Yet another smashing release from fairlight!
The music itself deserves a big fat thumb! The quality on that synth is unbeliveable!

I really enjoyed it alot! And Smash/Flt is a nice fellow. I think this will win with conspiracy as 2nd place.
Camera is quite boring, other things are really great. Thanks, Fairlight!
Only result I get is fucked up desktop!!! Grrr... Do no work here (128 and 256.exe) on ATI Radeon X1600Pro 256MB
this has something..
NEVER WIRE ANIMATION TO FFT :D
Absolutely awesome - not by tech but by feeling.
Absolutely awesome - not by tech but by feeling.
Superb intro with great music.
very good looking and sounding intro, but not something that i would watch twice. easily thumbs up anyway :)
Ran like a slideshow (as warned in the nfo), although it still looked fantastic. I gotta upgrade!
runs very smooth...
funneh!
funneh!
The textures look quite stark and Im not a fan of cell shading but apart from the graphics this is fockin ace! Nice idea, great music and direction, and a nice feat in 64k!
Very nice music :)
Well done!!!! Love the music Reed!
weak framerate here, but still a friggin nice 64k
funny presentation and great music :)
no work here.
so different so nice. the music yeahh. sounds so easy. this demo shows how important music can be in a demo. the figures were some kind of static. but hey it's 64k. so thumbs up.
Great Tune!! Rocked the place!! Overall great 64k!
technically way ahead of others. Also fun and stylish.
terminates right after the progress bar - any help?
(radeon 9600xt 256mb, catalyst 6.3)

doesn't work...

(geforce6600gt 512mb win2k...)
great idea!
crash after load bar on all three versions: all in wonder 9600xt 128mb
crashes at once on my 9600 too
saw it live on dtv tho, and it rocked :)

The tune is cool, not the standard softsynth music. The idea of the intro is nice and well executed.

Thumb.
Nice stuff
The animation is realy animated :)
the music. THE MUSIC! and the rest kicked ass as well :) great work guys
The music is amazing, the rest is nice, but not amazing, which makes it a good prod overall.
The only thing that I'd like to know is whether the lead guitar is sampled or 100% synthesized. :)

neat :)
fantastic! tho i still prefer che guevara :)
Works fine here (GF6800). Even though I don't like the style too much it definitely deserves a thumbs up!
am i the only one who just thought it as "nice" ?
nice :)
That definitely blew me away on the stream. Electrical guitar is a bitch to do synthesized, let alone in 64k...
That synth rocks!
Top quality. Loved the music. Great plant growth effect. But somehow the characters didn't appeal to me.
not my cup of tea. don't like the colors, animation... music is ok.
heh this demo was made to win the votes of breakpoint attendants... and deserves it! :D
rulez
This one deserved to win 100%
The music is really awesome and the gfx is great (altho I don't really like the styele).
I have to wonder tho... if you rewrote every tool from scratch since che guevara and have all that new stuff in there... How come it looks exactly the same?

impressive music to say the least, loved the plant growing out of the bong hehehe

- 100% CPU
- Slow on Pentium 3,6 GHZ (wtf?)
- Loading Scene is boring
+ Music rocks! Thats the only good one for me...

Fun and impressive! This beats Che by a mile imo.
boyc: because sadly i did too much of the gfx in this, and thats my style :) unfortunately we barely made good use of the tools for this.
i'll have to find out why some people are getting crashes after the loading bar, because a lot of those configs are ones we tested it on and it worked fine (and it should do). perhaps a driver issue?

Bongtastic! Almost beats Re-Recycle ;)
nice intro - mainly due to the incredible music. funky shit for a 64k. nevertheless i have to admit that i don't like the character animation. it looks a bit dull.
Finally, a decent meat demo. And family meat too!
Seriously good stuff, even if it runs in slideshow mode on my shitty quadro card. Graphics + animation are sweet, style is too, and the music... wow. Big improvement over che, get going on the asm intro I want to see what your new tools can do smash :)
Also, I declare reed to be the most hardcore musician in the scene as he plays drums with his bare hands.

