Farb-Rausch Releases PC Demo Creation Software

Posted by simoniker on from the rsi-demo-maker dept.

RaD Man [ACiD] writes "Farb-Rausch, one of the best-known groups at the forefront of the PC demoscene, has just released Werkkzeug, a fully featured, freely downloadable PC demo creation tool used to make the visually stunning and award-winning demo The Popular Demo. Not only have they freely published the creation tools, but they've also released the original datafiles for The Popular Demo as well." We also recently featured a 96kb FPS demo from the same authors.

    What's this about "The Popular Demo" being 64k? It's actually 8,854,016 bytes long.

    Probably a result of it being zip compressed. :-)

    Have any of you seen a demo that supports hardware acceleration? Maybe something that uses openGL?

    Yeah, I think I saw something called Quake in a computer magazine or something.

    from the days of glorified LAN parties

    LAN parties? Surely you mean _copy_ parties. There were no LANs in the _real_ good old days. Hard disks were scarce, too. And bandwidth was measured by how many floppies would fit in a envelope.

    Oh yeah, and we had to walk uphill both ways. ;-)
