PC-14: Splinter |
Released at Solskogen 2018 in beautiful Norway this Demo was created in a short 2.5 week production. The Demo uses a triangle distorting effect that allows for rotation and scaling of triangles near a specific simulation point. It also features heavily our volume light enabled tube lights. The Demo managed to win the PC-Demo Compo. Big thanks go out to Lerper for the nice soundtrack. |

PC-13: Wursttunnel |
12 o'clock on the Revision 2017 Saturday PandaCube decided that we should release a PC-Demo for Revision 2017. Within an hour we had aquired a pumping soundtrack from Akustikrausch and started working on the Release. A small little physics simulation was written for the middle part, so that the Wieners are getting affected by gravity. Some of the lighting in the second tunnel part is driven by the FFT values generated from the Soundtrack. By giving up on all but 2 hours of sleep, we were able to release this fun little party hack. |

PC-11: Guardian |
Released at Kindergarden 2014, it managed to place 2rd in the Combined Newschool Demo Compo. For this Demo we implemented a nice "Dirty Lens" effect and revisited the Volumelighting. We improved the performance somewhat (still scales pretty poorly with framebuffer resolution) but more importantly we reduced a lot of the artifacts that we had in the Volumelighting before. The soundtrack was made by Lerper. |

PC-10: Panda³ |
Released at Revision 2015, it managed to win the Wild Compo. We built the "Real PandaCube" from 3d printed parts for the edges and corners that house the 360 NeoPixels that can be individually adressed with a 24bit Colordepth. The sides are made of 300 x 300 x 6 mm acrylic glass. The custom build is powered by a 200W Powersupply. The LEDs are programmed using an Arduino Mega 2560. This is an 8-bit CPU with 8Kb of RAM and 256Kb of flash ROM. The CPU is clocked at 16 MHz. |

PC-09: The Wizard of Cos |
Released at Revision 2014, it managed to place 3rd in a strong PC Demo Compo. This Demo brought plenty of behind the scenes Framework improvements that cut the loading times down to 2-3 seconds. Two big effects where implemented for this production. Order Independent Transparency allows many transparent objects in the second scene. A Metaball effect based on per-pixel linked lists allows for many Metaballs to be on Screen at any one point. There are some glitches with MSAA, so if you don't want to wait for the Post-Party-Release, I would recommend to run without MSAA for now. The soundtrack has been provided by Response of Darklite. |

PC-08: Dead Again |
Released at Solskogen 2013, it managed to win the PC Demo Compo. For the whole production we only had 2.5 weeks, as we were finishing up the PPR release for PC-07 right before. We decided to base this production on a volume lighting effect, that was creaated for PC-07, but was too heavy to be used for that production. If you have a SLI based system make sure to check the readme file to get the most performance out of this Demo. |

PC-07: Breached PPR |
For this Post-Party-Release Version we fixed a couple of technical issues like Anti Aliasing not working and improved the quality of the lightning simulation. The biggest changes are in the Lighting though. Zonbie spent quite some time optimizing our usage of the dynamic lights in the scene. Overall this PPR Version is a very nice improvement for the Breached Demo. |

PC-07: Breached |
Released at Revision 2013, this Demo placed 4th in the PC Demo Compo. It was created in two months in early 2013. We ran out of time quite dramatically on this release again, getting the central Lightning effect in only 40 minutes before the deadline. On the tech side, this Demo introduced skinned animations and 3D positional audio support (including 5.1 suround sound support, if you have the hardware support for it). Also quite some time was spent on cleaning up the PandaCube framework, making sure it does not leak memory and improving the workflow when working with it. |

PC-06: Rev.2 |
Released at Revision 2012, this Demo managed to win the PC Demo Compo. It was created in a few weeks in early 2012. Even though we were working on the Release right up to the last minute, we are quite happy with the polish level that we reached. Unfortunately we did not have time to optimize the Demo for file size. For this release we implemented a parallax occlusion mapping shader. From the tech side we switched to a DirectX 11 Renderer, added a colorgrading PostFX and implemented a new Material system that allows quick setups of new materials. |

PC-05: Flux PPR |
5 weeks of polish brought to life this gem of a Demo. If you liked the original Flux release, you will be quite impressed by the quality of this post-party-release. |

PC-05: Flux |
Released at Revision 2011, this Demo managed to win the PC Demo competition. Although we were working on the Demo non stop at the party, we did not manage to polish it at all. |

PC-04: Partycle PPR |
As the year before we did not have time to polish PC-04 before releasing it at Breakpoint 2010. A couple of weeks after the Demoparty we released this post-party-release, that adds a nice Depth of Field PostFX, reduced the file size of the release, made the cold chamber scene a bit lighter and added tons more particles to the last scene. About 200.000 Partycles celebrate this Panda Cube release in the last scene. |

PC-04: Partycle |
Our second Demo Release had though competition at the Final Breakpoint Event in 2010. In a very strong competition with entries like "Rove" from Farbrausch and "Agenda circling forth" from Fairlight & CNCD our Demo that was produced in just 8 weeks, managed to place 3rd out of 23. New features that made it into this release are PostFX, Improved Forward Lighting, Music Synching, GPU Particles, new Surface Shaders and instanced Geometry. |

PC-03: ON/OFF Redux |
This Demo is a remake of our first Demo and was released and shown on the Big Screen (out-of-competition) at Breakpoint 2010. We spent quite some time to realize all the Visuals that we had imagined for our initial PC-03 release, but did not have the time to finish. It features updated Models, baked Ambient Occlusion, dynamic light sources with shadow maps and a very detailed, ray-traced, reactor core effect that is simulating a water surface. |

PC-03: ON/OFF |
The first Demo of Panda Cube was build from scratch in 6 weeks. Most of the time was spent on getting the Panda Cube framework up and running. Only 2 weeks were spent on the actual Demo content. Though it did not have amazing Visuals, the soundtrack was carrying Panda Cube's Demo debut. The Demo was finished on site at Breakpoint 2009 on borrowed Hardware, as the Demo required DirectX 10 to run. To everyones surprise, the Demo placed 3rd out of 25 entries. |

PC-02: BoxEdit3D |
This program was programmed in a period of 2 1/2 Days as a programming test in the recruitment process for a game company. The task was to program an editor that allows the easy creation and manipulation of boxes. Complete undo/redo functionality and the possibility to save and load the scene configuration to xml files was part of the task description. Please note that this program was programmed in a very short time period and therefore is not polished in all aspects (i.e. missing 2D User Interface). This program was writen in C# and requires the .NET Framework 2.0 and the XNA Game Studio 2.0. The readme file within the zip files contains information, how to obtain the runtime libraries of these frameworks. |
