demojournal #85 01/04/2000 subscribers: 350 this week question of the week: Mekka Symposium or The Gathering this year? last week question of the week: > why is 2000 filled with only good 3d acc prods? why isnt there > any non 3d acc good prods out so far? Why was 1994 filled with vga demos? Where were the cga/ega releases? -Malte Progress, perhaps.... But, umm, Unet Sydämen Ajatuksia by Haujobb, isn't that non-3Dacc? It totally rules, anway. -jobe because 3d acceleration rules, all top-groups are switching to hardware, or haven't released anything this year :) btw i dont think there aren't any good software prods, i myself really like dead cells by haujobb. but i agree, the hardware prods are better... -snq_aardbei Hey! Check out some 4K intros! (The Ambience winner for example :)) Or are 4K's no productions, hmm ?!? More seriously because 3D accelerators aren't the future anymore, they are the present. Which is really bad, because I still haven't bought one of them :) -Seven, still living in the past we are in the 2k year =) retrofuturism style is definetely the style of the year, 3d cards are so powerfull why not use them ? -flod news: Artgroup moonrise released #4 artpack: moonrise.planet-d.net Small mistake last week about bus trip to summer encounter from paris.. mail legall@esiea.fr for details (wrong email, my bad) Coma2 is announced to happen (following last year).
