	This week! I have been mostly eating... papaya and water with bubbles


=====! interview !=============================================================

	Session Start: Wed Aug 04 00:36:02 1999

	*** _frost_ has joined #demojournal

	<|ps|> hi! :) so who are you? :)

	<_frost_> I'm doing fine thanks. =) A little tired from work, but
		  fine. =) and you?

	<|ps|> who not how! :D im between very sad and very happy though..
	       thx for asking :P

	<_frost_> erm yes, did I mention I was tired? =) hehe...

	<|ps|> ;) so why are you tired? where do you work?

	<_frost_> Well, my real name is Danny Oros, and I'm from Canada.
		  I've been drawing on the computer for quite a while and
		  stuff, and got interested in the scene a few years ago...
		  I'm old, and getting fat. =) (and tired) =)
		  I'm currently employed at Ubi Soft Entertainment
		  (Canada), where I spend my days drawing textures, images,
		  debugging 3D levels, etc.

	<|ps|> when was your first contact with computers and the
	       artscene/demoscene

	<_frost_> I first started drawing on my cousin's C64 when I was
		  about 14 or so, then on to AMSTRAD and the first Tandy
		  computers. I really had lots of fun around 1990 when I
		  got my first VGA card... I learned about the scene in
		  1994, a year after Second Reality's release... watching
		  older demos from FC, Sonic PC, Renaissance and stuff.
		  From that day I realized that I wasn't the only freak
		  pixeling in the world and that there were people having
		  fun and competing doing it too. I later found that the
		  scene held many many great people who are real fun to
		  talk and share with.

	<|ps|> so you've been around for quite some time. tell us how have
	       things changed from those times to nowdays..

	<_frost_> Well, I suppose I haven't been around as long as I would
		  have wished. I really got in touch with the real
		  international sceners in 1996, which is very late. So it's
		  rather hard for me to tell a tale of something I wasn't
		  too close to at that time. I just had a few demos on my
		  hard-drive I got off some people I knew who had some BBS
		  accounts at some odd places. =)

	<|ps|> so what can you tell us about 96 then? :)

	<_frost_> Being a North American isn't really cool for that...
		  being so far away from the mainstream demo makers.
		  1996... I recall working for a startup web company as
		  computer programmer in C under Linux & UNIX... urgh.
		  Bad memories. =) And pixeling some stuff... competing
		  in the last "real" North American demo party, NAID'96,
		  where I lost to ANSI artists, hehe, gotta love public
		  voting. =)

	<|ps|> how did you manage to tag along then?
	       er, how did your pics get in the same compo as the ansi pics?

	<_frost_> Some local sceners here in Montreal were talking with
		  people on this thing called IRC, which I knew nothing
		  about. They kindly introduced me to the addictive disease
		  that it is today. I first hung around #trax, then #coders,
		  and eventually i learned about #pixel (6 months later!) =).
		  The gfx compo was won by ANSI artists strutting their
		  stuff with photoshop (something I had never seen in my
		  life) in 24 bit, auto-antialiasing, etc... which kind of
		  pissed me off cause I had spent 27+ hours on a hi-res
		  pixeled pic with a buggy pixeling program called PICTOR
		  (from GRASP), which I later continued with DPII. But now
		  I can say I can kick their asses my eyes closed, so, I
		  don't make a fuss over that anymore. (my pic sucked the
		  bag btw.=))

	<|ps|> so, how was your carrer scene-wise? what happened after 96?

	<_frost_> Well locally, I started off in a group called USED,
		  then moved on to do stuff with Satire, then the almighty
		  'Da Cheez Brigade' wanted me in, so I joined without
		  resistance. =) (they have all been inactive since pretty
		  much) =)

	<|ps|> so what after the adventures with dcb on naid96? :)

	<_frost_> In 1996, I learned how to use 3DS4 and learned about 3D
		  altogether, and the whole technical shebang behind all
		  that stuff. Learned photoshop. Made a few demos for game
		  companies like Epic Megagames, 3D Realms, etc... none of
		  which came through for me, until Ubi Soft opened shop in
		  Montreal, which made me a very happy man. =)
		  I've been there since April 1998.

