Here is our entry for the Revision 2018 4 Kilobyte intro competition. It placed 7th out of 18 entries, a bit lower than I had hoped for, but the level of comperition was once again very high.

If you don’t have a fairly high-level videocard, you can watch a video capture on YouTube.

This is our contribution to the Revision 2016 8K intro competition, it placed 6th out of 11. Be warned that it needs a extremely fast video card, and it has an extremely long shader compilation time on Nvidia cards (5 minutes on a slow laptop), although tjhat is only the first time you run it, then it is in the shader cache. On AMD, it’s less extreme but still close to a minute.

As promised at Revision 2014, here are my slides and some example code for my “Reversing entropy for fun and profit” 4K seminar at Revision 2014. A very heavily modified version of this technique was also used in the Regression 8K. The code is C++/OpenGL/GLSL, the project is for Visual Studio 12 express but I’ve tried to keep things as minimal as possible. The Revision 2014 4K seminars can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DQ8eB_FORLo (I was the first speaker)

This is our contribution to the Revision 2014 8K democompo. It’s a single-effect intro with reverse fluid dynamics. It needs a very powerful videocard to run at 60 FPS, which is necessary to stay in sync with the music, as frames can’t be skipped.

And here’s the 4K intro we just released at Revision 2013, in cooperation with Brainstorm. It’s pretty slow though, no cone tracing this time…

At Revision 2012, I took part in the Lightning Seminars, a new category of seminars that take only 4 to 8 minutes, including Q&A. Since I had trouble keeping my talk in that short a timeframe, I had to cut a few slides, and postpone questions until after the other talks.
I promised to make a longer version of my slides available here, so you can download them here:
Cone_Marching_Mandelbox_by_Seven_Fulcrum_LongVersion
If this helps you to implement cone marching in your own demos or intros, a greeting would be appreciated.
