mudballs, live at sundown October 9th 2006, trace
At this point most of you probably saw the demo, but just in case... oh well.. a little bit of background first ;) This weekend we went to sundown06. A tiny (but great) party held in Budleigh Salterton, a tiny town by the beach in the area of Devon (South West England). This is probably the longest travel we've done in UK by now, and it was absolutelly great. Everyone there was VERY polite and it felt like a normal town in Spain, where when you walk around the streets you say Hello to the people you met, doesn't matter if you know eachother or not.

I was working on a demo for it, but I had something like 6% of the demo, and I wasn't really going to finish it. So, I decided to do another one a little bit easier using a program that Jull showed me a couple of weeks ago (Mudbox). So I spent friday night, and Saturday working on it. It was a shame that I was that busy because I wasn't able to listen properly what Mark Shuttleworth (the guy behind Ubunu) was talking about. Yes, the guy behind Ubuntu ;), for some reason he was there proposing to the sceners to create demos for the login screen/loading bar of Ubuntu. If you take a look at Ubuntu screensavers you won't be that much surprised. As I said, it was a small party, but it was super cool to see Navis/asd, Smash/flt and Mark Shuttleworth having a chat just in front of you. Isn't it really cool? Again, a shame I was busy doing the demo... However, I think that all that unsocial time it was worth. Here it's the demo:

From my point of view a smooth abstract story, well executed and visually correct.
Almost everything the same, but show us a rich use of effects, sincronized perfectly along the soundtrack.
Uses pixel-vertex shader stuff in a clever way, and not focussing on that advantage boring the audience with that buzz-effects (like other demoscene groups do)

Since Tokyo xplsv is going on, I'm waitting to see another great demo. C'Mon! Thumbs up

very cool demo, really enjoyed watching it with deep yet subtle palettes and a gorgeous tune to match the immaculate direction. Also how cool it was to meet you and sole at the party, keep up the great work!
