Review on Chaos Land
Chaos Land is the intro contribution from the Finnish heros at Virtual Dreams. As the name suggests, this 40K intro is based around the idea of chaos generated landscapes and fractals.... and what an intro it is! Tsunami, the coder of Chaos Land, seems to have done nothing but mastering the theory of Chaos arithmetic, since his last production! The intro starts off with a nice Virtual Dream logo drawn by D-Mage, which is shown while the 150... read more
Review on D
The second contribution comes from the German guys in Essence. From the very beginning, D immediately becomes very reminiscent to the now infamous Melon productions. Just like last year's Tetris success, D starts with a bubble hovering and zooming on an Essence logo. This time though, no real time ray tracing rendering is claimed! Next comes a series of light sourced and RGB square vectors... too bad they are so small, but maybe this was a part of the design, which al... read more
Review on Toyzareus
At only 20 votes away from D, the french dreamers strike back with another cute intro, entitled Toyzareus! The intro starts off with a cute title picture of a funny bear, which immediately prepares you for a trip into the world of cute graphics! The text writer parts feature a little light sourced vector star, and the links between the various parts are accomplished with the aid of the infamous flying vector plane. Dreamdealers also managed to include a B... read more
Review on Poison
The Polish Investation managed to pull themselves up to the 5th place with their POISON intro! Unfortunately, this intro confirms, from the very beginning, the weakest point in most Polish productions; and that is the graphics. I cannot withhold myself without pointing that the graphics from DR. D are not the best ones you'll ever see. The intro starts with an ugly INV logo, which looks very much like the ones that used to be featured in the demos of 1985... read more
Review on Real 40k
It's time for a new experience... LEGO are here! Everyone is familiar with the Danish toy that consists of blocks with which complex constructions can be built up! LEGO is a newly formed group which wanted to show the scene, through their first production, that anyone can achieve a funny effect in a production with a touch of quality! You won't find dozens of complex routines in THE REAL 40K INTRO, but to compensate for that, the intro is full of jokes...... read more