I want manbabies from Reed. This is awesome music.
Only real downside is the character animation, which seems to borrow from the jerk-a-thon experience in Che Guevara. Good job anyway ;)

best flt 64k so far
Awesome softsynth! nice work lads!
both synth and soundtrack are just insanely good, best ever. visually it's rather Che 2.0 tho much slower. on the bigscreen coz of the free antialiasing it looked better than at home too. Nevertheless, what ps said and a thumb up :)
i request a video version for us running ati cards to make sure smash didnt make up that it was bugless on nvidia :p
less buggy at least ;) and i just made one, it'll be up as soon as scene.org isnt overloaded (like in a few days).
character animation looks like a last-minute hack... everything else is just perfect
A bit too slow, but the experience was still worth of a thumb
Its one of the best 64ks ever, music/synth is bestest, design/code also, cant say more just that it REALLY ROXOR!
hehe yeah this one will be hard to beat for everyone in the future.. :) this one is the best!
bestest, rulez, roxxor, awesome ... and all the stuff
It was good at the party but dies after the loading bar on my XP64 machine with a 7800GT
Fairlight does it again, their intros are getting better and better, I wonder where this will end (please don't let it end :-)
Is it only me having the feeling that the guitar may have been sampled? There isn't too much geometry there, so it seems to be an acceptable solution.
AWESOME one.
I didn't really like the gfx that much, but the music was so fucking impressive that it deserved to win
Apart from the stupid jerky animations, this was excellent :)
Doesn't kick as much at home, as it did at the party though.

So Slowly in the bells movements. Rules anyway. Great synth
Yeah! Smth ftresh!
Top of the line release on every aspect. You fuckers are setting the new goals to reach.
Absolutely fantastic.
And what zoom said
And what zoom said
again, a different and very high quality 64k by fairlight.
Great stuff.
Great stuff.
Really kicking intro, ruled on the bigscreen.
This totally rocked on the bigscreen!
the rendering and graphics are great. I especially liked the plants. Also the flow of the intro is smooth everything fits into the concept. I'd like some tech-specs on what the intro features. I recognize cartoon rendering, soft-shadows? and depth of field. How does the cracks in the ground work?
I don't personally like this music style, but it seems to be well done anyway.

there is a video in scene.org incoming now waiting to be moved..
about the tech aspects:
the guitar part is not a sample, if we had room for such large samples then i'd really be impressed with myself. :) i wish i could take credit, but it came out of reed messing about with the synth and getting a sound that worked really well.
rendering-wise we have:
- normalmapping
- precalced ambient occlusion on everything
- realtime soft shadows (variance shadowmaps, which is why it's sucky on ati cards with no floating point texture filtering), but you probably cant tell it's realtimel cos we never moved the light
- dof
- outlines and cellshading in traditional style, but it's not bugged this time (unlike che)
- skinning and a multichain ik solver with a lot of other procedural anim stuff we can apply to it, all of which we hardly used actually, due to lack of animator's time to use it :)
- after trying a load of ways to do the cracks, i ended up with some simple form of realtime csg solution that works well and is fast.
- a modeller that isnt based on primitives at all, apart from a ground plane :) but again, i guess you cant tell because we didnt make good use of it.
- we had a few k left with about a week to go, and so we filled it with rather more k of 2d graphics, and had to optimise all over again.
we went more for a nice design and fun concept rather than really showing what we had technically and doing a 10 part beast. im quite crap at showing off fx anyway. :) hope it was enjoyable, cos i really enjoyed making it, a lot more than the previous 64ks we did. =)

smash: That's the thing I wanted to hear. The guitar alone is worth a thumb up. As for other effects, they are almost invisible, especially soft shadows and everything looks a bit like plain textures and envmapping. Good luck with your future productions. :)
refreshes!
no way to not thumb up this family meeting :) ! excellent work and fun experience! a better character design would have made this one übergreat, though. and that's what i actually wanted to talk to you about at BP, smash ("i'll find you later") ...
I applaud the technical side, but I don't like the rest of it. Not my style I guess.
okay, i have to improve my config now ? :)
happy is that, there is about some (2-5) frame / second on fx5700 + p4 2.4D + 1gb ... not much but wooooorks :) ble-lalala! :P
...and congratulation to surprising me once again ! :)

This thumb is for the music. The rest wasn't my style.
ho and smash forgot to say
- lot of gfxs kenet didn't finish in time
:)
in fact the intro is just a beta, you'll see what it's all about on the next one ;)

amazing prod
massive music as it would be expected by reed
technically impressive
winning the compo was a piece of cake :)

