Bah, a cool demo, a little bit slow. Nice cartoon rendering. Missing some action, don't you think ?
added on the 2000-09-10 06:40:42 by Sanx Sanx
Yeah probably too slow, but EVERYTHING made at party place, so I want to congratulate Fra for the load of work he made in such few time. We couldn't have done this without him. And thanx to Danube who helped us a lot with MAX too, and with moral support :)
Soon the final version... don't expect more movement since it's still the same demo... Just some enhancements and bug fixes.

Cartoon rendering is nice, but this deno is too boring. Next Mandarine demo will probably be best (with more effect)

eeeergl ... why does this simple demo generates so many (stupid) comments ? mandarine is definitely not a serious group, just a bunch of nice guys with a lot of friends.

It's just that they want more glops than the serious guy ! 'cause the day you will have 1.000.000 globs, pouet offer you a bus trip to the nearest town from your home. Don't expect them to do thing without any reason.

comme quoi le cartoon rendering vous rend tous un peu cons ou fous (ahaha le con-fou ... laissez tomber) enfin bon cette demo est plutot sympathique, interessante surtout pour le rendu et la modellisation tres 'mandarinienne', tout plein de couleurs, des robots pataux et mignons, bref une demo cool ki se prends pas la tete ...
added on the 2000-12-13 11:07:50 by flure flure
Oh god! Is this a demo with the 3d cartoon logic as I see in the screenshots? I love these demos!

I will download this baby too and watch it. (Why I always write comments for demos I haven't seen yet? :)

I think it's quite a good demo, as it is - afaik - the first one using cartoon rendering... Innovate!

I had seen that this demo has the 3d cartoon logic (And I love such demos!) and yesterday we have seen it together with my friends in an Icafe.

It's small! Small demos sucks! It's static! The robot doesn't move!!! From the screenshot I thought that it would be very great! But it suxx..

Still,. the cartoon logic 3d is beautifull..
But just few cartoonish static scenes + very small, in 3.5MB. Ough.. :P

No worth I think.. Good 3d cartoon logic demos are Paper & Three Little Goats.
added on the 2001-03-08 11:36:37 by Optimus Optimus
Godamn! Why are you writting French here???
I had enough nightmares from the French CPC scene, I don't want more! ;)

P.S. I have just read that it is the first production from a group called Mandarine and that it was hacked together in the party place. That's how it is explained. The engine is good for future use though! Bring me more 3d cartoonish demos!!! (Btw,. a 3d cartoonish engine wouldn't be a very good idea for beeing used in an adventure game? What do you think???)

really really nice models, qute robots and nice music allthoug it was an mp3.
added on the 2001-03-24 18:42:28 by f.jay f.jay
well, imo, this demo gives a bit sad mood, all the robots seem to be unhappy, just like if they had a power-off, this gives a really special mood to the demo (at least to the way i interpret it) ... ok i may be totally wrong, but i like it this way :)
added on the 2001-03-29 16:38:19 by flure flure
according to the fact that it was half partycoding, it's not 2 bad. but still it's quite pointless, isn't it?
added on the 2001-04-08 04:28:34 by crs crs
well, the music is not an .mp3 but an .xm but our musicians didn't wan't to spread the .xm
why ? ask them ^^

We could have made the music a XM, but it would have been much bigger as I remember (big samples and so on) :)

This is NOT the first cartoon shading demo.

Arguably the first boring demo with cartoon shading, but no.

Nice scenes, too bad nothing's happening.

Sure there's no action, but for some reason that style, the models and that music make it stil enjoyable - if only that robot would move a bit :)

Nice but also a bit underwhelming.
Rest in Peace, Tu0.
Thanks for watching the demo, guys :)

a bit boring while watching without a proper brief but then when I read that it was all done at the party I reconsider. huge amount of work for a short period of time it seems. lacks of animation and true Caillou character (I was triggered by the name as I remember the cartoon, I was showing it to my kid quite recently). Sad the guy behind it passed away already. Not sure what's the story behind the author but seemed to be very talented. Less and less of us, keyboard heroes.

During the summer of 2000, while having a vacations week in the French Cévennes with Jean-Michel “Tu0,” who was back then a 3D developer at Lankhor, we intensely worked on an upcoming demo. Our joint goal was to showcase a real-time 3D animation featuring a non-realistic rendering, inspired by what SEGA had achieved on Dreamcast with "Jet Set Radio".

Tu0 was able to implement a very similar rendering algorithm, and the following week, at a the Luck and Tigrou Party near Paris, we presented a demo called “Caillou.” Although this demo remained relatively static with simple camera movements (as an unintentional homage to the very first CGI films) it represents for the members of the Mandarine group an experience of a production workflow between generalist software like Lightwave 3D or 3D Studio Max and a proprietary 3D engine (like the one written in C++ by Tu0).

Danube’s contribution was foundational, and those familiar with his work (see the defunct la-meule.com) will recognize his involvement in our 3D universe.

The making of this prod during the 48 hours of the event also witnessed a close collaboration among the three developers of the group (Tu0, LordK, and Analogue), as well as a quite joint effort (from what I remember) between the musicians Kenet and RedRibbon. The general inspiration for the demo, its name, and the overlay illustrations bear the signature of Adrien "AlexKidd," who was a kind of moral and aesthetic authority for the group at that time.

The first 3D demo was supposed to be a "borntro" for the Mandarine group, but the original script and scenario of our borntro were (probably) too ambitious, and perhaps we were all too novice to achieve it. Instead, you got “Caillou,” which I look back on more than twenty years later with a sense of fondness as it boostrapped by own quest for the ultimate 3D rendering style :)
