Menger sponges are so cheesy and you really cheesed it up (ok, that's all I have) ;D
Excellent presentation, love the name too and the whole thing worked really well!

This is not just an FX - it's a complete intro that looks really polished!

Great job - ROCKS!

Thats a really nice Intro! Love the shaders, love the little bites at the corners of the cube, love the nice twists :).

Post by: padman on April 28, 2012: Brilliant stuff mate! I had some little problems reading the scroller at times though. Anyway, worked fine on Win 7 x64 with an ATI card. But it's quite slow in windowed mode. No wait, that was my entry... ;D
:clap:

Yep by the way even if it's not running here, as I saw the screenshot I think Raizor is raising the level to Razor! :||

Post by: ferris on April 28, 2012: Cool entry :) Looks great; has a nice Rez-like look to it, hehe. I think the music choice doesn't fit too well, but other than that this is really cool. Especially like the "screen bubble" distortion and the light vignette.

Title: Re: [CUBES] Menger's Mice
Post by: Raizor on April 29, 2012: Thank you for the nice comments :)

Ferris, I'm not overly keen on the tune with the intro either, it was the only 4klang tune I could find that was suitable for syncing though.

I've been trying to put together a video capture, what a bloody nightmare. Kkapture doesn't want to play ball, so I've had to use FRAPS. It doesn't seem to compress well, due to the noise effects but hopefully I'll get something on youtube today. Spent hours so far :P

EDIT: Ok, finally have a video thanks to Premiere. Uploading now. Hopefully it will be available later today and I'll embed it in the first post.

Just a note - I use AntiVir and I had to turn it off while launching the demo because Antivir thinks it is a virus.

Really? Oh man, I didn't pack it as Kaspersky kept going crazy and deleting both Kkrunchy and the packed intro.

Title: Re: [CUBES] Menger's Mice
Post by: combatking0 on April 30, 2012: Is it a cube? Is it a cheese?

Yes, both of these, but it's also the most excellent combination of food and fractals I have ever seen :o

Where can I buy one ;)
Title: Re: [CUBES] Menger's Mice
Post by: Raizor on April 30, 2012: Thanks Pot Noodle and Combatking.

Post by: Pixel_Outlaw on May 01, 2012: Good heavens, boolean subtraction of a fractal!

Amazing work. Awesome to the max!

Post by: Shockwave on May 16, 2012: First one I've watched properly.. I really love the way that the logo is formed in the beginning and the menger cube really looks like Cheddar :)

I can't fault this in any way Raizor, the soundtrack to Dollop is my favourite 4k music ever too.

This will be hard to top!
Title: Re: [CUBES] Menger's Mice
Post by: Raizor on May 16, 2012: Thanks for the kind words Shockie :)

Good to have to have you back on the information superhighway!
Title: Re: [CUBES] Menger's Mice
Post by: jace_stknights on May 17, 2012: @Raizor: no way to see it running on my intelgraphic card? ;D I'm fed up with watching it on youtube...
Title: Re: [CUBES] Menger's Mice
Post by: Raizor on May 17, 2012: Jace, do you know what your card is? Model number or whatever.
