awesome
one of my all time favourites
Strange, was pretty sure I already voted for that one :)

what keito said
Strange, but really stylish.
Nice focal blur, nice modelling, nice sync! Thumb up!
great pacing, models, dof. Some really pleasing design in parts like the strip of blur across the classic demoscene arbitrary rotating shapes, the cut text, and the way the group name is presented at the end. Not sure about the bondage robot mixing in and out towards the end though. That art was great but reshowing it was unnecessary.
A bit repetitive, but what a neat demo!
Neat, indeed.
Interesting visuals and great synced musix/soundfx!
Made a Highres Youtube rip for it:
Arise by Stravaganza (1080p)

Simply the best group ever. I hope to see a new prod one day
Quality stuff!
nice demo, but not so nice music
Was SURE i thumbed this!
great demo but not so great music.
Music has some problems (like the drums) imo, but doesn't overall detract from the enjoyment. Top notch stuff otherwise, great design, direction and visuals.
resistance is futile!
Woah oO
good classic!
Yep, very good demo and a good mix between 3d scenes and 2d art.
A tune where you're not sure if it actually has lyrics and yells at you for being lame, design you're not sure they had timetravel as it still looks slick nine years after, and all that has been said. This thing, would get the cake.
indeed, it's still looking as fresh as on the first day, after nine years. <3
Music is bad, really bad. The rest is close to awesome.
Really cool demo, nicely designed as usual. And I don't think the music is that bad.
Forgotton thumb.
nice. not breath taking but really nice.
Aged well.
Resistance is futile!
this is still so great to watch.
i admit im obsessed with this kind of aesthetic
banger, but i dislike the music honestly
still holds up pretty well all these years later
