 Hi fellow scener!
 
 Finishing this demo has been a hell. Planned to be presented in the past
 euskal party  (a year ago), and  then in the breakpoint, it was finished
 in the partyplace, as usual :)
 
 This demo  was heavily  influenced by conversations with Navis from ASD,
 when he was in Bilbao  (I am talking about year 2008)  and iq from RGBA.
 You can notice this in the transitions  from one scene to the  next one,
 fact that we have tried to smooth as much as possible.
 
 The people that have seen the  demo preview told me that the  city scene
 used a rendering mode  too similar to the one  used by Navis in his last
 production "Rupture". In fact the shader  used in the demo was available
 in the demo editor since our "death of the death" demo, presented in the
 breakpoint in 2008, and was awaiting for a  massive destruction scene as
 the one contained in this prod.
 
 This time, the particle engine  was heavily improved, adding support for
 3D objects as particles.  The rendering pipeline has been also reworked,
 allowing to display more and more simultaneous polygons.  There are also
 new effects and sections available  in the demoeditor and two new  types
 of cameras, allowing realtime modifications of pre-recorded paths.
 
 Notice  that if you are interested  in this demo generation tool,  it is
 possible to get it through the spontz web page: http://www.spontz.org
 
 I remember myself  spending a lot  of time imagining  how to put all the
 scenes together. The ideas appeared randomly at different moments... for
 example,  the mandalas in the middle  came after  watching a film in the
 cinema, the city scene appeared when watching E.T. again, and some other
 came just surfing the internet for inspiration.
 
 Yes, I know that there are too many pics of me in the demo.  It's not my
 fault, since the original idea was to show us inside  creating different
 weird effects.  I only could get a pic for  isaac2 and other for xphere,
 and both of them are shown at the begining  of the demo. Khrome and Amon
 never sent me a picture. Sooo i picked up the camera and filled the rest
 of the scenes with myself :)
 
 Anyway, too late to continue writing,  it's time to sleep a bit,  I hope
 you to enjoy  this demo,  it will be the last  one for a long  period of
 time =)
