boring 3d show.

i cant understand why, but i like it (:

hmm, there is something weird about this intro... i think it's the music leading up to the gfx of the girls... hmm, strange, very enjoyable...

Really good, nice work & design... Go Jamie Go ;)

Without a doubt the best 3D demo on Amiga. The 3D engine is unbelievable for Amiga. With nice music and awesome textures.

Quite nice indeed...

not bad.

I don't like 3D shows but this is best 3D demo and fastest engine on 060 Amiga.
Jamie rulez!!!

...also music is great. this funky bassline!

I love it! :)

Yes, this rulez. Fastest 3D engine ever. I love u skarla!

Fast 3d engine. Some of the camera movements were a bit vomit inducing though.
rulez added on the 2003-10-30 00:43:03 by Pete Pete
not too exciting, and lacks the attitude from some of their earlier demos. very impressive though
rulez added on the 2004-05-09 10:56:04 by hollowman hollowman
Incredibly fast 3D engine but basically nothing more. Still rulez:)

a true beauty, love the music.

Not really good for a 68060 and a little bit boring.
well I _am_ able to enjoy a 3d show when it's this good... texturing is very nice, models are simple yet nice too. loved the tune also ;]

always was fast, always was beauty ... and always was boring :( ... i prefer jamie's work in thuglife in its time...

Simply fantastic
rulez added on the 2005-02-21 13:48:28 by Scali Scali
OK, I don't really like 3D shows, but I have to give a thumb-up for:

* Music
* Quality of textures and models
* Pace and design
* Code (really nice for 68060)

Damn it. I thumbed up a 3D show. I feel dirty.

I don't forget the blue bilinear objects. I don't forget it's the first fpu-3d-corrected 256 color amiga demo, 4 years after the PC area. I don't forget jamie used really tricky things to get the maximum of a CPU doomed by a low gfx memory. Amiga rulez !
skarla rulez !

I don't forget the first time that I'd watch this incredible piece of democoding.
rulez added on the 2005-02-21 17:38:57 by ham ham
piece of master code - and a fork in Zig's mouth in 1999 - he he I remember that :)
rulez added on the 2005-02-21 17:57:28 by bonzaj bonzaj
great code and great textures. Stuff doesnt look like it is converted from 24bit -> 8 bit without care.
rulez added on the 2005-02-21 18:03:20 by loaderror loaderror
Generally I hate 3d demos and this is a PURE 3d show! But it was so damn great coded.

Jamie was a fucking perfectionist of his own kind and this demo kicks arse for its design, textures, music and especially for its speeeeeeeeed on a 060!!
rulez added on the 2005-04-19 12:10:04 by ghandy ghandy
When this was released at MS99, it both the fastest and most accurate 3d engine ever produced on amiga. cool tricks like frame-synced c2p, c2p+vector math combos, bilinear filtering and also perspective correction made this one a really good demo which should have won the compo
rulez added on the 2005-04-19 15:10:57 by winden winden
To thumb it up or not? The code deserves it, without a question. It deserves three thumb ups. Or seventyeight. But other than that, it is nothing spectacular in design or artistic value. But I'm in a good mood today..
rulez added on the 2005-04-19 15:18:31 by Preacher Preacher
technically 100% ruling earned, the rest is kind of boring, the music is okay, the textures are good, overall the flight is only interesting for technical views. but hey, that 3d engine is AMAZING! for this the thumb goes UP! so the thump goes to jamie! :)

and yes, loaderror, he tricks so very good around with the colors...
rulez added on the 2005-04-20 11:12:46 by scicco scicco
Only 3D but oh so smooth!
rulez added on the 2005-08-01 04:52:12 by ALiEN^bf ALiEN^bf
I second scicco. Thumb up ONLY for the extremely nice code as the rest is utterly boring.
rulez added on the 2005-10-21 02:55:01 by StingRay StingRay
I somehow like this a lot.
rulez added on the 2006-06-03 14:38:50 by dairos dairos
Yes it has cool vektor movements and relaxed tune and shit.

Good prod.
Reminds me of Explora
rulez added on the 2007-09-29 22:45:30 by p01 p01
It would be nice to know the polycount of the scenes really. I see this as the benchmark to be measured against when it comes to perspective correct 3D. Which is faster? This one or the Loonies engine?
added on the 2007-09-29 23:45:27 by loaderror loaderror
Fantastic code, excellent textures, nice music and it's not THAT boring ;)

Looks better than many games from the same time.

very cool
rulez added on the 2008-02-06 21:39:01 by oldaccount oldaccount
Bit boring?
for the code I suppose, it really looked neat except for some polygon sorting issues (or clipping)
rulez added on the 2008-08-07 16:01:18 by thec thec
A bit boring indeed but the 3d engine kicks ass.
rulez added on the 2008-12-29 13:07:15 by micdune micdune
woha. how come I never watched this one before. amazing texture work! and as already stated by everyone; massive 3d-engine. not my cup of tea design though.

butter-smooth stuff...relaxing soundtrack!

A jawdropper. And an immensely inspiring one at that. Probably one of the most influential sources of inspiration for Loonies demos in subsequent years.

What's more, the soundtrack is just perfect. One of 3 demos I would take with me to the abandoned island. Plus a 1260. Plus a power generator. Plus Fuel.

Very nice 3D engine for 060, but the camera paths are just horror.
rulez added on the 2010-11-02 18:57:11 by leGend leGend
A little bit too much PC'ish for an Amiga demo, but the 3D engine is great!!
rulez added on the 2010-11-02 22:28:30 by rez rez
Music was laid back, putting the rasterizer centre stage, great texture work helps out the relatively dull abstract spaceship scenes. Technically brilliant but artistically a bit bland.
rulez added on the 2010-11-02 23:04:19 by Claw Claw
Always found this one a bit short..

Forgotten thumb for that delicious production! Great engine, 3d graphics and soundtrack. I'm still waiting for your - announced some time ago - new Amiga demo.

Awesome engine and artwork. A bit too slow paced for my personal taste. But it was a great thrill to be in a competition with you.

Very good demo with very fast 3D engine. Forget the warning about running it only on 68060 - framerate is very good on 68040.
rulez added on the 2016-04-15 13:34:26 by popocop popocop
Obviously good engine, nice textures and passable music.. sadly wasted on a boring flyby demo.

Very belated thumb up to one of the best 3d engines ever written for the Amiga.

It didn't, Essence was a much bigger group that recruited the guys from Skarla, you can read about it on the Essence page at demozoo :)

And still 25 years after it's release I can't think of a better 3D engine showoff on the Amiga, kudos!