Ok, added the video, thanks for the upload :-)
You can do effects in PC Intros, now you can tell a "story". I lost an argument against PC Intros today!
what should i say. rocks hard. and i was pretty sure it would win the instant i first saw it :)
Music is not my style, but I like that one anyway!
I think it's a piggie. Technical exellency but I don't care. Tune is the only thing that rocks in the intro and the rest is not my cup of tea.
<3 you did it again!
I did liked the graphics quality that fits in 64k. Preety impressive from this side. And the sound was groovy! Though, not a demo I would watch frequently..
A few bugs, but overall great beat!!
Cool intro! I like the cartoon rendering and the music!
nice one :)
your softsynth keeps amazing me more and more ... now i really want to try that thing myself! :)
nice slideshow... ~ 1FPS doesn't do for me... will have to get the video I guess (this is a P4-2.8Ghz with a GF FX5600 256Mb and 2GB RAM... should not be THAT slow I think?)
jco: as it says in the info file, dont run it on a fx5xxx series card. their performance particularly on ps2.0 and floating point rendertarget stuff is incredibly poor. (ive got one at work, so im well aware of it's (lack of) capabilities :) )
awesome
very impressive :o
thumbs up :D
thumbs up :D
...that monkey...
:-)
Congratulation! fabulous gear.
so so so so great.. was fun to see everyone freak out at BP when this intro started rockin :) Amazing stuff! Respect!
Great stuff! The movement is a little awkward - but the timing is working. Blew me away.
Thank you, you guys made my day! :)
Superbe !
You rock !
You rock !
smash: sorry, hadn't read the nfo :)
anyway, seen the video, and I like the music, but that's about it.

Ok, this is great tech for sure - amazing sound and great graphics for a 64k. It didn't really get me the way it apparently struck everyone else though. Up for music, down for crapd animation. Oink.
Impressive audio.
I don't like very much the characters (familly), and their animation, but i think its quite good for a 64kb.
Impressive audio, again :)
I like the scene when stones start crashing and the flowers are growing, original.
Impressive audio with guitar generated sample! again again :P woah!!
dof rules too!

After watch.
superb code technique!!
In the guiter sound, 64kb is a quality that cannot be thought.
and rendering technique are perfect.
(ambient occlusion was great.)
I don't like style.
however, totaly rox.
Congratulations!!!

Will be there a final version that can work on AtiX1600 Series ?
good job... hi to reed & smash... thanx
Fairlight? Fairlight!
traumazero: certainly the 128 version should work fine on any ps2.0 card really (ati 9600 and up), just might be slow with lower end cards. we even tested on that hw and it works. if it doesnt it's because of driver issues, most probably.
Woah!!! Absolutly roxXx!!! Great atmosphere and perfect music as usual (congrats Reed)... this synth is really incredible... must be a pleasure to play with it :)__
Not bad. Not smooth with 256.exe for my NVIDIA 6800 card.
nice music :)
this and shit faced clowned made the party
Sorry. Didn't like it at all. I'm sure you put a lot of work in it, thought.
rulez!
but the character animations are pretty lame. imho the most simple inverse kinematics approach would be already much better...

very nice music, the best part of the intro for sure!
And let;s see how the IK looks like when you make better use of it. This is going to start to be fun.
Again, not my rendering style, but a winner intro, no doubt!
(side note: still doesnt work on my ATIs, both in the x1800@Win64 and 9800@Win32, latest drivers of course).

Deserved the win
Entertainment ... that's the name of the game ... and with funkmaster Reed, you can't miss :-)

LOL, Pirx!
very weird but cool. the monkeys are a bit clumsy, but the scene with the speakers and then the green sprout stuff is just lovely! extremely heavy music for a 64k too.
the only thing that really turned me off were the logos. i mean, wtf, this looks like some "graffiti" truetype font from a cheap shareware cd! either that or it's done by a bloody toy. there are enough people who are into graff in the scene, why not ask someone to do decent tags instead of delivering such a visual crime.

