The best Accelerated demo at this time...

added on the 2000-07-21 10:09:29 by Kassoulet

Very cute style. I don't think it's the best accelerated demo(IMHO) but its one of my three favourites (accelerated)

added on the 2000-09-03 02:39:07 by bp

all screens are really beautifull and very well designed, another masterpiece from Unreal...

added on the 2000-09-09 16:15:28 by rez

A really well designed demo, a good syncro with music, very good 3D effects. But, I don't understand the end, such an unexpected cut.

Wonder is a very nice looking accelerated demo, quite enjoyable so download it, fetch a drink and enjoy! ;)

not as good as tesla, but aahhh... delightful

added on the 2001-06-05 01:52:16 by fractalgp $fractalgp$

this accelerated demo rocks, i like all effects but i prefer tesla.
good design

added on the 2001-07-13 13:35:59 by babs^dOh

It deserve at least a "roulaise" mark from me...

rulez added on the 2001-07-25 15:00:39 by Sanx

oh yes. the most beautiful pc demo i've ever seen.

rulez added on the 2001-07-25 15:19:14 by robotriot

This is probably the first quality OpenGL demo I saw. 1st place at Gravity 99, September 1999, btw. Runs smooth on a TNT2.

rulez added on the 2001-07-25 15:29:09 by phoenix

my computer screen often turns to the sun when I launch this demo.

rulez added on the 2001-07-25 16:16:33 by fred

Pretty pretty but pretty

rulez added on the 2001-10-03 23:57:32 by Zafio

Probably my fave accelerated demo

rulez added on the 2001-10-04 04:18:06 by mac

very nice indeed. I think there is something wrong with my workstation-setup, since parts of this demo ran in less than 20fps (gf2mx 1200mhz athlon).

great stuff.. but the sound doesnt seem to work very well together with win2k

rulez added on the 2001-12-11 16:20:49 by a_lee_n

good colors, good synch with music
but too much layers for my taste

added on the 2002-01-03 00:24:10 by Zone (leZone)

More of this, PLEASE! ^_^

rulez added on the 2002-01-03 01:00:40 by Vip

The colors are actually a bit off in every scene. but overall this demo eats most others for breakfast. Oh, and the music is divine ;)

rulez added on the 2002-01-03 01:59:59 by Shifter

Thumbs up for this piece!
Awesome visuals, and a chilling soundtrack.
I love the 'wicked' part of the music (at the credz part).

rulez added on the 2002-01-10 03:16:39 by Gargaj

Like Tesla, a classic. Period.

Clean style, fast code, good music (not as good as the tesla tune, but still cool).
Lacks sync (no reaction to the guitars) and concept/meaning (but that's ok, there is enough eye/ear-candy that keeps you entertained...).

rulez added on the 2002-01-11 18:19:06 by tomaes

Beootifull, just plain beootiful

rulez added on the 2002-01-11 18:29:15 by Nezbie

nice style and visuals, very good music.

rulez added on the 2002-01-14 14:59:15 by lai

very "demo", which isn't necessarily a bad thing. the track enhances this feeling..

feels like a long groupeffort

rulez added on the 2002-01-17 12:43:58 by distance

This is too amazing. Runs smoothly in older machines aswell.

rulez added on the 2002-02-17 11:41:22 by dairos

Quite a nice abstract demo.

a 3d demo can be more than a scene player as unreal shows here =)

rulez added on the 2002-04-02 12:45:39 by eetu

somehow nothing has evolved since this.

rulez added on the 2002-04-02 12:52:14 by droid

As with many others, one of the first accelerated demos I ever saw. And it is awesome nevertheless...

rulez added on the 2002-04-02 12:58:17 by moT

A really cool demo, if there wasn't that additive-layers-until-the-screen-is-white madness and the good sounding but senseless music. I won't say it rulez, but I wouldn't miss it either.

added on the 2002-05-08 10:10:34 by kb_

I haven't voted for this? damn! this rocks :)

rulez added on the 2002-05-08 10:58:37 by teel

Overrated, though not a bad demo. Good music and graphics, yet I was unmoved by the slow pace and abstract effects.

added on the 2002-05-23 01:29:55 by Wade^Hjb

Excellent Synchronized Demo.

rulez added on the 2002-08-16 20:25:21 by Mike 3D

Brilliant, kickass demo. Energetic sound

Am I the only one with the win2k problem?

added on the 2003-01-11 23:36:58 by a_lee_n

still beautiful in a maximalist sort of way.. a little too much motion blur perhaps.. the 2d art was very well done.. very interesting credits part.. music's not bad and is synced alright but didn't really seem to fit the mood of the visuals..

rulez added on the 2003-01-12 00:23:51 by dyscotopia

Started the multiple translucent layers era..

added on the 2003-02-18 11:01:02 by Optimus

I see this as a 'true' hardware demo... It's not doing the regular software stuff on hardware, but it does stuff that would be impossible in software... Creative (ab)use of fillrate.

rulez added on the 2003-04-16 03:02:56 by Scali

Really nice production, excellent soundtrack ...

rulez added on the 2004-05-18 15:08:33 by Avalanche

Beautiful style-demo with an amaizing sound. Good work.

Beautiful!

rulez added on the 2004-11-29 22:45:49 by erpherman

One of the first hardware accelerated demos actually worth watching. The effects still kick ass, after five years.

Amazing, this demo really was way ahead of it's time, it's hard to belive that it was released well over 5 years ago.

rulez added on the 2005-01-23 16:31:02 by Sdw

i can't say i like it..

You'll have to watch that prod 4-5 times to really see all the stuff in it (such as in some T-Rex prods)!
Beautiful music and particular mood.

Didn't like it then, don't like it now. Additive layers != design.

Getting old by today standards but still very effective. Desing is, of course, simply great.

i like it - not as good as tesla but still very nice

rulez added on the 2005-11-28 04:25:32 by Gaia

Overloaded but still quite beautiful. The credits part is likely the most original one but there really was nothing like this back when this was released. It's interesting how all the sunflower demos are really different styles, this reminds me of older stuff that statix's earlier stuff a bit.

rulez added on the 2006-02-02 00:25:16 by slux

a classic one

rulez added on the 2006-02-02 00:28:00 by NuKem

At the time it was the wake-up call to start coding decent stuff for 3d gfxcards. Definately one of the best sunflower/pulse demos! Unreal rules big time.

rulez added on the 2006-03-30 11:54:04 by arm1n

yes this one was great.

rulez added on the 2006-03-30 12:10:46 by seρρjο

Rulez.
its one of my favourite demos.

Get this Demo and Tesla both on the Mind Candy vol.1 DVD, The style will never die it's a beauty for sure.

rulez added on the 2017-07-28 15:01:00 by nagz

I like that kind of abstract scenes in such colors, nicely synchronized with music. It's enyojable even after 20 years.

rulez added on the 2019-06-22 13:57:45 by vdr

Very nice, actually. Like special credits scrolling effect near ending and so on.

By the way, it runs under modern versions of Windows, but sound will be broken.