	<|ps|> uh, what games where you involved with?

	<_frost_> Well, after winning pretty much anything they competed in
		  North America, DCB went off the active list, as members
		  went to study and work, which is still the case today.
		  DCB is not officially down, but, not the most active at
		  the moment.
		  At Ubi Soft, well, I've worked on Tonic Trouble (both the
		  PC and N64 version), also did some 2D help work for a few
		  other games like Monaco Grand Prix for PlayStation (also
		  acted as a technical director for the artists who worked
		  on it in China), and a few other odd things here and there.
		  For Tonic Trouble, I had converted original hi-res 24bpp
		  textures into 16-color shared-palette 64x64 textures
		  (from 16 million colors to 16, erm.=) ... I spent over
		  4 months doing that day in and day out for over 800
		  textures. But I loved it. =)

	<|ps|> what about scene-wise, are you still trying to be active or
	       given up into work?

	<_frost_> Well, I joined ACME early in 1998 I believe it was, and
		  now they have also gone inactive. I'm still drawing some
		  things on the side, mostly for personal purposes. I never
		  compete in GFX compos anywhere, cause basically I can't
		  attend the Parties, which is a really big drag. =(
		  I sometimes wonder if I'm not TOO occupied with work to be
		  active at all. =)

	<|ps|> do you have a 8hour/day work in the office? or do you do
	       things at your own pace?

	<_frost_> I have an 8-hour a day job, and I spend an additional
		  2 and a half hours travelling to and back from it.
		  I definitely don't work at my own pace. There are
		  deadlines, and such to meet.

	<|ps|> sounds like hard work to me

	<_frost_> ******* btw, I started pixeling some 12 years ago..
		  well, it's a job, and it's definitely not as fun as
		  drawing whatever you feel like drawing for the scene
		  and competing with friends and getting prizes. =)
		  hehe, but I still love it.
		  As it turns out, I've never been active in the scene
		  per se, but I have made so many great friends that I just
		  can't leave and not come back, too many people I care
		  about and love talking and sharing with.

	<|ps|> ok, what was your first party? :)

	<_frost_> Naid96 was my first and last party. =)
		  (I'm not even going to count COMA'99 as a demo party)

	<|ps|> hehe, so what are the best and worst memories of naid? :)

	<_frost_> But demos I have done work for are Explosive/SATIRE who
		  got 2nd at CRASH'97 (the party that crashed), and
		  Splendid/EXCUSED who got 14th at ASM97. Of course I did
		  not attend these.
		  I have no awesome memory from NAID, as I basically didn't
		  sleep for over 60 hours straight. =)
		  I think my brain just stopped responding at that time. =)

	<|ps|> hehe :) so, are you ready for demojournal's top quizshow
	       contest? :)

	<_frost_> Erm... is there stuff to win? =)) If not, screw it. =)
		  (joke) Go ahead. =)

	<|ps|> 1. whats your favorite color?

	<_frost_> I would have to say Green.. relaxed, dark, and nicely
		  but not oversaturated green. =)

	<|ps|> 2. what is the capital of madagascar?

	<_frost_> Helsinki? =)

	<|ps|> 3. if you could only take 3 things to a deserted island what
	       would you take?

	<_frost_> A blonde, a brunette, and of course a red-head. =))
		  (and if there were any extra space, lots of beer)

	<|ps|> 4. what is the biggest reptile on earth?

	<_frost_> Either Godzilla or Bill Clinton. =)

	<|ps|> 5. coke or pepsi?

	<_frost_> None of the above. (beer) =)

	<|ps|> whats your favorite demo?

	<_frost_> Hmm, good one. I have strange tastes in demos... but I
		  definitely like the older demos like Panic/FC,
		  Stuff/(xtacy?), Dope/Complex... but I must also mention
		  Mensverk/Tpolm, which really amused me. Hmm, most Bomb
		  demos, and of course anything NOOON made... etc.
		  I just like things made for the fun of it... I can almost
		  feel it when I watch them. =)

	<|ps|> do you still take the time to get some occasional stuff from
	       the net or not really anymore?