i second dipswitch for the logo at the beginning, it's unreadable.
btw the hole intro kick ass, graphics are wonderful and music rox. overall it's one of the best 64k's i've ever seen.
congratz

smash - all exes (512,256,128) doing the same error. After full precalc bar it switches to desktop (no error mesage) and decrease resolution to 800*600.
I have ATI X1600 Pro (256MB) and it has pixel shader 3.0 specifications.
Nevermind, I will download the video :)

Trauma Zero => make sure you have latest drivers for your videocard too.
I love the music.
could someone who's feeling helpful and has a radeon x series card, and who gets a crash after the progress bar on this, please mail me and we'll try and get to the bottom of it :) (address is smaash at yahoo)
=)
![[ProToS]](http://content.pouet.net/avatars/bzzz.gif)
A fun to watch intro with great visuals using moderne techniques. A few glitches in the animation of the characters but I can't really complain as it's a 64k :)
Unsuprisingly the music by Reed is excellent...

Oh, and that actually reminds me of GrafikundSound Demo, only 20 years later...
Great visuals and the music track. Love the monkeys (or whatever that is)!
you are crazy
there's a bugfix available here:
http://www.scene.org/file_dl.php?url=ftp://ftp.scene.org/pub/parties/2006/breakpoint06/in64/flt_meetthefamily_bugfixed.zip&id=
that should fix the problems some people had with it crashing after the loading bar (except for some older win2k configs).

Not my cup of tea and a tad boring somehow but still worth a solid thumb up since it's 64k. Nice work, especially the music.
Reminds me of http://www.pouet.net/prod.php?which=12638 , coincidence? :)

Keops: you're late, check my comment above ;)
Exocet: yeah I noticed it right before pressing enter ;)
Crash & Burn on 6600GT.
I dont know. This is surely a technical marvel. But the new fairlight style somehow makes me cringe...
wicked!
Since I obviously didn't say so before, thanks for winning :)
Wow. The synth is so great. This intro rules! Its slow, but not a slideshow on my 1.73Ghz Pentium-M & Mobility Radeon X700.
Amazing softsynth. Textures and character animation could be done better, but then again it's an intro...
Music and softsynth are nice. Technically excellent in many ways but this just sucks like all the other fairlight PC productions. Not my cup of tea.
fuckin' ugly :(
worst flt intro
worst flt intro
exits prematurely NV GeForce FX Go5700
sure deserves a thumb up
for the music.. the rest is more a party-entertainment thing.
Funky monkeys!
totally rules
Groove is in the heart.
sorry, but it didnt really speak to me. but looks good. piss poor animations though.
gimme Dope,Joanna....Dope,Joanna.!! :))
WFT????
\o/
still good stuff. Damn slow at my x1400 mobile radeon. like the cracks, that stuff looks really good.
Yay!
It would have been awesome if the band animation was a little more diverse and better in sync with the music. The fact that it's not ruined it for me.
Maybe not too much in graphics, but guitar sound is good!
Nice Mvid ;)
Oh, did I never comment on this?
Music rocks! Unbelievable in 64k.
Character animation - what they said :-/
Loves the style, though.
Am I the only one experiencing errors on the ribbon-plant-thingies? On some single frames their positions are off, giving some ugly flashes in the animation.

The music is great, but the rest is not my cup of a tea. Not really. Though its all in only 64k i still cannot raise the thumb.
love the sound of the guitar
Great production
superb 64k with nice pre-baked ao. Really has a unique look and feel. Music is great.

oh no.

simpsons already did it!
There seems to be a lot of technical features here, and the sound quality is awesome. But I could never get to like that one.
Perfect idea
never actually seen this before, dislike it a lot, crummy animations and models, music might be impressive, but not very pleasant imo.
As dwarf said, quite crummy animations. I like the music tho'.
For the guitar
Final plz
can´t say I like it, but for 64k its quite memorable
nice tune + visuals. content itself is quite boring. but 64k makes me thumbs it up.
what T$ said
What most of the others said.
gorillaz was weird
:)
lots of cool tech but conceptually uninspired, and a lot of design choices here—like the jumpy animation and white noise applied to camera—are some of the most horrible things i've ever had to endure in a demo
also one of the worst tracks from reed ever, among the very few i kinda actively don't wanna hear
sorry, this was only really impressive in that brief moment in 2006 and an antithesis of enjoyability since then
