Very weird take to call Future Crew a "research group" and Second Reality a "graphics technology". Future Crew was a PC Demo group (in Demo Scene) and Second Reality an excellent and ground breaking demo. There wasn't any magic technology in it, but instead some very clever effects from the members, bound together into an artistic demo.
I cannot comment anything about the facts what came after with Bitboys, but the author doesn't seem to know the history and details on their demo scene origins.
- blacklion 2y agoI come to write this comment. Only I don't think "Second Reality" is very artistic. It is very impressive technically, but, to be honest, now you could see that it is quilt made from technical demos from different people. Yes, all these sub-demos are technical masterpieces, but demo as whole doesn't have some story or narrative to tell. I've re-watched it (youtube rendering) now and, to be honest, these 10 minutes is not entertaining, till you remember on which hardware and in how much codesize it was squeezed. Embossed nuts? Jumping platonic solids? Yes, very impressive for person who tried to program graphics on PC in 1993 and fantastic technical achievement, but artistic? I cannot say so, sorry.