	<_frost_> Well, since I have a P2 and running Win98 with a SB-Live,
		  I don't do as many demo leeching, cause 60% of them just
		  won't work, either no sound, no support for some low-res
		  hicolor video mode, memory problems, etc. Anything made
		  with Turbo-Pascal doesn't work, so scratch a few good ones
		  there. I mainly download windows demos now, the few that
		  come out that is, like Nomad's stuff, Bomb's, etc.
		  I'm going to build myself a demo machine soon, with some
		  486 with GUS, running DOS 5.0 =))

	<|ps|> bahahaha, ever tried getting scitech doctor and starting
	       under dos? :P

	<_frost_> well, I quit using display doctor some 2 years ago...
		  I never like VESA, but anyways, I also heard my specific
		  card is not supported by sci-tech so... =(

	<|ps|> tough luck.. :/

	<_frost_> yes =)) but I'm used to that. =)

	<|ps|> what are your favorite coder/tracker/gfxians?

	<_frost_> favorite coders would have to be Unreal, Statix and Camel.
		  trackers, hmm, that's tough since I don't listen to
		  tracked trax anymore, but Vic, Scorpik, Radix, Carebear
		  among the best in my oppinion. gfxers, Made, Danny, Niko
		  (who also works at ubi!=), RA (who HAS worked at Ubi=)),
		  and so many many more... too many good people and great
		  friends here... =)
		  oh, TMK of course... and Haplo, and Zeb, and Acryl, and...
		  =))

	<|ps|> let us talk pixel techniques!

	<_frost_> Hmm, ok. =)

	<|ps|> how do you jump from beeing a pixeler to mastering it

	<_frost_> Mastering a pixel is only a mouse click away. =) But
		  seriously, I would say that being a "master of the pixel"
		  is purely a technical issue, where you can draw or
		  reproduce any image using pixels efficiently, using a
		  limited color set and resolution. Someone who fully
		  understands and masters such things as antialiasing,
		  dithering, color selection, etc.
		  I don't consider myself as having mastered pixeling,
		  even though I have over 11 years or so "experience".
		  I don't think too many people have either.

	<|ps|> well.. you can do it once and it looks crap.. you try again
	       and it still looks crap.. how do you learn the proper
	       technics?

	<_frost_> A pixeler is just someone who uses these techniques to
		  project their visions, ideas, etc.

	<|ps|> dont get technical on me! talk technical! :P

	<_frost_> You can only learn by looking at others work, and figuring
		  out WHY he did it like that and WHY it looks good that way
		  and not your experimental way. =)
		  It's a long study, when and when not to use dithering,
		  reduce and augment antialising... etc... I'm still
		  learning. =)

	<|ps|> humm.. i see :)

	<_frost_> The same for color selection, and less technical things
		  such as image design, shapes, contrast, shading. Basically,
		  there's only one way to the recipe in my oppinion, and you
		  can improvise along the way.

	<|ps|> so what are the best tools for 8bit and 24bit these days?

	<_frost_> Well, I don't know about that many tools, but tools we
		  use at work for palette stuff (well, since I'm the only
		  one doing that kind of stuff in Canada) I use GFX2 (yeah!)
		  and photoshop for smaller and quick touch-ups. Anything in
		  RGB 16/24 is photoshop for me. I'd like to get to work
		  with Painter, but, it's too artsy for me I think, I'm too
		  used to the confines of the pixel and their manipulation.

	<|ps|> ok, i think this is it.. :) you have an homepage and email? :)

	<_frost_> I have a homepage in the works at
		  http://www.dsuper.net/~frost, and an email addy at
		  frost@dsuper.net or megafrost@hotmail.com. =))
		  Well, now that the torture is over for you, guess you can
		  go to bed =)))))

	<|ps|> wanna say hi to anyone (any pet? :P) before i chop yor head?:)

	<_frost_> and sorry for being such a lame-ass person =)
		  oh yes!! I'd like to send my love and greets to Wojtek
		  (Unreal), Adam (Scorpik), Carlos (Made), Chris (Dr.Yes),
		  and Lluvia of course!=), Danny (Danny/Tbl), Jakob (Radix),
		  Tommy!=) (TMK), and the rest of the people that I talk to
		  ever so often, especially the ones I have met during my
		  stay in Paris! Cheers people!
		  (hope to have not forgotten anyone here! I'm sure I did!!!)

