The Commodore 64....... The Computer System that will NEVER die :) I still have mine in Near MINT condition since the 80s. Still have it to this day in pristine condition. That system was so ground breaking back then, and Today in 2021 it still continues to forge forward. Heres to all the C64 maniacs going into 2022!!!
I like it when the musicians come up with a different snare sound than the usual ones you hear. You can get some decent snare drums out of the SID chip, you don't have to get the same ones you hear in 90% of the SID music
@@Starredmediasoft Well i DO know the C64 had the abillity to move the main screen around in the memory like 10 places in the c64's memory with changing of a few hardware addresses and that would take up 1 cycle or so in raster time (or whats its called... barely 1 raster line) but still pretty awesome what they can press out of that ... they would kinda have to change these 10 something places with new graphics .... and that would take a somewhat huge amount of the 1 mhz :P But still can be done i guess.... I BET thats part of the "trick" with many of the new AMAZING demos they create today .... ;)
@@Starredmediasoft actually most of the tricks here don't push the vicII too much.. I know a lot of people who do waaay more advanced tricks than this. but hey, thanks!
yes. in fact, almost everything in this demo is semi-pre-rendered! the trick is to find a way to pre-render partially finished effects and then combine them in a way so it *looks* real-time
basically you learn math and logic the rest comes with it. some of this is clever tricks you will figure out with experience. such as palette shifting, bcus per pixel manipulation was impossibly slow otherwise
@@gazzaka ok, it looks smooth. Anyway, for emulators and pal games/demos - I am changing frequency to 50khz. Maybe every lcd can do it, and it helps a lot
It's amazing how a 40 years old computer makes so impressive art in the 2020s.
thanks dude!

@@Mahlercougar have you used your system though? Or just have it sitting in original box in a closet somewhere?
The did land on the moon, more than 50 years ago! meanwhile 2024 at NASA . . . 🤪

The Future Composer type of drums were heard everywhere. I personally liked the ones Chris Hülsbeck would use.
The demoscene is always AMAZING.
Its insane how much programmers on the old c64 still can press incredible demos out of the 1MHZ ... I used to program on it from 1987 - 1990/1
It's also absurd how they pushed Vic II to the limit.. cannot even image what tricks used to create that

Very impressed how far the c64 has come and how far you have pushed it since our day. Ian&Mic
Cool demo, expecially for lots of weird SID timbres. "Old Style" C64 color palette rendition, muddy, violet-brownish and red-less.
The best demos always go beyond expectations.
Amazing demo! C64 Power!
Incredible work.
Very nice. Love the 80s feel.
The work on dithering is impressive.
I need to watch this again!
Brilliant! I still miss my Commodore 128.
It's A Cool ❤🎉 Is C64 Demos 👾
First song is epic!
super impressive
in a top 10 List of Video Chips the VIC II should be in the lower spot right next to 3DFX
I LOVE C64 👍🥂🎩
This is so awesome! I could only imagine what the source code for this would look like!
I know, right?
just ask them
They really pushed the C64 to its breaking point, did they?
3:00 Those 3d polygons were pre-rendered sprites, right?
I would guess so... But still looks awesome

So this is what the boomers had
no. this is leet stuff. back then it was 1000x shittier.
Could u use a Commodore to write a 3D animation programm and animate videos with it?
In theory you could, but it'd be far easier to use a PC
Where can I download it?
www.pouet.net/prod.php?which=81915
how was it recorded? is this real CRT?
No it is captured by OBS on PC.
this is ntsc version?
No, but most monitors refresh at 60hz these days, so it was an experiment

@@mnxnm Okay,thanks for letting me know ;-)
@@gazzaka you're welcome :)
no I never seem to get around to make ntsc version of stuff.. except for the Purple Planet Yo VIC-20 demo! Be sure to check that one out =)
Wow it's so boring
