Here is our entry for the Revision 2018 4 Kilobyte intro competition. It placed 7th out of 18 entries, a bit lower than I had hoped for, but the level of comperition was once again very high.

If you don’t have a fairly high-level videocard, you can watch a video capture on YouTube.

This is our contribution to the Under Construction 2017 combined 4K/64K compo. It’s a not-so-serious party production, hope you’ll like it!

This is our contribution to the Revision 2016 8K intro competition, it placed 6th out of 11. Be warned that it needs a extremely fast video card, and it has an extremely long shader compilation time on Nvidia cards (5 minutes on a slow laptop), although tjhat is only the first time you run it, then it is in the shader cache. On AMD, it’s less extreme but still close to a minute.

This is our contribution to the Assembly 2016 1K competition, where it took the 1st place. You need quite a powerful graphic card to run it in realtime. (RX 470 level for 720p version, GTX 1080 for the 1080p version). There is some making-of information in the readme.txt in the archive.

Here’s a little party-coded compofiller 4K for the Under Construction 2015 demoparty. I was aiming for a more realistic Christmas tree, but the result has tons of raymarch glitches and runs very slow… Still, the audience appreciated it for what it was. Huge thanks to Skyrunner/Brain Control for helping out with the music in a hurry.

This is a party-coded 4K intro for Outline 2014. It placed 4th out of 7 entries. It’s not very optimized, so you need a quite powerful GPU to run it.

As promised at Revision 2014, here are my slides and some example code for my “Reversing entropy for fun and profit” 4K seminar at Revision 2014. A very heavily modified version of this technique was also used in the Regression 8K. The code is C++/OpenGL/GLSL, the project is for Visual Studio 12 express but I’ve tried to keep things as minimal as possible. The Revision 2014 4K seminars can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DQ8eB_FORLo (I was the first speaker)

This is our contribution to the Revision 2014 8K democompo. It’s a single-effect intro with reverse fluid dynamics. It needs a very powerful videocard to run at 60 FPS, which is necessary to stay in sync with the music, as frames can’t be skipped.

This is a party-coded executable gfx for the Demodays 2013 surprise compo. The topic was “This app can’t open. The screen resolution is too low for ‘Music’ to run.” Not having a Windows 8 tablet, I started wondering just how low-res your computing device had to be to justify such an error… I aimed for a 1K, but stopped 96 byte short, not wanting to cut features nor converting everything to assembler.