	<|ps|> you have a pet?

	<_frost_> My computer is my pet. =)

	<|ps|> whats her name? :P

	<_frost_> Actually, it's just got this lame name: frost. =)
		  maybe I should write something about endorsing Wacom in
		  there... =)))

	<|ps|> :) is wacom better or worse then using a rodent? :)

	<_frost_> depends what you use it for. hehe =)

	<|ps|> for pixelling :D

	<_frost_> My Wacom tablet does wonders for scrubbing my clothes.. =)
		  erm, pixeling is for mice. =) hehe

	<|ps|> :P

	<_frost_> pixeling: gfx2+mouse
		  24bit_artwork: photoshop+tablet
		  that's how it is for me. =)

	<|ps|> thank you for that helpfull hint
	       the fact that wacom doesnt work on gfx2 doesnt mean anything
	       does it? :P

	<_frost_> you don't have the same kind of pin-point precision with
		  the pen, but you have better curves. pixeling being more
		  tedious precise work requires a mouse. drawing freehand
		  requires a good curve tool that is more like a pen...
		  which it is. guess not. =))

	<|ps|> ;) ok.. thank you for your time! got any last words of wisdom
	       for us mear mortals? :)

	<_frost_> np. =)
		  Wisdom is not in the hands of those who think they have it.

	<|ps|> :P

=====! demo !==================================================================

	Magma/Mentasm
	Winner of Saturne 96

	  Ola. so, after some hours of demowatching, (ps and me) i showed him
	one of my favourites in 1996. they showed up 3d's like you today see
	in demos like shad or nomad productions. the "lame" thing that there
	isn't nothing new since then, just camera moving around on the scene,
	that's all; no interresting morphings, shadow's lights, and sometimes
	bilinear is missing too. the demo has some traditional effects like
	whirpool a la doomsday, just not that colorfull. the overall quality
	of the demo is really good, that's why i liked it those days...

	  btw, where are the mentasm guys today? or they have just one demo
	and ended up carreer?
									 dlee

	[editor: HAHA! mentasm organize volcanic! :) research rules! :P]


=====! intro !=================================================================

	gamma/mfx
	3rd place at Abduction 97

	  Those days and before MFX never could won. this one placed only 3rd
	too, but think it's still one of the best raytracing intros. well in
	256 color, but who cares. there is a scene when 32 (!) lights are
	shown if i remember correctly. and the whole system is shadowed, the
	metaballs too. the music is just the usual hardcore. that time dnb
	like things weren't flooded us.

	mfx/(mewlers) still rock, and they are the last "big" groups left
	from Finland.
									 dlee


=====! music !=================================================================

	"On me" by Hunz

	  Ack, hungarians are all techno and mp3 junkies! no good music this
	week so i review the on me series beeing remixed all the time. good
	vocals from hunz, originally for the "80s decade" or something like
	that music disk went a soft dosk-pop version of the song. Some time
	later wayfinder remixed it into an underworld feeling song, quite
	catchy and er.. "groovy". And now as a tdr release we get another
	remix, this time by paniq, not a heavy dnb remix like we would be
	lead to believe but a rather "fun and stupid summer mix" so we now
	have 3 "on me" 's. When is the musicdisk coming out? ;)
									   ps

	Ramblings on what happened in 1 year of demojournal

	1. What happened to the scene in general..

	the coders started going to hicolor hires windows and linux coding.
	(well linux only mostly in france but...)

	the graphicians got extinct since the few that exist are good but
	are also busy like hell. visualize made a cool comeback. we bow to
	his feet heavily and stuff.. :D

	musicians go around like hell.. they tend to go more for mp3 stuff
	which is not bad if they can track it, save it to wav and convert,
	not bad for demoscene that is.. the typical demoscene style music
	seems to be going away, psychedelic trance, trip hop, drum and bass,
	dub and other "new-age" sounds seem to be picking up.
