INTERVIEW WITH EXCEL/BALANCE


You all have to know that after 3 or 4
hours on IRC spent chatting with a lot
of guys, ideas come out, and you start
getting bored...  One  of the best way
to enjoy again the Internet Relay Chat
is having an interview with one of the
coolest Swedish scener: Excel/Balance.
It's really an exciting thing :)

ST: Hi Excel, introduce yourself...

AN: Well , is  there  anything to  say
really ... I am at the moment 18 years
old and my "scene life" began maybe  5
years ag

Chatting on  IRC (Internet Relay Chat)
is easy  to  find  some  VIS,  in  the
famous #amigascne channel.  A chat can
become an interview,  especially if an
editor is chatting with  Juliet/CNCD!


Randy> Hi! I  will like  to  interview
you   for SHOWTIME,  please,  make  me
happy!

Juliet> Everybody's interviewing me :)
i have nothing to say, but go ahead.

Randy> Since  you are very know,  your
past  story  is  not  a scoop.  Then I
start asking:  What  CPU do  you  like
most actually?

Juliet>

By Randy/Ram Jam

2nd place: Brainbow/Essence

The coder of this intro is Touchstone, the gfx man is Fadeone and the musician
is Virgill. The routines present are environment mapping/shading with a nice
spacecut (is possible to see the intersection of 3d objects with a pic).
I hope Touchstone will return to code soon, since he said he has no time now.

By Randy/Ram Jam


2nd place: DREAMSCAPE/TRIUMPH

This is more an  animation player than a demo,  since are visualized 7 minutes
of animation stored on  4Mb. I think is  like an MPEG player,  also if someone
trust it is a raytracer. Is supported also the  Cybervision 64  gfx card.
The code is by Darkman & Smeagol,  the gfx is by  Ivan & Morten,  the music by
Quest.  Is possible to watch  it on ECS machines in grey  mode or HAM8 on  AGA
machines.  The "film" played is a  war  between spaceships f

By Randy/Ram Jam


3rd place: PINCH/SPACEBALLS

This demo is done by Slummy for the code, and Vinnie for the music. The better
things  of this  demo are the  music with distorted  electric guitar  and  the
scanned photos of  tattooed  guys and body piercings.  Are  present also  some
routines, but the most significative thing is the ambientation. Surely this is
the most original one.}

By Randy/Ram Jam


1th place: TINT/THE BLACK LOTUS

This demo features a good audio-video syncronization,  a lot  of fast routines
(all chunky screens have pixels in 2x2), and nice gfx.
The requirements are  4mb of fast ram and  5mb free on your HD.  Sometime  the
demo crashes on a4000/040.
The code is by Equalizer and Offa,  the gfx is done by Danny, Facet, Louie and
Rodney, the music is by Azarel and objects are by Tudor.
Since there  is a good link between routines, you can imagine  that demo

By Randy/Ram Jam

3rd place: Mixed Emotions/C-Lous

This intro feature only some texture waving and distortions,  and an envmapped
object.  Authors are: Prospect (code),  Frame (gfx),  Soul & Movement (music).
Not a milestone, not boring: just an intro.

By Randy/Ram Jam

3rd place: DMA Design/Rednex

This  intro has  a nice music by Supernao,  and some  routines  by Vention and
SurfSmurf  like texture  zoomers and  rotators,  plus  smearing, and  a filled
tunnell. This is a good 4k intro, since is present also a music tune.}

By Randy/Ram Jam

2nd place: EQ-4K/The Black Lotus

The author of this intro is... (hard question!)  Equalizer/TBL.  No audio, but
some  nice routines,  like motion  blurred texture  distortions, a perspective
textured ground,  and a nice textured  tunnell with blurred clouds that enters
in it.  I think it's better than  Gizmo/TBL, since it  has better palette  and
impressive routines.

By Randy/Ram Jam

1st place: Gizmo/The Black Lotus

The author of this intro is Gizmo/TBL (easy to undestand it). It has no audio,
but a lot of routines: fire, envmapped torus, voxel landscape, morphing torus,
torus in a tunnell.

By Randy/Ram Jam

1st place: LIGHTS/Stellar

The authors of this intro are: Lemming (production management), Nose (coding),
Frankie (gfx), Groo (music), Hook (Wave routine).  The routines are a textured
tunnell, a  "water" waving  and a  cascade  of gold  coins, that  is the  most
original and impressive one,  since it feature a good shading and bumpmapping.
The music is perfectly correlated with video effects.

By Randy/Ram Jam


1th place: THE GATE/ARTWORK

This demo has the best 3d routines actually available on Amiga. The main coder
is Azure, with the help of Tron for the voxel landscape. The graphics are done
by Fiver and Noogman, and the great musics are by SMT and Virgill.
Is really nice  to see fullscreen envmapped  and shaded objects  running on an
Amiga with 68040/25Mhz fast as on a Pentium/133Mhz, considering the  fact that
the 1x1 chunky screens are emulated on our loved machine...
But, reme
