Post by: benny! on January 23, 2013: Another fine cracktro design. Very well done. Cool text, too!

Just a question - why is the filesize realtively big? Is it not packed at all?

Anyways ... good work!

Best,
benny!

Post by: Shockwave on January 23, 2013: Nice one Celtic, reminds me very much of the Cybezerk cracktro by Accession on the Amiga :)

Post by: mazemaker on January 23, 2013: Nice intro with a revolutionary flavour.

There is something weird about the purple and blue floating orbecules - they appear to be clipped as if by a plane...

The executable binary seems pretty large for what it is, why is that? Do you have a big engine library in there? Or is there a secret screen we all must unlock!

I just noticed that. Is the light source for the objects rotating?

If you look carefully, there is a quadrilaterial which does not all lie flat, within each orbecule...

Post by: C3lt1c on January 23, 2013: Sorry I have the wrong file uploaded. (Fixed)
The Plane for the BG is on the same z position like the orbecules.

The file is so large, because i had include two big true color bmp files for the logo.
I know a JPG loader would have been better. ;D

Post by: mazemaker on January 23, 2013: Thank you for fixing the Z intersection of the orbecules, C3lt1c!

One other thing, which is technical and not really about the visuals (it looks fine now) - You seem to be calling glGenBuffers for every single orbecule (sometimes even twice for a single orbecule!). This results in 100's of allocated VBO's.

Maybe you can allocate one buffer and put all the vertexes and colors in there, and then do multiple glDrawElements?

Just a little coder tip! :cheers:

Yes I have crafted my own framework what I constantly expanding.
Just what I need is the time to create new Intros
