ok, a overall judgement, kickass pack, too bad that there wasn't more remixers to try to do the somewhat impossible (remixing a unconed preset), but the bunch that did really did a nice job and i think will get a lot of showings on my avs-window. 9.5/10.
really cool work here, just what one should expect from unconed plus a little more. loved 'mister santa', jheriko's 'milky way xtreme' and the last two presets, but everything was really cool, i really liked that neon-like bright effect on some presets. amazing pack! (btw, try slapping an invert under the last effect list in 'tron', looks yummy )
I'll be like montana and comment everything the real impressionist - wow, I was probably looking t this preset more time than any other on in this pack (in fact I'm still sxaming it right now ). Amazing effect with (relatively) simple methods. I love it! You should make more living paintings, you definitely have a talent in this (in everything? ) duo / hash the planet - I like the camera movement here, great response to the music, gets a little too fast on high fps though. I love space presets duo / solar winds nothing surprizingly new, but the camera code is lovely once again! elvis / color throat - great math and texture of course, but I would realy enjoy speed changes depending on music (if there are some, I didn't notice). I like the triple lines very very much elvis / deep red sea - my mom's favourite We both realy like the bubbles and the shiny star. Music response is well done too! fsk / wtf I'm lost - 2b honest I didn't like the colors and there's not much stuff changed. Do my eyes lie to me or is there a 0-way intersection? jheriko / milky way Xtreme - absolutely love this preset!the only thing I didn't realy like is the spec analyzer on the topleft.The galaxy itself is mega-cool, looks very realistic montana / alternative reality - the idea seems interesting, but the outlines are a bit too heavy on my eyes, not much music response too. nemoorange / defectocube - as always, I love your surfacing job! Looks delicious, especialy when I set DM to [150x150] . Boo the ugly edges syndrome nemoorange / Implode Explode - one of my favourites in this pack! I pesonaly would add a little colormapping to it (slight tone cahange closer to orange ). Great texture, great movement and response! nemoorange / Inside Gamecube - I didn't realy like the colors and the movement is a bit jumpy. Tireding on the eyes. nemoorange / Lost Cause - Good design indeed. I enjoyed the simplicity and fps of this preset raz / source - Great, slow and techy preset! Mega-cool composition, the walls are a bit too dark IMO. Nice idea skupers / Reflectosphere - Jawdropping preset! I love it and I can't imagine ever doing something so so advanced. A++
...I'll finish tomorrow, too sleepy now Great job, UCD and Co.

ZAP1 [link] | ZAP2 [link] | ZAP3 [link] | ZAP4 [link]
intro - the real impressionist: scary innit, looks very alive, niiiice
hash the planet: duo takes a funky approach to a beloved preset, nice done, the movement is kick ass
solar winds: hmm, very trippy, nicely done, the colors & light is well done, good job duo
color throat: elvis uses his skills to add this wonderful texture to fiber optics, i love it
deep red sea: hmm, those bubbles are really cool and along with the nice color work on the bubbles and tentacle, this turn out as a nice mediumchiller preset, me likes
wtf i'm lost: fsk's take on zgm3 turns out killer, the maze rework is nice, i also like the texture, good job
milky way xtreme: das milky way in a scientific-like approach, /me likes, also nice colors in the galaxy
alternate reality: i'm not gonna comment on this remix as it was done by me, but i can say somethings, this was hard to do, a lot of betas was done, and finally i did this piece and i'm really proud of it
defectocube: the texture is really cool, and the preset is way killer too, but it's nemo, what else can you expect
implode explode: heh. nemo, killer reworking, the movement is like way out this world, nicely done, only nit pick is that the black & white makes it a wee dull
inside gamecube: taking a trip back to the 80's are we? really nice, the mosaic texture gives it that extra touch
lost cause: hmm, funky, the texture gives it a nice stripped-down feel, good work
source 3: raz takes the essence of the preset and puts it in a concrete jungle envirement and it turns out killer, the camera movement is to realy give a "whole perspective", nice
reflectosphere: heh, talk about a remake, skupers really put a nice new enviroment, nice, the textureing is also nice
alien alloy: hmm, very uhmm, slimey
energy crystal: very hi-tech/griddy, the blue tones are nice, and yeah, good job
über-designers-com: very stylish and very nice, really has that intensity of the original, nice done
drunk pleasure: this take is very in-your-face and lo-tech-"flamboyant", nice.
high voltage: hmm, very intense and very electric
inhaler: i like this, very trippy and like underwater, the colors give it a extra edge, nice done
mister santa: mister happy is back, and typicaly he's still drunk, mieh, what to do (maybe get him to some aa-meetings or something, i mean he has already finished two bottles of wine)
roses are red: i think this might be the loving take of "amoebic star" , the in your face thing still works and this is nice
speeder 4k: the speeder is back and now it is faster and going thru even more high voltage land, nice
tempt me: i think these words from "trisco - ultra" really nails the imagry & vibe of the preset "temptation put a spell on me"
the lion king: hmm, a more subtle but yet majestic take of trippy badboy "comatose enlightment", the colors are really nice, and i love it
twisting fun: i like the stripped down stylish approach and the color scheme really works, good job
watercolorcube: hmm, i dunno, sure the colors are nice, but it's still a bit mieh,
spitze lakritze, baby!: yathosho gives his famous touch on this and the color scheme is really nice
tlx-71: ooh yeaaah, really really nice, the somewhat full & rich colors and that in your face thing really turns out kickass, /me loves
bright light district: so miss happy as a go-go dancer? nice approach, ok, i've seen this before but i like the final take on it and i think it really kicks ass
fiestacube: partytime in the 4th dimension? i dunno, but i love this tho, the texture and the cube really works
tron: ok, so if fiestacube is the party approach then this is the spacey & hi-tech approachm and i think i like the fiesta one better but this is still nice tho
ok, a overall judgement, kickass pack, too bad that there wasn't more remixers to try to do the somewhat impossible (remixing a unconed preset), but the bunch that did really did a nice job and i think will get a lot of showings on my avs-window. 9.5/10.
